AssuredCopy
AssuredCopy™ delivers:
Data Protection
• Protect against accidental or malicious data loss or
corruption
• Additional protection against complete RAID group
or volume disk failure
Performance
• Access production data without impacting
production volume performance as access is to an
independent set of data blocks (vs. shared data
blocks as is the case with snapshots)
Full Volume Backup
• Provide a complete volume copy then backup to
tape independent of the source volume,
eliminating any performance impact on production
applications
Application Support
• By creating an identical but independent copy,
applications such as data mining and decision
support systems can access production data without
impacting the data integrity or access performance
of production applications
Rapid Application Development Support
• Mount a volume copy to a different server, allowing
application development teams to use production
data without effecting production data or impacting
the production application - this supports rapid
application development strategies
Regulatory Compliance Support
• Data protection is mandatory, and volume copy is
one of many tools in the arsenal to adequately
protect data and recover from data loss or
corruption as mandated by an increasing number of
government and industry regulations.

AssuredCopy™ - Providing a Foundation for Enterprise Business Continuity and Application Support
Like snapshots, volume copies can be used to protect against the accidental or malicious corruption or loss data. Whole
volumes, folder or individual files can be quickly restored from the volume copy. AssuredCopy provides additional protection
against complete volume or RAID group loss. Should a double disk fault occur in a RAID 5 set, the source data remains
protected; this would not be the case with snapshots.
Volume copies can be mounted to other application hosts to provide production data support for backup, rapid development and
test, data mining, decision support and other applications without putting production data at risk or impacting application
performance because access is to an independent data set.
AssuredCopy can have a significant impact on your business both operationally and financially.
• Minimizes data loss
• Rapid volume, folder or file restoration
• Production copies for application support
• Eliminates production application bottlenecks
