FalconStor Backup and Baremetal Recovery

Shorten System Recovery From A Boot Disk on your LAN

The IPStor Backup and Baremetal Recovery feature from FalconStor expedites recovery to boot disk, by saving boot disk images on your SAN file system. This speeds your systems recovery times from hours to minutes when systems go down due to hardware or software malfunctions, virus attacks, or just human errors.
