Guardian Managed Continuous Backup and Recovery.

Liquid Web Guardian is a fully managed robust backup solution that provides continuous data protection and off-site disaster recovery for Linux and Windows Dedicated Servers. Liquid Web Guardian uses replication and synchronization, with point-in-time snap shots, to provide up to the minute data protection of your complete server configuration. In the case of a catastrophic event, our Sonar® Monitoring Team recovers your exact server configuration to minutes before the event occurred.

In other words, Liquid Web Guardian is a Backup solution that continuously captures your entire system configuration to an off-site facility which allows for up to the minute recovery of your information.

Liquid Web Guardian directly reads your hard disk volumes at the sector level, bypassing the file system for the ultimate in performance and recovery. Our disk sector synchronization is performed while the server is online and causes no interruption to I/O requests, even on a busy server. By reading the disk at the lowest possible level, Guardian captures incremental recovery images containing your files and all the required information for complete disaster recovery.

Liquid Web Guardian Features

• Continuous Backups During normal host operation, the Liquid Web Guardian agent keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. Guardian's method is less resource intensive than tradition file-by-file or block-by-block backup methods.
• Incremental Snapshots Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.
• Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is NO need to first partition your drive and install the operating system. Bare-Metal-Recovery greatly increases the speed of complete system recovery from a catastrophic failure.
• High Performance, Low System Impact Sector based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.
• cPanel Administration Plug-in Our Managed Dedicated Server customers who are running linux can take advantage of the Liquid Web Guardian cPanel Plug-in, accessible directly from your cPanel interface for easy management of your backups.
• MySQL Database Backup Plug-in Continuous table level backup of MySql databases is available as an optional plugin.
