IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack
In today's highly competitive and always-on business environment, companies of any size cannot easily tolerate the loss of data or the loss of access to critical applications for an extended period of time.
There are a number of forces that can cause data loss, from an accidental or malicious deletion to virus attacks, disk and system failures, and local and regional disasters. Each of these situations requires a specific approach to protecting and recovering data and getting critical applications back online.
IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBackTM is a next-generation continuous data protection and recovery management platform for Microsoft Windows servers. It combines a number of leading-edge and patented technologies to provide an extensive data protection and recovery solution for mission-critical applications, both in the data center and in remote or branch offices.
Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack can replace the use of tape, especially in small or remote offices that may have a shortage of IT personnel. In larger offices and data centers, it can be integrated with your existing tape backup applications, such as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, to provide an intermediary disk-based layer for significantly faster backup and recovery capabilities, while eliminating the need to shut down applications in order to run backup jobs.
