PEGASUS OPERA - Introducing Snapshot to Business Cloud

PEGASUS OPERA INTRODUCES NEW FEATURE CALLED - SNAPSHOT 


What is Pegasus Business Cloud?

Pegasus Business Cloud is used by many of our customers to host their Pegasus products in a Cloud-based environment. The market is gradually moving from “on-premise” installations of ERP systems to those that are “Hosted” in the cloud. This is because customers can save on the expense involved in buying a server/network and running their ERP systems on such an infrastructure. This is actively explored when existing infrastructure comes to the end of its natural life cycle and decisions need to be made about its replacement. Pegasus Business Cloud has been addressing this opportunity since 2015 by hosting both Opera Pegasus CIS 5 in the cloud where Pegasus can offer a cloud option to our customers.

Introducing Snapshot

One of the advantages of using Pegasus Business Cloud is that you can take advantage of a premium backup service called Snapshot. This is an add-on service that customers can purchase to complement our standard backup-hosted services. Snapshots are taken of your data on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis and then retained to provide rolling recovery points from which we can restore your data. These ‘point-in-time’ copies of your data are stored on our SAN (Storage Area Network) giving the ability to provide multiple recovery / restore points to complement the standard daily backup routines and those via the Scheduler Opera 3 back-up utility. The standard snapshot frequency and retention periods are:

A backup is essentially a point-in-time ‘Snapshot’ copy of your hosted virtual server, including all applications and data, taken at defined intervals and kept separately from your live system. These back-ups provide restore points in the event of loss or corruption to all or part of your working copy. We can restore individual files or folders as well as a complete server restore.

Rolling restore points means the most recent snapshot backup replaces the oldest in each sequence.

There are 80 active rolling back-ups made up of hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, there are no storage limits attached to this service. 

Next steps

  This new search feature in Edge is a revolution Microsoft’s at it again, presenting us with new features week after week. This time it’s all about making our online searches smarter and more efficient in the Edge browser. If you’ve been on the fence about switching to it, this might just be the push you need.   Edge has a cool new feature, as revealed by Mikhail Parakhin, CEO of Advertising and Web Services at Microsoft. Imagine this: you’re searching for something important for your business – maybe it’s market research or the latest trends in your industry.

We’re being promised a faster and easier way to work. And we all could use a bit of that, couldn’t we? The new Teams is like the superhero of apps for Windows and Mac.
