Overview
• Most companies have some sort of IT Disaster recovery / Business continuity plan in place
• Businesses evolve and data increases– is your DR plan adequate?
• The best technology is to have a live replica system but this is expensive and therefore cost prohibitive
• There is now “Pre-recovery” which builds replica systems every 24 hours and tests them.
• Pre-recovery is much lower cost, but has the benefits of guaranteed recovery and fast recovery times

What is Pre-recovery?
Put simply…..
It’s the process of recovering your IT systems in advance and testing them so should you have an IT disaster you have a virtual replica system that’s already configured and tested. This means:• It’s guaranteed to work as it’s already tested• You will be up and running near instantaneously• It’s incredibly simple to use – no technical assistance
is required from the client end.

How does it work?
Dedicated Plan B Appliance
takes ‘snapshot’ copies of live
servers. Incremental data is
minimised and encrypted and
securely transferred to Plan B’s
central systems
Incremental snapshot data
is combined with existing
snapshots to create new
updated snapshots for
each protected server
Updated snapshots are immediately built into working virtual
images and configured to operate without error on the Plan B
Rescue platform. Plan B’s master system configured to replicate all
dependencies and to reproduce secure network connectivity
All newly pre-recovered services are automatically
booted together and the complete solution tested every
night. Any errors are reported for engineer
investigation
Pre-recovered solutions are ready to
be simply booted and can be
available in minutes with secure
network access setup ready to do
work

How do the costs compare?
• Pre-recovery is available at a cost comparable to traditional disaster recovery
• Automation allows us to recover and test your IT systems every 24 hours
• Virtualisation and the cloud has enabled this technology at a price point that is previously unobtainable
• Roughly £150 per month per server can guarantee availability (depending on data quantities)

< 15 minute or < 24 hour Recovery point
Plan B’s standard single Snapshot operation provides a < 24 hour recovery point
Running a parallel On-line Backup service (OLB) can provide an enhanced recovery point of < 15 minutes.
The On-Line Backup service is used to roll forward the data point after the servers have been recovered
