Rounding out the Qbisys Data Protection Software Suite is the Qbisys Duplication package. Ensuring data is always available and never itself a potential single-point-of-failure is the goal of the Qbisys Duplication package.

Any data sent to the Qbisys Backup server is qualified to be a replication target for the Qbisys Duplicator which will take the data and make any number of a copies of that data in one or several different physical locations. While data security is a top priority and limiting external access to an organization's data is a valid concern, not being able to access the data at all is even more so! By replicating data to several locations, the likelihood of data disappearing or becoming inaccessible is minimized. Up to now, high infrastructure costs were the main reasons behind companies not being able to afford the luxury of having data replicated across a number of mediums and locations. However, as hard disk drive and other hardware prices continue to drop, data replication and distribution becomes ever more popular among IT organizations.

Setup as part of the Qbisys Backup server, the Duplicator can automatically copy any volume - e.g., virtual tape volume or online disk volume - from one location to another based on a series of conditions set by the administrator. For example, volume A could be copied daily from the QVB server to another QVB server's empty disk space over the WAN, and then backed up to a remote tape device for off-site storage. In another case, volume B might be a virtual tape backup containing backups of snapshots. In such a case, it might be advantageous to keep multiple copies of those snapshots for point-in-time restores to remote offices that want to share copies of that data. Similar to to snapshotting, the administrator can command Qbisys Duplicator to automatically detect and copy any changes made to the original volume B, making certain that duplicate volumes are kept to the highest level of replication possible.

The Qbisys Duplicator is another simple, easy-to-use, HTML-based utility that can extend the overall level of data protection and availability of an orginzation's data. The Qbisys Unified Architecture allows administrators to chose from a myriad of tools to build his/her own 'right-sized' data protection scheme.
