Product Details[]
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack[]
Designed to provide a data protection and recovery solution for mission-critical applications, in the data center or remote branch offices, for enterprises and small businesses. TSM FastBack can eliminate traditional backup windows by continuously capturing data changes at the block level, with very minimal impact to the systems it helps protect. Its policy-based approach to data protection allows administrators to improve recovery service levels, specifically Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) based on the needs of the individual application or data type. TSM FastBack also provides a near instant restore capability that enables applications to be up and running within minutes after data recovery is initiated, while data recovery is performed in the background.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Microsoft Exchange[]
Extends TSM FastBack protection capabilities by allowing quick and easy restore of individual Exchange objects such as e-mail messages and attachments, contact lists, calendars, tasks, journal entries, entire folders, and so forth. TSM FastBack for Microsoft Exchange uses a standard Windows-style GUI to help search for, select and restore the needed objects.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery[]
A solution for Windows that allows users to easily recover entire systems to a comparable server, to a new server with different hardware, or to a virtual machine (VMware or Microsoft Virtual Server). TSM FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery can also be used for server migration operations, and as a platform for business resilience for remote branch offices.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Center[]
Combines the three TSM FastBack products into a single package.
Features[]
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack
- Continuous data protection software with near-instant recovery for critical Windows applications.
- Data changes are captured at the block level at the time of being written to disk. This eliminates the need for scheduled backups that take applications off-line for a period of time (the “backup window”).
- Schedule automated data transfers based on flexible, policy-based settings, helping administrators balance storage and bandwidth costs with data protection and retention requirements, on a per-application basis.
- Enable data asset recovery from any Windows application, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2 and SAP.
- Make the most effective use of available bandwidth with strategies such as multi-threading, bundling of small files and industry-standard compression.
- Operating systems supported: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Microsoft Exchange
- Recover Exchange data from backup copies of the Exchange database (EDB) managed by TSM FastBack or Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail; and recover non-corrupt objects from a corrupt Exchange Database.
- Granular level recovery of any individual data object or group of objects, such as individual e-mail messages, contact lists, tasks, or calendar entries
- Drag-and-drop recovery can minimize downtime
- Recover objects that were previously considered unrecoverable—such as deleted e-mail messages, or address books lost due to synchronization errors
- Restore objects directly to an Exchange Server or to send objects to a user-defined destination via SMTP
