First Cloud Backup Recovery Is On Record

Imagine a bustling day at Sells More Chevy of New York, where cars fly off the lot like hotcakes. But amidst the automotive fervor, an unforeseen glitch emerged – the DMS server, the digital heartbeat of the dealership, was ambushed by a particularly nasty virus.

In the symphony of technology and tires, such disruptions are akin to a sudden puncture on a racetrack.

But the cloud came to the rescue with a silver lining as shiny as our chrome-accented grille. The first cloud backup recovery at AutosoftDMS swooped in to salvage the day, allowing Sells More Chevy to keep its wheels spinning and customers grinning.

The story you are about to read is true. The dealership name has been changed to protect the innocent (we’re sure they’d rather forget the near catastrophe—even though the disaster recovery took less than three hours, thanks to Cloud Backup!)

Now, let’s pause and ponder the broader significance of this event. In an era where data steers the wheel of modern business operations, disaster recovery, and cloud backup have emerged as the unsung heroes of the digital realm.

As experts in the automotive software arena, we understand data’s pivotal role in keeping the commerce engine running smoothly. In this blog, we’ve twists and turns of this extraordinary cloud-powered recovery, unveiling the mechanics behind its success.

Here’s the low down on what could have been a serious dealership slowdown.

The Bad News

It was a typical Friday at Sellsmore Chevy of New York. Like all good disasters, it struck just “after hours” at approximately 6:10 p.m. Other DMS support centers would likely have been closed—but not Autosoft’s!

The call came in. A computer at the Sellsmore dealership had been hit with a nasty virus, and BAM! Their DMS server was utterly compromised. All data was corrupted and had to be wiped off the system.

The Good news

Sellsmore had smartly added Autosoft’s Cloud Backup protection for their DMS recently. So, fortunately, Autosoft’s support team informed the Sellsmore staff that Cloud Backup had safely secured their data backups and that their data could be restored. No problem.

Without Cloud Backup, their data would have been restorable only back to the last manual backup, and that’s only if they had been regularly doing manual backups.

While the data was secure, the server itself was affected, and it would be a couple of days until Sellsmore’s local IT provider could wipe it clean, making it reloadable. Sellsmore clearly could only afford a few days without their DMS, so Autosoft offered further assistance. Using an uninfected workstation PC at the dealership as a temporary server, Autosoft created a quick fix by loading the Autosoft DMS and Sellsmore’s data onto that computer.

Sellsmore was up and running in under three hours! (We actually could have done it even faster, but Sellsmore needed time to communicate with their local IT support. And we, of course, stayed with them while they confirmed their backed-up data was just as it should be.)

That’s the facts. There for you when you need it—make sure your dealership has the power of Cloud Backup.

The Recovery Process

A malicious virus had infiltrated their computer system, bringing their DMS server to its knees. Chaos ensued, but here’s where the plot twist unfolds – thanks to Autosoft’s Cloud Backup, all data was securely backed up, tucked away safely in the digital clouds.

With the server compromised, a cold shiver of downtime could have swept through the dealership. But, remember, this is where Autosoft shines. The recovery process involved setting up a temporary server using an uninfected workstation PC at the dealership.

Autosoft’s expert team orchestrated a quick-fix masterpiece – loading the Autosoft DMS and Sellsmore’s precious data onto the makeshift server.
