Enterprise Backup Solution for VERITAS Backup Exec™ 12 Enterprise Backup Solution Management Software The software for this solution includes: • VERITAS Backup Exec™ • Compaq StorageWorks Command Console • Compaq User Diagnostics • Compaq Insight Manager • Compaq Insight Manager XE VERITAS Backup Exec™ Features and Benefits Deployed in an EBS environment, Backup Exec™ configured with the Shared Storage Option uses a dedicated FC-AL to perform backup and restore operations. Backup traffic is separated from the LAN eliminating network bandwidth bottlenecks that reduce productivity for the network users. The Shared Storage Option allows all servers configured in the SAN to dynamically share a common set of tape devices. Advanced Device and Media Management (ADAMM) database for Backup Exec™ resides on one Backup Exec™ server and provides management capabilities for the shared devices. Backup Exec™ uses this shared database to arbitrate all device and media requests preventing accidental media overwrites. The ADAMM database also provides for central device and media tracking and reporting. Additionally, due to the manner in which devices are mapped by the Fibre Channel tape controller, tape libraries are always presented to the application in a consistent order. This consistent presentation of tape libraries eliminates the need to reconfigure the application in case a tape drive or a library fails. Options and Agents Backup Exec Intelligent Disaster Recovery™ Option-This option provides the only point-in-time recovery solution for both local and remote Windows NT systems. This option eliminates the need to reload the entire operating system. Using either the diskette-based, exclusive CD-R/CD-RW or the bootable tape (One Button Disaster Recovery™ tape drives only) solutions, Intelligent Disaster Recovery reduces the time required to get back online and allows data recovery from the last complete backup set, including full, incremental, and differential backups. An automated, step-by-step wizard returns the system to the state it was in at the time of the last backup. The administrator can configure Intelligent Disaster Recovery in the manner best suited to needs of the company. 11NH-0100A-WWEN
