Application Protector

Fast, Familiar, Easy-to-Use and Application-aware

Hitachi Application Protector uses a new storage-system-based snapshot technology that leverages Microsoft VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service), to give you application-consistent data protection. Application Protector understands how and where the primary datastores and supporting files (like log files) are stored on the system. As a result, it ensures that all application-related data changes are tracked and backed up at the requested point-in-time so that recovery is guaranteed. The storage-system-based snapshot technology creates backup images quickly and easily. The technology also uses storage space efficiently to maintain changes to the datastores and files. Recovery is further simplified by snapshot technology because the protected data appears in a mirrored file system just like the original. Simply right-click to recover the datastores and related files.
