CaminoSoft Executive Summary CaminoSoft is dedicated to providing solutions that ensure high availability, disaster recovery and data reliability. This paper details CaminoSoft's vision for a disaster recovery solution that provides electronic protection of critical data at a remote location. The solution that provides this remote data protection is CaminoSoft's OFFSite Archive? for NetWare. OFFSite Archive is a server application that can operate in conjunction with CaminoSoft's StandbyServer? for NetWare or in a stand-alone configuration (primary server to remote data vault machine). Preservation and quick restoration of critical data are some of the benefits of OFFSite Archive. By maintaining a copy of critical data in a remote location, OFFSite Archive reduces the chances of data loss that could result from natural disasters, system threats, electrical outages, hardware faults, and software crashes. With OFFSite Archive, the remote data vault machine can be brought up in the remote location as the primary server or it can be moved to another location to service the needs of users. The software provides organizations with the needed flexibility and security as organization data contingency plans are implemented. No proprietary disk systems, monitoring devices, or special operating system software is required. OFFSite Archive is designed to function over slower, less-expensive WAN or Internet connections. OFFSite Archive and the StandbyServer family of products are excellent network-based solutions for offsite disaster-recovery and local high-availability protection. They leverage industry-standard hardware and the NetWare operating system to extend electronic data vaulting to the general networking market place. OFFSite Archive for NetWare offers: .

Increasingly, organizations rely on their networking services and data integrity to such an extent that these are fundamental to business survival. If the business suffers a complete loss of data, it may not be able to survive. Recovery from just a single day's loss may require an immense amount of time and effort.
