  • Introduction

    With the increasing amounts of data organizations need to manage, there is an unprecedented demand to have reliable solutions for data recovery. Classically, organizations have dedicated staff and infrastructure to handle data recovery in-house.

    With the move to the cloud, there is an increasing push to have cloud-based recovery solutions. Cloud-based recovery solutions are appealing because they reduce the cap-ex (capital expenditure) costs required for the hardware, and staff needed to manage the operations to manage the data. Instead, cloud solutions typically end up being accounted as variable (which is variable operating expenses), which are directly proportional to the level of consumption of the services.

    The Recovery Services offering from Windows Azure include Hyper-V Recovery Manager, which provides the following benefits:
    • Protection of private cloud including recovery â€" Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager supports orchestration of replication and recovery of System Center 2012 cloud instances at remote locations.
    • Automated protection â€" Virtual Machines can be automatically replicated asynchronously at the remote location which is facilitated by Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager.
    • Ongoing monitoring â€" Hyper-V Recovery Manager can monitor the cloud instances continuously to verify that the cloud instances are healthy and running.
    • Coordinated Recovery â€" Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager can help speedy recovery of cloud instances in an orchestrated fashion to restore service quickly.

    Pricing of Hyper-V Recovery Manager

    Hyper-V Recovery Manager launched very recently (on Jan 16, 2014). At the time of publishing this article, the regular pricing was $16 per month per virtual machine protected. Early birds can get it at a 50% discount if they sign up before Feb 28, 2014.

    Availability

    Hyper-V Recovery Manager is currently available in 6 locations:

    • US West
    • US East
    • Europe West
    • Europe North
    • Asia Pacific East
    • Asia Pacific Southeast

    Hands On â€" Backing up Windows Server to Windows Azure

    Let’s have a hands on tutorial that demonstrates how to configure backup of Windows Server.

    One of the prerequisites for this is to ensure you have Windows Azure Backup feature enabled on your Windows Azure account.

    One of the first tasks to enable backup is to create a backup vault in the location where the data backup is going to be stored.

    Note that to register the server with backup vault, an X.509 V3 certificate,  which should have a key length of atleast 2048 bits is needed and needs to reside in the Personal certificates store of your computer.

    We need to install this certificate (and it should contain its private key).

    You would need the Windows SDK installed to have the makecert.exe tool, which is used to create local certificates.

    Run makecert.exe with administrative privileges and pass it the following arguments:

    C:temp> "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv7.1ABinx64makecert.exe"  -r -pe -n CN=CertificateName -ss my -sr localmachine -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2  -len 2048 -e 01/01/2016 myCertificate.cer  Succeeded

    The above command will create a certificate locally called myCertificate.cer

    Next, we need to create the vault. We need to go to https://manage.windowsazure.com

    Once logged in, Click Recovery Services, and then click New -> Backup.

    Recover Services > New Backup
    Recover Services > New Backup

    Recovery Services > Backup Vault
    Recovery Services > Backup Vault

    Recovery Services > Backup Vault > Quick Create
    Recovery Services > Backup Vault > Quick Create

    Give it a friendly name and click “Create vault”

    Create Vault
    Create Vault

    It will take a few minutes to complete the creation of the vault. Once it is completed, click on the name of the vault.

    Creation of the Vault
    Creation of the Vault

    Next, click “Manage Certificate” link at the bottom of the frame.

    Manage Certificate
    Manage Certificate

    Select the certificate file you just created, and upload it.

    Upload Certificate
    Upload Certificate

    Next, we need to download the agent for the server. The link to download the agent is shown below (in selected text). You have a choice to download from one of two agents.

    Link to the Download Agent
    Link to the Download Agent

    The next step involves installing the agent software. Once the agent is installed, we can use the appropriate interface to configure server backup (choice between Windows Server Essentials Dashboard or MMC console plugin called System Center Data Protection Manager).

    You can see what items are you protecting by navigating to the Management Portal’s Protected item tab (shown below).

    Protected Items
    Protected Items

    You can also see your registered servers by navigating to the “Servers” tab.

    Servers Tab
    Servers Tab

    You need to use the agent to establish the data you want to protect one time and then you can use the management portal to see how the Recovery Services are protecting your data.

    Summary

    In this article, we learned the basics of Windows Azure Recovery Services. I hope you have found this information useful.

    eRepair Tools Presents a New Tool for Outlook Recovery with Improved Functionality and an Intuitive UI

    Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2014

    eRepair Tools, a company known for its unquestionable expertise in data recovery and file repair technologies, and the author of a large and growing family of data recovery tools for various applications, introduces its new member â€" a completely renewed and largely improved eRepair Outlook. http://www.erepairoutlook.com/

    This Outlook recovery tool sets new performance and quality standards for programs of this type and offers an unparalleled combination of accessibility, ease of use and efficiency of data recovery. The new engine of eRepair Outlook developed by eRepair Tools experts takes advantage of cutting-edge algorithms and latest data repair technologies to deliver excellent results in the most serious cases. http://www.erepairoutlook.com/instruction/

    Since the program is intended for a very broad audience encompassing home users and corporate network administrators, its interface was simplified to the maximum to make it equally accessible for users with various skill levels.

    Technology Breakthrough Cuts Industry's Data Recovery Time on Encrypted Hard Drives from Days to Hours

    MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

    Software engineers at data recovery leader Kroll Ontrack have developed a new technology that can drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to recover encrypted hard drives with a logical or physical failure â€" a key development in light of the growing number of cyber threats that are driving the adoption of encrypted drives. The company’s new automated decryption technology allows engineers to target only areas of the hard drive that have been used while also automating the decryption process â€" improving the typical industry recovery turn time dramatically.

    A typical recovery project involving an encrypted drive can take up to five days to complete using traditional solutions. CA Technologies estimates IT downtime costs North American companies $26.5 billion per year, at an average cost of $42,000 per hour according to Gartner, Inc.

    “Simply put, the longer a company is without its data, the more money it loses,” said Jeff Pederson, manager of data recovery operations, Kroll Ontrack. “We know our new ‘decryption-on-the-fly’ technology represents a true breakthrough for the data recovery industry because it can make a significant impact on a company’s ability to rebound from an IT outage or other potentially catastrophic events with minimal damage to the business.”

    As with all encrypted drives, Kroll Ontrack works with customers to securely procure their network credentials. The technology then uses proprietary imaging software to target areas of the drive with user data rather than imaging the entire drive. It then uses automation technology to decrypt those areas, allowing Kroll Ontrack to begin the recovery process earlier and complete it faster. This entire process can cut turnaround time from days to hours.

    The number of encrypted hard drives in use has steadily risen alongside an increase in cyber security threats that can expose critical personal and business information. Kroll Ontrack, for example, has seen the amount of recovery projects that involve encrypted hard drives more than double since 2009.

    Venyu Takes Cloud Leadership to New Heights in 2013

    BATON ROUGE, LA--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2014) - Further elevating its leadership in business continuity, cloud-based virtualization, and battle-tested data recovery, Venyu today announced a strong finish to FY2013. The notable results underscore the company's value as a proven leader in cloud-based services as well as its ability to cost-effectively secure and protect mission-critical data.

    In September, Venyu announced its acquisition by EATEL, a leading regional telecommunications service provider. The agreement provides access to new growth opportunities and resources, while strengthening complementary service lines with integrated business solutions. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of EATEL, Venyu is now focused on accelerating company growth beyond its regional service areas and into new markets.

    The company also broke ground on its data center expansion in Baton Rouge, LA in 2013. The new data center will open in April 2014. Highlighting an ability to provide quality, secure cloud-based services, the data center is designed to guarantee the highest levels of security, uptime, connectivity, and redundancy. The footprint features fully redundant power distribution, climate control, and fire suppression -- with an enhanced emphasis on power density and management. 

    "Whether we're offering cloud hosting, backup, or colocation, companies rely on Venyu as a strategic business partner to help protect their digital assets and cost-effectively augment their IT services," said Scott Thompson, CEO of Venyu. "As the demand for more value-added cloud services continues to increase, we will meet these challenges by expanding our offerings with leading applications supported by the industry's best customer service and support teams."

    Additionally, Venyu's agreement with Alert Logic now provides access to superior data protection through full integration of intrusion detection and log management. The partnership is the foundation for Venyu's Web Security Manager (WSM) -- an enhanced layer of security, blocking suspicious traffic at the firewall and appliance level, and protecting web servers from attack without compromising availability.

    Venyu also partnered with CMA Technology Solutions in an effort to support joint customers using IBM System i Power Servers. With the CMA Series I technology infrastructure -- a new resource placing IBM servers within Venyu's data centers -- legacy users can now harness Venyu's RestartIT® cloud-based backup and recovery services.

    Spotlighting several 2013 successes, Venyu partnered with Coretelligent to bring data backup services to venture capital investment firms in New England and to California's Bay area and provided Baton Rouge-based Woman's Hospital -- one of the nation's first specialty hospitals recognized for superior care of women and infants -- with disaster recovery services. 

    Rounding out the year, the Louisiana-based business collected high marks from the industry with a range of accolades, including:

    DriveSavers Digital Forensics Team Delivers Key Evidence in Murder Conviction

    NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

    DriveSavers Data Recovery played a crucial role in assisting to bring a murder suspect to justice in a Texas case where forensic evidence proved the killer lured the teenage victim to her death with deceiving text and social media messages.

    Experts at recovering valuable data for more than 27 years, DriveSavers offers Digital Forensics and Electronic Discovery (eDiscovery) as legally defensible data recovery services that can be used to aid the legal community. The company’s certified computer forensic specialists are able to quickly and efficiently process information and recover electronically stored information (ESI).

    In November 2013, two DriveSavers digital forensic investigators testified in the prosecution of Franklin Davis, who was charged with the murder of 16-year-old Shania Gray. The data that DriveSavers was able to recover from Gray’s destroyed iPhone was vital to convict Davis, who is now facing the death penalty.

    Davis, who had already been charged for sexually assaulting Gray, lured Shaniaâ€"his family’s babysitterâ€"to a meeting in Carrollton, Texas, where he killed her to prevent her from testifying. Gray received text and social media messages from Davis, who was posing as a private investigator for the rape trial.

    The iPhone, which was discovered in a pond near the victim’s body, was destroyed to the point where a federal government forensic lab was unable to retrieve the necessary information for prosecution.

    The phone was shipped to DriveSavers for a secondary attempt at retrieving the critical data. The company was able to perform a complete recovery of the iPhone’s data that was key in the outcome of Davis’s murder trial.

    DriveSavers is able to recover ESI from nearly any physically damaged or mechanically failed device including computers, PDA’s, cell phones, USB Flash Drives, digital camera cards, hard drives, RAIDs and enterprise level servers.

    Members of DriveSavers’ eDiscovery/Digital Forensics Department will be at Legal Tech New York 2014, February 4 - 6, at The Hilton New York Hotel, booth #2500, to discuss this and other company news.
