Product Details

Overview
When installed with a replication partner AppAssure is a very robust system for backup, replication and disaster recovery. Here’s how it works. 

Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) is a software solution which runs on top of a Windows Server host. The software may be purchased as either a stand-alone product or as a pre-installed rack-mount name brand appliance. In either configuration this central server is known as a “Core”. The core acts as the onsite repository of all backed up data. 

Like a traditional backup solution, the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) core communicates to each protected server via a lightweight agent. Following an initial “base” or “seed” of the server the agent monitors changes on the server between each backup. This backup is known as a snapshot. The cadence on this snapshot process is infinitely variable with a minimum value of 5 minutes. At each snapshot interval the agent aggregates all the changed blocks on the server, and following de-duplication and compression, they are written to the core. 

Unlike many disk-based solutions the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) agent and process is very lightweight and has trivial impact on the target server.
