ATEGO Bare Metal

If your entire server is destroyed you will have to rebuild an entirely new machine from what we term ‘bare metal’. This is usually a lengthy process, but it can be speeded up in couple of ways. With the ATEGO Cloud Backup, you can back up all the data held on a particular Windows server.  This includes data, profiles, registry/system state, service packs, etc. So, to rebuild a new server, you need only install a fresh copy of the same version of the operating system, and then use the ATEGO backup to restore the service packs, applications and data. To speed up the initial installation of the operating system we suggest you use a pre-made Ghost image that you have stored in a safe location.

Another option is to use snapshot software to take images of your critical server, and then use the ATEGO service to back up the images off-site. This way you don’t have to worry about your snapshots burning up in a fire, and you don’t have to worry about transporting and storing a Ghost image somewhere.  We can help you combine the two technologies to create a single coherent strategy.
