There have been many well publicized events where a production database was lost, or in some way corrupted. I’ve lived through one such event myself. When that happens, you usually go to a backup, and typically run into two problems:
1) Point in time back ups can be hours old.
2) More importantly, “backups” are useless, it’s the “restores” that are valuable. And very few organizations have a well practiced muscle memory for restoring from a backup.
A turn key restore solution, with a per second granularity can both significantly decrease the loss window, and recovery time. Hope nobody gets to use it, but when you have, it can be a difference between a big and a small outage.
