Would be nice if the site worked?

 

Click on ENTER and see the Server Error in the App.

Hmmmm…sorry about that…

 

Well it basically said the next release of Ahsay would contain a provision to integrate with Shadow Protect…

 

For those of you following along at home…

 

Ahsay is a MSP or server based backup solution that supports replication of data to multiple sites over the Public Internet.  It supports open files, SQL, Exchange, and all major OS platforms.  It does not support bare metal.  Most IT professionals in the SMB space advocate “Bare Metal” or image backups in conjunction with a Managed Offsite Backup service.  Now they can have the best of both worlds.

 

To date, the software and hardware required to provide this service was expensive.  As a MSP this now enables me to provide a complete backup solution that provides for incredibly quick restoration and also the ultimate in security for a very low monthly fee.

 

Regards,

 

CP

I need to get on the Ahsay bandwagon, and bare metal is kind of necessary these days.  SC works great.

I love the ability to say I can do it at all.

 

There are a lot of jokers out there selling file based offsite backups only.

 

If you have a full crash, you’re completely boned.

 

The framework to set it up isn’t too painful, and I’m sure AhSay has forward and reverse delta.  Ahsay and SC Server ShadowProtect isn’t exactly cheap, but I love telling customers I can throw their server off a bridge and it won’t matter.

 

The integrated thing at the end of the month will be interesting.
