File and directory restorations required some of the same multilevel configuration, and even though we had the option of restoring files to another machine on our network, EVault doesn't offer any Web-based monitoring, restoration or backup-management options. So much for restoring files in our pajamas. System-level restorations were available from a base OS install, once we had installed and properly configured a new agent.
For sampling incremental backups, EVault offers two proprietary tools: QuickFile Sampling, which does a fast scan to look for files that have changed since the last backup; and DeltaPro, which scans the file in 4-KB blocks and communicates only blocks that have changed to a historically indexed Storage Pool on the remote server.
The Protect agent supports plug-ins that enable hot-backup capabilities for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and Oracle. Open-file support for system files and other applications is possible using St. Bernard's Open File Manager.
A Protect account for our test server cost $156 per month for up to 5 GB of data, based on a 24-generation retention policy. EVault pointed out that our small test server would likely be assigned to an entry-level SMB service at $50 per month that supports only seven generations of restoration. EVault has recently announced a number of services aimed at customers with records requiring special handling for long-term archiving, life-cycle management, legal compliance and business continuity purposes.

AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
