One of the most powerful features that any modern-day backup solution must have is that of being able to create a Full Synthetic Backup, this is by far one of the biggest determiners as to whether or not aggressive sub-15-minute RPO’s and RTO’s can be met. BDRSuite is one solution that includes this powerful feature. But before we get into what it can do for your business, let’s answer the question “What is it?”

What is a Full Synthetic Backup?

A Full Synthetic Backup starts with a full backup initially, capturing the entire dataset. Subsequent backups then store only the changes or modifications made to the data since the last backup.

However, instead of requiring the presence of the original full backup and all subsequent incremental backups for restoration, a Full Synthetic Backup independently creates a synthesised full backup by merging the original full backup with the incremental changes. This synthetic backup is a standalone, complete representation of the data at a specific point in time.

So instead of repeatedly copying all data during each backup, BDRSuite intelligently synthesises a comprehensive backup by merging the full backup with subsequent incremental backups.

This not only optimises storage efficiency but also ensures that the backup process is completed swiftly, minimising the risk of data loss.

Use Cases

So, what scenarios does a Full Synthetic Backup really add value?

1. Large Datasets: If your organisation deals with substantial datasets that traditionally require significant time and storage for backups, BDRSuite‘s Full Synthetic Backup feature is a game-changer. It efficiently handles large volumes of data without compromising on speed or storage space.
2. Frequent Backups: In environments where regular backups are crucial, the speed and efficiency of this feature shine. Whether you’re dealing with constant updates, transactional data, or rapidly changing information, this approach ensures that your backups are up-to-date without straining your resources.
3. Optimising Resources: For those looking to optimise storage resources (and subsequent costs) and reduce the burden on network bandwidth, Using a Full Synthetic Backup to protect your data will strike a balance between resource optimisation and data resilience.

In closing:

The innovative technology behind Full Synthetic Backups has emerged as a transformative solution for numerous organisations looking to save on storage costs and increase backup speeds.

Its effectiveness, rapidity, and resource optimisation render it an attractive option for any business committed to securing its vital data in the swiftly evolving digital landscape of today.

For those seeking a reliable built-in backup solution, BDRSuite unquestionably stands out as a top choice with its exemplary implementation of this feature.
