Quick backup is performed through the built-in intelligent management of SSD firmware. Once the system encounters problems such as data corruption or failure to boot, a simple one-second recovery operation can be performed via remote control or locally, and there is no need to wait for maintenance personnel to arrive at the scene. This technology can eliminate system failures and restore the system to normal operation. Customers can choose the appropriate snapshot backup technology according to their application requirements.
