DBShadow

Protect your business-critical data in databases

With DBShadow^® deleted, damaged, changed or completely lost data from your database is available within minutes, with the most recent, consistent set of data, without the need for restore procedures of backup media - easy to use and cost-effective.

The recovery process of a database after a severe failure or a downtime often is combined with an exceeding several-hours- or several-days-long effort. And it is not always guaranteed that you are able to restore a consistent set of data of the recent past.

With DBShadow you will be prepared for every case of emergency, because your database is mirrored with time-delay - fully automated.

DBShadow provides:

	Best possible protection from the consequences of all types of errors: hardware failures and logical failures (e.g. software and human error, faulty batch jobs, sabotage) as well as disasters (e.g. fire, flood, power blackout)
	Continuous and consistent backup of your databases
	Automated failover processes
	Amazingly fast error recovery after failover to the mirror system. Continue to work with the most recent, consistent set of data after a corruption.
	Absolute distance independency between production and mirror system due to TCP/IP mirroring with minimum bandwidth requirement.
	Usability of the mirror systems for additional purposes (e.g. creation of database copies, backups, reportings) without any impact on the production systems during normal operations
	Expedient hardware exploitation of mirror systems during normal operation in different, additional function (e.g. DEV or QS systems, additional application server for load balancing)
	Extremely easy operation via a graphical user interface (GUI). Specific administration know-how is not required.
	Hardware independency

DBShadow^® is available as individual product, or as a component of the holistic solution Libelle BusinessShadow^®.
