December 18, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Disk-based backup solutions developer Righteous Software (r1soft.com) announced on Sunday that it has introduced a new method for booting servers into disaster recovery mode.
Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Service Provider! DataPipe delivers the best network & support; top tier data centers; New York metro, Silicon Valley, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai. DataPipe - Personal Touch, Global Reach.
The company says the new tool adds a third method for executing a bare-metal restore to the existing methods - using a boot CD ROM, which requires physical access to the server, and the Pre-Boot Execution Environment, which requires a specially configured data center network.
Righteous says its Live Boot software enables server administrators to initiate disaster recovery mode remotely on Linux servers and execute a bare-metal restore through the secure shell protocol.
"With the introduction several months ago of our control panel-integrated backup solutions, we have gained a significant number of small to medium sized Web hosts who have vastly different requirements and barriers than larger hosts and datacenters," says David Wartell, Righteous Software founder and CEO. "Today's release is designed to create additional capabilities for clients without physical access to their servers or without high-level network permissions. Shared hosts utilizing dedicated servers are such an example."
To use Live Boot, Righteous customers must download a copy of the software from the company's download site and executed on the customer's server. Live Boot can be installed prior to a disaster.
