• Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) integration

automatically sets databases that are VSS-aware into

the “quiet” state so that recovery points can be captured

without taking the databases offline.

• Pre- and post-command processing allows

administrators to customize additional actions they wish

to take prior to capturing a recovery point or after a

recovery point has been captured.

• Mount recovery points in Windows Explorer for

immediate search, file recovery, or virus scanning.

• Support for Microsoft Active Directory® allows a restored

domain controller to be resynchronized with its

originating domain.

• Quickly and easily restore entire systems to dissimilar

hardware to dramatically reduce recovery times and save

on significant hardware investments.

• Hot imaging combines with the ability to restore to

different hardware platforms on the fly and breaks the

barrier of incompatible storage controllers and hardware

abstraction layers.

• Restore Anyware also supports network interface

controllers (NICs), ensuring that your NIC will function

properly after a recovery point has been restored to

dissimilar hardware.

• Users can migrate their system to a new computer

without requiring a new installation. This is key when

upgrading hardware or repurposing systems to serve a

different role.

4.0, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, and Citrix

XenServer 5.x.

• An easy-to-use virtual conversion wizard allows for quick

conversion directly to VMDK or VHD files. Additionally, IT

administrators can set a schedule for having physical

recovery points (backups) converted to virtual systems,

enabling immediate recovery.

testing of patches, application installations,

configuration changes, or driver updates in a virtual
