Key Advantages of the DocAve Backup and Restore for SharePoint 2010

True Enterprise-level SharePoint Backup

Protect entire SharePoint environments, including all web applications, databases, front-end web elements, and content residing in BLOB stores outside of SQL Server via AvePoint's Storage Optimization solutions - DocAve Connector, Storage Manager, and Archiver. DocAve's full-fidelity backup includes all metadata, securities, version histories, and customized layouts. 

Restore With Minimal Business Interruption and Data Loss

Quickly and easily recover all SharePoint components, databases, indexes, and configurations. Granularly restore – down to the item-level – from DocAve backups, virtualized databases with InstaMountTM technology, or hardware-based snapshots.  Deftly recover critical documents, sites, or subsites directly to the original media. All restores of missing or corrupted content can be processed in a live SharePoint environment during your standard hours of operation.

Satisfy the Most Stringent SLAs

As SharePoint expands into a business-critical platform, organizations must meet increasingly high service level agreement (SLA) requirements, specifically recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). DocAve Backup and Restore satisfies even the most aggressive SLAs by minimizing downtime, data loss, and restore times with unique InstaMount™ technology.  Learn more about how DocAve responds to SLA requirements

Reduce Human Errors by Simplifying Full-system Backup

DocAve Backup and Restore safeguards all SharePoint components regardless of where they reside and reduces complexity in any disaster recovery scenario by providing administrators with a holistic view of entire SharePoint environments, and a simple point-and-click approach to select components that need to be protected. Backups can even be conducted ad-hoc to ensure recently added or modified assets are available in the event of error or disaster.

Streamlined Deployment and Simplified Management

Administration of all SharePoint backup, recovery, and management jobs (such as scheduling, monitoring, alerts, user account management, and software management across multiple SharePoint farms) is centralized in a web-based GUI. Multi-language support enables global SharePoint deployments. In most cases, DocAve Backup and Restore can operate on your existing infrastructure, so no additional hardware is required.  See backup installation components and a sample scenario

Ensure Data Availability and Integrity to Comply with Government Regulations

Full administrative interface, auditing, and granular error and backup process reporting to customizable user groups make SharePoint operations audit compliant. Backup and data retention functions help organizations comply with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
