How does Autonomic Healing ensure successful backups and restores?
Autonomic Healing serves as a network immune system, constantly scanning all backup data for corrupted or otherwise 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 of human intervention. When Autonomic Healing finds a problematic file that it can’t fix at the offsite location, it automatically triggers the system’s software at the primary site to re-synchronize and resend any corrupted files during the next scheduled backup. Autonomic Healing runs in the background, analyzing, repairing and replacing files as required – if there are any additional needs that it can’t handle, the software quickly notifies the IT backup administrators to take manual action.
