Q10016 - FAQ: What happens if the Rhinoback facility is destroyed by a disaster?
The Rhinoback servers are located in a very secure data center that was designed to withstand most disasters. The data-center has multiple power sources and its own power generation facilities to backup the utility power. Advanced alarms, environmental control and fire containment and suppression are designed into the facility. The Rhinoback data is stored on redundant disk arrays to protect against common hardware problems.

In addition to all of the protection of primary facility, the Rhinoback system replicates all data to mirror site that is located in a second secure data center that is in a different geographic location. The replication occurs immediately as data arrives at the primary location. The data is replicated on a block by block basis so that when large files are backed up, the secondary data center is receiving the file at the same time. If the primary Rhinoback data-center facility suffers a major disaster, the Rhinoback system will continue to operate from the secondary location.
