5 Operational Example for Linux Edition designed for Linux servers /restoration on Linux servers can be performed via GUI just as in Windows servers. Files/Folders can be individually restored as well. Operational Example in -to-virtual Migration (PtoV) By using -to-virtual (PtoV) conversion feature, virtualization can be easily accomplished by converting image and HDD into virtual disk format and connecting it to a virtual. Multiple Machines as Sources Linux Server Windows Machine Console for Windows is included. The Windows usually used can also be used to operate on GUI to directly manage and work on Linux backups. Console Screen (Dashboard) Consolidated Migration to Machine GUI-oriented Screen for Incremental Settings Virtualization Remote File Explorer NEW Applicable Product: Active Protector Linux Edition License: License per server By using Active Protector, backups can be performed on multiple physical s and backup s can be consolidated to another physical. license of Active Protector given totarget physical enables all operations. Disk Map View on Wizard Graphical User Interface (GUI) implemented Incremental GPT supported, LVM configuration backup/restore enabled Use P-to-V feature to convert saved image s into virtual disk format, and those virtual disks are connected to virtual s. (Note) For restoration into different or virtual host, licenses for OS and application are required. Virtualization on Target Machine Hyper-V or VMware ESX/ESXi Operational Example for IT Pro Edition designed for IT Administrator IT Pro Edition performs backups on server in operation without having to install any applications or drivers on the server.

Technician License: Specified technician may operate on a single computer a time. There is no restriction on the total number of computers on which the software is used. Active period can be chosen from one year and 90 days. Migration to virtual environment by server virtualization Virtualization of servers is rapidly gaining popularity with cost reduction, energy efficiency, footprint reduction and improvement in operational efficiency in mind. Our management has decided to virtualize our IT operation, but I don't know where to start... Protector Active has physicalto-virtual conversion feature. Virtualization can be easily accomplished by converting image or physical disk backed up into virtual disk. For Environment For IT Specialists For Cluster Environment Active Protector Cluster Edition Cluster Environment License: license per cluster/ft/ha which is configured with 2 OSs running on 2 physical/virtual s (2-node). size has increased resulting in much backup time Business data used in company is increasing all the time. Usual s used in applications such as documents, images, movies as well as business databases, and in case of virtual environment, virtual disks on multiple s... these all add up to make occupy large portion of storage. The biggest problems server administrators face are how to save storage capacity and time spent for performing backups! We don't have an in-house IT administrator, and backups on servers and client PCsPCare not regularly performed. While importance of making backups of servers and client PCs is well-acknowledged, we do not perform it since there is no IT administrator in our company. That is a cause of worries. Dramatically Reduces Size and Time Active Protector has InLine Data Deduplication feature which reduces the size of large data down to 50% of the original. time is also shorter than competitors. Automatic by Easy Operation Active Protector can be throughly operated through the wizard and does not required specialized engineer. Additionally, Scheduled feature enables automatic backups. Developed in-house with assured support!! We endeavor to develop and continuously improve ideal backup software products backed with our years of experience of handling imaging products.
