The key to an effective disaster recovery plan is restoring all of the servers onto available hardware. Virtualization technology is naturally suited for recovery from unplanned downtime, and it can be incorporated into an effective backup and restore strategy. This strategy starts with Acronis True Image, which enables to easily create server image archives across the entire network. Backing up server data, however, is the easy part of disaster recovery - there are many solutions on the market to do just that. Restoring data is what gets difficult. This is where the rapid recovery solution can help. In the event of unplanned downtime, one can use the Acronis Universal Restore add-on for Acronis True Image along with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 to restore these archived server images, whether physical or virtual, onto a waiting virtual machine hosted on available hardware.
