Boston Hannah New York

Boston Hannah Chicago Deploy Application-Aware Backup and Recovery Solutions Application-aware backup is extremely important for understanding the specific requirements of each major enterprise application. With ECM systems, for example, traditional backup approaches have no awareness of the relationships that an object, such as a document, has to other objects in a business process, such as another document in a workflow. Therefore, if an ECM system routes documents through an approval process, and if one of those documents is accidentally lost—it cannot be restored back to the state it was at before the loss occurred. The only option is to route it back through the approval process until it reaches the stage it was at prior to the deletion and suffer the permanent loss of annotations and other properties' metadata that can't be recreated. This opens the door for compliance risk since the approval process, which specifies who approved what when, is not the original, but a recreation. A granular, application-aware backup and recovery solution offers the ability to quickly restore only the affected information back to its original state, with the original metadata intact, avoiding disruptions to critical operations and facilitating compliance.
