Business Continuity Through Cloud Replication

Cloud Replication allows restoration of data to a virtualized server. Utilizing TurnKey Vaults on premise cloud infrastructure, data can be made available instantly, then accessed remotely from anywhere in the world via our redundant 10 Gigabit fiber connections. This removes the bottleneck of local internet service providers bandwidth availability, and saves potentially hours of business critical time waiting for your systems to be back in working order.

Should a disaster occur in which your infrastructure is no longer available or accessible to be restored, the need to purchase new hardware can be completely eliminated. Utilizing our existing cloud infrastructure you can be back online in minutes, not days. Employees can continue their work from home, remotely accessing images of their old workstations running live in the cloud, ensuring your business does not skip a beat.

This type of business continuity is truly invaluable, industry exclusive, and available 24/7/365.

Is TurnKey Vault Secure?

All backups are stored using one-way military-grade AES encryption unique to each device. You are prompted to generate this key upon provisioning and data cannot be accessed or restored without it. This key is NOT stored by us, no one will ever have access to your data but you. Our cloud based backup environment is kept within our privately held SSAE16 Type II GREEN datacenter, with locked cabinets, CCTV security systems and 24/7/365 on site staff. Our servers are PCI compliant, and HIPPA compatible.

How Do I Backup Data?

Click the "Download Agent" link in your welcome email and choose your encryption key. This agent will run locally within your system and allow you to configure your fully customizable backup schedule, including alerts, excluded files/folders if needed, pre or post actions and any external sources such as mapped drives, VMWare® or Hyper-V® data stores, and databases such as Oracle, MSSQL, and MySQL. Your data is automatically encrypted, compressed and undergoes a de-duplication process on its way to our secure datacenter.

How Do I Restore Data?

There are many different ways to restore your data. Starting with a simple file or folder level recovery, to the original or alternate location. Or you can mount a backup as a virtual drive and browse and copy/paste data onto your local drive. Servers can also be converted into virtual drives to be used in VMWare or Hypver-V. Bare metal restore allows a full system restore onto to your original hardware or directly into our cloud-hosted environment within our datacenter and accessed remotely.

What Is Cloud Replication?

TurnKey Vault allows your physical or virtual servers to be restored into a virtual environment. This can be a local virtual environment, or hosted environment with any provider. Both VMWare and Hyper-V formats are supported however these formats can be converted if required, to Xen or a number of other virtualization platforms. Within just minutes, your backups can be converted into fully functioning networked running servers or desktops. This allows mission critical applications to remain functional and accessible remotely in case of a disaster without needing to replace physical hardware, or provide infrastructure like power or internet in the event they are unavailable. Your business will never skip a beat, and you will never be without your important files. Server 2008, Server 2012, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 are required to take full advantage of live cloud replication.

What Operating Systems Are Supported?

Backups also function on Mac OS X, and any 32 or 64bit Linux operating system such as Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Slackware, CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, and Gentoo. Virtualized operating systems are supported as well.

How Much Space Do I Need To Purchase?

TurnKey Vault offers advanced features to control your data storage, such as automatic compression and de-duplication. This means 40 GB of data, may not actually consume 40 GB of storage space in the cloud. You may save up to 80% of your backed up storage vs real world storage. The actual conversion ratio will vary depending on the number, size, and types of files being backed up. The software also allows for excluded files or folders, so for example if local backups are being generated you can avoid backing up your local backups to the cloud to save on space. Also keep in mind schedule retention allows for multiple restore points. The more restore points you make available, the more storage space you will consume as differential data is stored between versions.

With TurnKey Vault, never worry about quota issues or failed backups. Your storage tier will be increased as needed for your convenience to ensure continued successful backups. Alternatively you can upgrade to the next storage tier at any time.

What is Bare Metal Restore?

Bare Metal Restore or BMR allows a full system restoration in the event of a disaster. Typically this would be onto a new fresh empty hard drive. This type of restore includes boot records, registry items, installed programs, and full operating systems. In the event a BMR is needed, simply download the required boot media here, burn the ISO to a CD, and follow the on screen steps to enter your device name, password, and encryption key. Once the data is downloaded from the cloud to your system, simply reboot and you'll be back in business.

What is a Dedicated Standby Cloud Environment?

Live Cloud Replication is a feature available to all customers, however, many lack the technological expertise or virtual infrastructure to facilitate the virtualization of systems in the event of an emergency. In order to ensure all of our customers have the ability to take advantage of this industry leading technology, we offer an optional dedicated virtual environment. This allows for a fully functioning cloud environment, hosted by TurnKey Internet, to be on stand by 24/7/365. With one phone call or email, our staff can restore your servers and desktops into this dedicated cloud environment, which can be accessed by you and your staff remotely anywhere in the world. Unless otherwise specified, cloud servers are QuadCore CPU with 4 GB RAM. Disk space will be allocated in accordance with the amount of storage space required to restore the server.

What is a Backup Seed?

When there is a large amount of data to be backed up, it’s possible a local network connection may not be able to sustain a high enough data ransfer rate for the backup to complete within a reasonable amount of time. A backup seed is taken using a local storage device, such as a USB hard disk. This USB drive is then delivered to the TurnKey Vault data center and the data is transferred to the cloud directly from your external storage device.

Subsequent backups from the source device can be completed much quicker than without a seed, because only new or changed files are backed up once the seed is loaded into the cloud. These backup seeds require approval and coordination with the TurnKey Vault staff. There is a processing and labor charge of $99 per device per seed to transfer.

In most cases backup seeds are not needed, as local network connections can typically sustain in upwards of 10 MB/s of transfer rates which is suitable for most backup sizes. Check with your internet service provider if you are unsure of your bandwidth capabilities.

What is the Backup Manager?

The Backup Manager is the agent which is installed inside each device to be backed up. This runs a local web interface that interfaces with the backup software, and the TurnKey Vault cloud, to facilitate the backup and restoration of data, along with the configuration of scheduled policies, and many other device specific settings. The Backup Manager is compatible with many operating systems, including Mac, Linux, and Windows desktop and server editions.

What is the Cloud Management Console?

Also known as CMC, the Cloud Management Console is the administrative interface used to centrally manage all of your devices. The software reports back successes or failures per device, along with cloud storage usage statistics. You can add new, modify, or remove devices using this application. The CMC is also used for reseller features such as branding and product management. The CMC can only be ran from a Windows/Mac system or server.
