ImageManager Features
ImageManager has the following basic features:
Verify: Based on a frequency that you define, ImageManager automatically verifies, and re-verifies, the integrity of backup image files.
The verification process is similar to that available manually using the Verify Wizard in ShadowProtect.
Consolidate: Based on a policy that you define, ImageManager automatically consolidates Incremental backup image files. This limits the
risk of having large backup image file chains where one bad file can render a whole backup image useless.
Replicate (Local): Based on a profile that you define, ImageManager automatically creates redundant copies of backup image files to
locally-attached hard drives. Smart replication technology evaluates the consolidation policy to avoid transferring unnecessary or obsolete
backup image files.
Beyond these basic features, ImageManager offers these premium features available with the purchase of a job license:
Replicate (Network): Based on a profile that you define, ImageManager automatically creates redundant copies of backup image files to a
network share.
Replicate (Off-site): Based on a profile that you define, ImageManager automatically creates and sends copies of backup image files to
an remote server. ImageManager provides both high-speed ShadowStream replication and intelligentFTP replication options for off-site
replication.
HeadStart Restore: HeadStart Restore (HSR) is the ability to restore a backup image while ShadowProtect continues to add Incremental
backup images to the same backup image chain. In a world of multi-Terabyte storage HSR lets you short-circuit the restore process,
greatly limiting the down-time associated with a hardware or software failure. For information about using HeadStart Restore, see
HeadStart Restore Scenarios.
