XLGuard


Choosing the right method of protecting your data can be a complicated task. Most data protection and disaster recovery plans are multi-tiered and offer both a hardware element and a disk backup element. RAID arrays are good for protecting your organization from disk failure, but what if a file is deleted or modified by either human error or malicious activity? Data backup is a vital part of any solid infrastructure plan, combined with RAID you can create a bullet proof dedicated server or virtual private server hosted infrastructure.

XLHost Is pleased to partner with R1Soft to deliver XLGuard. XLGuard combines CDP by R1Soft with XLHost’s No Compromises network to deliver a best in breed client-agent backup solution for both Linux and Windows.

Some of the benefits of XLGuard include:
  • Bare Metal Disaster Recovery
    • Your dedicated server can be restored to its previous state prior to a complete disk failure without re-installing the operating system or partitioning a new hard disk.
  • High Performance
    • Servers are fully operational during backups, impact of backup and overhead is minimal.
  • Open File Backups
    • CDP includes Open File Backups. No additional software agent is required.
  • Near Continuous Data Protection
    • While your dedicated server is running, CDP keeps track of what sectors on the disk have changed. This allows for instant incremental backups without time consuming block-by-block comparisons.
  • Very small backup windows
    • Only changed disk sectors are copied, incremental backups are completed within minutes.
  • Strong encryption
    • User can enable various levels of encryption both for when the data is stored on XLHost’s storage cluster and while being transferred through XLHost’s No Compromises network.
  • Remote Administration
    • Web based interface allows you to manage your own backup and restore operations.
  • Email reporting
