Data Self-Healing

The Autonomic Healing function guarantees data integrity with zero corruption for successful restores. The Autonomic Healing runs seamlessly in the background, constantly scanning for corrupted or problematic files. This can include files with data corruption or logical inconsistencies caused by third-party technologies (such as faulty RAID controllers, file systems, operating systems, disk subsystems, network packet loss, etc.). As Autonomic Healing checks backup files, it automatically corrects file and directory ID duplications, without the need for human intervention. When Autonomic Healing finds a problematic file that it cannot fix at the central-site location, it automatically triggers the software at the remote site to re-synchronize and resend any corrupted files during the next scheduled backup—again, without human intervention.

Self-Healing Highlights:

• Continuous Background File Scan
• Performs Logical Validation of File Consistency
• Detection Triggers Immediate Corrective Action Including
  • Quarantining of File
  • Immediate notification via SNMP, pager, email
  • Forced synchronization with DS-Client, triggering file re-send
  • Ensure data is recoverable before you need to restore it
  • Priority throttling so no interference with backup/restores
  • Resist and recover from corruptions due to hardware or OS failures
