As any seasoned IT professional knows, disasters happen and business needs change. The StorageCraft®Recovery Environment, a critical component of our backup software, gives you the ability to respond fast: back up systems, restore them to different hardware or to virtual machines, or migrate them to new physical or virtual environments.
Use the StorageCraft Recovery Environment in these scenarios:
- Restoring a system volume that cannot boot on its own
- Backing up a non-bootable system before attempting a restore operation
- Performing a bare metal restore when old hardware is damaged beyond repair
- Recovering an accidentally deleted file or folder
- Restoring an entire data volume
- Migrating to new hardware or a virtual environment
