Cross-Platform Network Backup - NovaBACKUP DataCenter 5.0

NovaBACKUP DataCenter 5.0 Advanced Features

• System Reliability

The fault-tolerant architecture ensures high data availability: NovaBACKUP DataCenter’s modular architecture protects all important components by using redundant backup strategies. Restores can be carried out on a client, even if individual components have failed.

• Robust Communication

Improved data availability: Backups and restores are possible even if the central database is not available. Simple administration of backup processes from one central management console, even across distributed locations (using WAN).

• Support of failover media pools

Less manual intervention, better availability: If a storage medium, local drive, or backup server is not available, backups are automatically sent to alternative storage media.

• Cluster Support

Less downtime: Support of cluster configuration ensures optimal availability of productive applications.

• ATAP Restore

Any Time Any Place Restores: A direct restore is possible offline on the client using only the backup medium and a drive. No central database is required. High flexibility, better planning...more alternatives for safe data

• Disk 2 Disk

Efficient use of storage: Fast, parallel backups and restores to and from inexpensive disk systems.

• Disk 2 Disk 2 Tape

Time-saving and efficient: Backing up data to a disk staging area before moving the information to tape enables fast backups and restores – without re-staging. Replaces and spares investments for virtual tape libraries.

• File System, Raw, Image, and Pipe Backup

Unlimited flexibility: NovaBACKUP DataCenter supports the backup method best suited for protecting individual files, whole disk partitions, or applications.

• Virtual Systems

Optimal use of resources: Flexible Support of physical and virtual server environments without confinements to particular manufacturers.

• Logical Cloning

Cost-efficient protection if individual backups are lost: Single selected backups can be logically copied to different backup servers and locations.

• Synthetic Backups / Incremental Forever

Faster backup reduced data volumes: Several incremental backups can be used to create a synthetic full backup.

• Accounting

Integrated accounting functionality to allow invoicing for data availability as a service: All relevant data is captured and logged. Accounting IDs can be assigned when individual backups are set up for easy and clear allocation of resources. Better performance, fewer resources...reduced costs for data availability.

• High-Performance Data Movers

Minimized system load: Optimized data compression distributes system load on the clients and the backup servers.

• LAN-less / Serverless Backups

Faster backups and restores: The client writes directly to the storage media – without going to a backup server. This increases the backup speed and avoids unnecessary network traffic.

• Multiplexer

Optimal use of the fastest tape drive: Powerful and efficient data multiplexer can write up to 128 parallel data streams to one drive. And a parallel restore is possible as well.

• Dynamic Tape Drive Sharing

Efficient storage use: Clients and servers can optionally use a shared pool of tape drives thus optimizing resource usage.

• NDMP Support

Storage consolidation: Backup and restore windows are minimized and libraries are used efficiently due to client connections via Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP).

• Inline Cloning

Low-cost protection in case of loss of individual backups: Data can be written to two or more mirrored tape drives in parallel, even on separate backup servers in different geographical locations.
