Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Acronis® True Image Echo Server – a complete solution for
corporate users
You have come to rely on your servers to run your business and retain key enterprise
data. Acronis True Image Echo Server provides comprehensive, reliable, and cost-
effective system protection and recovery for corporate servers, running Linux. With
Acronis True Image Echo Server you have peace of mind knowing you are protected and
can recover from any situation.
Minimizes downtime
Acronis True Image Echo Server for Linux enables you to restore systems in minutes, not
hours or days. An entire system can be restored from an image that includes everything
the system needs to run: the operating system, applications, databases, and
configurations. No reinstallation or reconfiguration is required. Moreover, complete system
restoration can be performed to an existing system or to a new system with different
hardware or to virtual machines. File-based backups provide you with the flexibility to
only backup selected critical files.
Eases Administration
Wizards guide users through backup and recovery tasks, ensuring the product can be
implemented with minimal user training.
Automates Backup
With the scheduling capability in Acronis True Image Echo Server, you simply create
backup tasks, tailored by group, at certain times or at certain events, automating
backups.
To ensure that backups have occurred, or user intervention is required, you can request
notifications via email or pop-up. You can view events in Acronis own log.
The product also supports the creation of custom commands before and after backups.
For example, users can automatically run anti-virus products before an image is created
and verify the validity of backups after they have been created.
Ensures 24 X 7 Uptime
With the Acronis Drive Snapshot systems can be imaged while they are in use, supporting
24 by 7 availability. This technology enables the product to backup and image critical
operating system files, the master boot record and any partition-based boot records
without requiring a reboot. A CPU allocation feature allows you to limit the amount of CPU
usage for the application to maximize the CPUs available for mission critical applications.
Moreover, users can control hard disk drive writing speeds and control network bandwidth
used during backups, allowing you minimally disrupt business operations.
For correct backup of mission critical databases, Acronis True Image Echo Server will
execute your custom commands, that suspend and resume database processing, before
and after data capture.
Supports Cutting Edge Technology
Businesses today are moving to leverage the latest technologies, dual-core 64 bit
processors and 64 bit operating systems. With Acronis True Image Echo Server, you can
protect these new machines, as well as legacy ones, running one solution.
