About Quest® NetVault®

Quest NetVault (NetVault) increases confidence in the recoverability of critical file system data and eliminates the need for writing complex backup and recovery scripts. Through an intuitive user interface and automated workflow process, the plug-in offers a centralized console to set up, configure, and create flexible backup policies that account for multiple recovery scenarios. Support for Full, Incremental, and Differential Backups allows you to choose a preferred backup strategy. The plug-in minimizes downtime by allowing you to restore full volumes, individual partitions, or individual directories and files quickly and reliably with minimal interaction. Through automatic integration with a wide range of backup devices, you can be confident that your data is protected and safely stored off-site to meet your disaster recovery and business continuity goals.

 
* 
NOTE: The NetVault is packaged with the NetVault software and automatically installed on the respective machines when you install the NetVault Server or Client software.
Key benefits
•
Increases confidence and reduces risks for critical data: The NetVault provides total protection to your NetVault Server and Clients without requiring you to write complex backup scripts. The plug-in allows Full, Incremental, and Differential Backups of file system data, and additionally supports snapshot-based point‑in‑time consistent backups and System State Backups on Windows-based systems. By relying on the NetVault to implement your backup policies, you can be confident that your data is protected, and you are able to recover exactly what you need in the unfortunate event of a failure.
•
Speeds up restores and reduces downtime: With the NetVault, backup administrators are no longer required to write scripts or run restore commands to recover lost data. The point‑and‑click feature reduces manual steps and errors during data recovery, and flexible recovery options allow you to recover full volumes or individual files to the same or alternate location.
•
Ensure business continuity with automatic integration of backup devices: The NetVault supports a wide-range of disk-based devices, tape-based devices, and physical libraries and standalone drives. Off-site storage to tapes and disks gives you the confidence that your data is protected for disaster recovery purposes. With the NetVault, the administrators need not be present 24x7. Even less-experienced administrators can initiate restores with the certainty that they are performed correctly and quickly, thus reducing downtime and improving business continuity.
