Backup and Recovery

Macrium

Disk Imaging, Rapid Recovery, and Deployment

Everyone has a backup. Far fewer have a recovery.

A backup only matters on the day something breaks, and that is exactly when you find out whether it works. Macrium builds a complete image of the machine, not just a copy of the files, so a failed drive, a bad update, or a ransomware event ends with a system that boots and a business that keeps running.

The Real Test

The question is never whether you backed up. It is how fast you are running again

File backup gets your documents back. It does not get the machine back. Rebuilding an operating system, reinstalling applications, and reapplying configuration is the part that actually costs days, and it is the part most businesses never rehearse until the worst possible moment.

Files back, machine still gone

Recovering documents is the easy half. Without an image, someone still has to rebuild the system around them before anybody can work.

Backups nobody has tested

A job that reports success is not proof of a working restore. Plenty of businesses discover the gap during the incident rather than before it.

Backups the attacker also encrypted

Ransomware deliberately targets backup files. If the images sit unprotected on reachable storage, the recovery plan is destroyed alongside everything else.

What It Does

Image the whole system, recover it any way you need to

Macrium is built around one idea: the fastest recovery is the one where nothing has to be rebuilt by hand. Everything below exists to shorten the distance between a failure and a working machine.

Image Guardian ransomware protection

Backup files are actively defended against unauthorized modification, so the images themselves survive an attack that encrypts everything else. Recovery depends entirely on the backups still being intact when you reach for them.

Disk imaging with incremental backups

A full image captures the entire disk, then incrementals record only what changed. That keeps storage requirements modest and backup windows short enough to run often.

Bare metal restore

An empty replacement drive becomes the machine you lost, operating system and applications included, without a manual rebuild.

viBoot instant virtualization

Boot a backup image directly as a Hyper-V machine in minutes, so people keep working while the underlying hardware is repaired or replaced.

ReDeploy to different hardware

Restore onto a machine that is not the same model as the original. When the replacement is whatever could be sourced quickly, this is the difference between recovering today and waiting.

Site Manager and Site Deploy

Central management across every protected machine, plus automated image deployment when many systems need the same build at once.

Recovery Options

Match the response to the failure

Not every incident deserves the same answer. Having several recovery paths from one set of images is what keeps a small problem from turning into a lost week.

1

Someone deleted the wrong thing

Pull individual files and folders straight out of an image without restoring the whole machine.

2

An update broke the system

Roll the machine back to an image taken before the change, with settings and applications exactly as they were.

3

The hardware died

Restore to a bare replacement drive, or to entirely different hardware, and carry on from where the last image was taken.

4

You cannot wait for the repair

Boot the image as a virtual machine immediately, keep working, and move back to physical hardware once it is ready.

What Changes

Downtime measured in hours instead of days

Continuity

The business keeps operating

When a machine can be restored or virtualized the same day, an equipment failure becomes an inconvenience rather than a work stoppage with a cost attached to every hour.

Resilience

Ransomware loses its leverage

The threat only works if the victim has no way back. Protected images that survive the attack turn an extortion demand into a restore job.

Efficiency

Storage that stays reasonable

Incremental imaging keeps the footprint small enough to retain a useful history, so you can go back to before a problem started rather than only to last night.

Backed By NYN Impact

An untested backup is a hope, not a plan

Imaging software will happily run for years reporting success while quietly missing a volume, filling a disk, or writing to storage an attacker can reach. Nobody notices until the restore is attempted for real, under pressure, with the business stopped.

That is why NYN Impact runs it as a managed discipline rather than an install. Schedules, retention, and storage are designed around how long you could actually afford to be down, and the restore gets proven on a normal Tuesday instead of discovered on your worst day.

What NYN Impact handles

Deciding what gets imaged, how often, and how long it is kept
Storing images where ransomware cannot reach or alter them
Watching for failed and silently incomplete jobs
Test restores that prove recovery works before you need it
Performing the recovery itself, at speed, when it counts
Best Fit

Built for systems that cannot sit idle

Businesses with critical workstations

Where a single machine running specialist software holds up an entire operation, and rebuilding it from scratch would take days nobody has.

Regulated and audited organizations

Where retention, encryption, and demonstrable recovery capability are requirements you are expected to evidence rather than describe.

Anyone facing ransomware risk

Which is effectively everyone. Clean, protected images are the single control that most reliably turns an extortion event into a recovery exercise.

In Short

Recovery that actually recovers

Macrium images the entire system rather than copying files, then offers several ways back from one set of images: individual file recovery, rollback to a point before a bad change, bare metal restore onto new or dissimilar hardware, and instant virtualization while repairs happen. Image Guardian defends the backups themselves against ransomware, and AES 256-bit encryption protects them at rest, so the recovery plan is still there on the day it is needed.
