Data Centre Disaster Recovery Policy |
Managed Hosts Data Protection Policy
- All virtual server images are stored on RAID protected SAN volumes, with SAN mirroring and Continuous Availability available for high SLA applications
- Virtual servers are imaged to a second line SAN either daily or weekly depending on the level of protection required, images are retained for up to three months to allow point in time recovery of servers
- Server image backups are archived weekly to LTO tape for offsite storage
- Continuous data protection is available for critical data using our vaultXS service, which backs the data up to our disaster recovery site in Surrey
Data Recovery Systems
- In the unlikely event of a hardware failure of the physical host server hardware its virtual servers are restarted on another host server within a few minutes, unless Continuous Availability is in place, in which case failover is immediate and transparent (no loss of data, user sessions etc)
- Should it be necessary to restore a previous server image, or files from that image, this can usually be achieved within 2 hours
- In the event of a complete datacentre failure server images can be restored from our offsite tape backups within one working day
- vaultXS offsite backup data can be restored within one hour for up to 1GB of data, larger data sets may take up to a maximum of 4 hours

Veeam Monitor leverages Veeam Business View™ to enable performance monitoring, alerting and reporting for virtual machine groups based on criteria such as business unit, department, location, purpose, service-level agreement or any other criteria you define. This ability to perform business-centric monitoring helps to identify the business impact of a virtual infrastructure’s performance and respond accordingly. It also allows you to create flexible alerts based on known server type characteristics and the potential business impact of an outage for more granular service-level management. You can also create targeted reports showing only the data relevant to specific business units, departments or types of server.
