Minimizes computer downtime when we have a server or workstation failure

Bare Metal disaster recovery with dissimilar hardware restore and physical-to-virtual conversion functionality. While I rely on image backup for protecting my operating systems against failure and malware infections (like WannaCry, Petya), I backup data partitions using dedicated agents for Exchange and SQL and use UltraBac’s integrated file-by-file capability to select specific files and folders, rather than for images, which is partition level only.
