How does FileNexus aid me in disaster recovery?

A. The hardware component of the server is configured with at least two mirrored hard drives; if one goes down, the system is still fully functional.

These, in turn, are backed up on tape (either internal or network tape drive), so, if both hard drives go down, they can be rapidly rebuilt.

Data partitions are configured on the hard drives to amass data prior to archival to the storage units, the size of the partitions being determined by the size of the media cartridges to which data will be ultimately archived. Once a data partition is full, it is copied to the storage unit. Concurrently, it is copied to an optical media burner for production of a disk for your fire-safe. This disk contains a copy of all the data and principal indexes necessary for rapid resumption of operations in the event of a catastrophe such as fire.
