BackupEDGE 01.01.08 is fully capable of performing network backup and restore operations to / from any system with BackupEDGE
installed. In addition to simply writing on / reading from remote tapes, all the low-level SCSI / ATAPI tape and SCSI autochanger
control functionality is retained for remote drives. This enables you to perform backup and restore operations to any tape drive on your network, without worrying about its physical location. In addition, the
Fast File Restore abilities of BackupEDGE
also function for remote drives. Only the data required for the restore is sent across the network; no bandwidth is wasted. You do not even have to restore files to the same system as the one that created the archive!
Our Crash Recovery
software, RecoverEDGE, is also network aware. You may recover a system from a tape in a remote tape drive as easily as if it were local. No extra work is required on your part; RecoverEDGE
automatically handles the details. If desired, you can control the entire session remotely as well, via telnet or modem, and see exactly what you'd see sitting at the system console! |
