Configuration options
OpenText Server Backup gives you a single all-in-one solution that covers almost every data protection and recovery need. To protect your entire server environment, you don’t need to integrate or manage multiple solutions.
With your solution, you can choose from various configuration options:
Appliances
You can pair a OpenText appliance with any physical and/or virtual server to centralize data backup and recovery throughout your organization, as well as remote and branch-office locations.
Local appliances
Local appliances allow for rapid local restore, rapid VM recovery and when bundled with another OpenText product, local failover. Appliances can be purchased world-wide. By owning the appliance, you can use it as a satellite in a replication chain, or as an active or passive vault.
Hardware as a service (HWaaS)
In North America, Australia, and New Zealand you can get all the benefits of an appliance with a subscription. It covers both the hardware and software needed to replicate your servers to OpenText’s cloud.
Virtual Machines
OpenText Server Backup gives you an easy and affordable way to back up and recover virtual machines, physical servers and critical legacy systems for businesses of all sizes. This bundle combines the long-term protection of local and cloud backup with the speed of local failover for key systems in the event of an outage.
How it works
Efficient backups
With OpenText Server Backup, data is replicated from physical or virtual servers to the backup server only once. After the full backup completes, only incremental backups are needed. You also can set up forever-incremental backups with flexible retention options for up to seven years.
Rapid VM restore
Your business can rapidly recover a failed VM or Hyper-V to a fully functional state in as little as two minutes. When convenient, you can migrate the recovered VM back to permanent storage. You also can run continuous backups of the restored VM to make sure it's protected. Also, verify backups by easily testing the VM in minutes.
Flexible recovery
When a server has an outage, you can restore the full server (including the OS, data and applications) or you can perform a granular recovery of files, folders and application data.
Optional cloud failover
If your local data center becomes unavailable, OpenText Server Backup offers push-button cloud failover to avoid costly downtime. Your critical systems are securely replicated from the primary environment to the cloud, providing an up-to-date failover copy.

Server Backup FAQ
What is server cloud backup?
What is server cloud backup?
Server cloud backup replicates critical business systems from the primary environment to the cloud, providing an up-to-date secondary copy. This helps organization protect against ransomware, human error, hardware failures, and natural disasters as a secondary copy is readily available and may be accessed from anywhere, even if the local data center is unavailable.
What is the best way to backup a server?
What is the best way to backup a server?
The best backup is the one that optimally meets your business needs. There are many options to securely backup and quickly restore backup files, folders, and application data. For example, OpenText offers hourly and forever incremental backups with flexible retention options, cloud failover for critical systems, immutable backup ‘safesets’ for extra protection, or restore full servers with bare metal restore. Business should choose a straightforward and reliable backup and recovery solution that securely preserves data confidentiality and integrity while minimizing downtime for their day-to-day operations.
Is the cloud considered offsite backup?
Is the cloud considered offsite backup?
Yes, cloud backups are commonly used for offsite backup. For an effective backup strategy, businesses should follow a 3-2-1 backup strategy.
- Have 3 copies of your data
- On 2 different types of media
- With 1 copy off-site
Cloud backup is a great way to store a backup copy off-site as it can shorten recovery time and provide higher system availability at a lower cost over traditional off-site means, such as tape.
