All this happens in the background, at the push of a button or triggered by a scheduled automated routine, while users continue their work. 

In this way, the entire publication can be restored very quickly in the event of a crash. vjoon Storage Engine does the work in a fraction of the usual time. Fast recovery ultimately means less downtime and lower costs.
