The purpose of the ‘RECOVER for i’ product is to reduce your data loss to a few minutes, in case of a “data incident” on your Database.
The objectives are:
To recover your Data, your Files and your Database at the status they were 5 minutes
– before a disaster or a disk crash
– before a “data incident”.
A “data incident” might be caused by many events:
– inadvertent or malicious deletion of tables,
– data errors because of a hidden bug,
– loss of integrity or corruption of the database,
– malware/cryptovirus spoils
No more stress in case of corruption, damaged file, table deletion, crash, crypovirus …
RECOVER for i is a “Data-driven” product
A single objective: REDUCE DATA LOSS TO A MINIMUM (= improve the RPO)
Manage automatically the RECOVERY of your Data.
‘RECOVER for i’ can be combined with ‘FLASH for i’.
Thus, instead to apply the data changes (from the Journals) on the restored Database, ‘RECOVER for i’ will apply them on the last Database clone generated with a Flashcopy/Snapshot of the IBM i Production partition, thanks to ‘FLASH for i’ and to External storage units (SVC, Storwize, DS8xx, EMC vMax, etc…).
This “duo” will considerably improves the restart time (RTO) and the granularity of data recovery (possible unit recovery of each table or library).
At this stage all the modifications made on the database are externalized from the ‘Prod’ server and reusable.
