HP's OmniBack/Turbo is a network backup management solution that
provides centralized backup and recovery running on the HP9000 Series
800.  It adds the ability to perform high speed image backups of the
Series 800 business server in addition to the features of OmniBack.

High speed image backups permits OmniBack/Turbo to backup raw storage
devices that are outside of the native HP-UX filesystem.  Relational
databases such as Oracle configure entire disks as raw devices and
impose their own file structure on those devices.  OmniBack/Turbo can
backup these types of disks as well as the HP-UX system disks and also
backup files from the network clients.

It is designed for backup in a distributed networked environment of
multiuser HP-UX systems as well as HP-UX workstations.  HP
OmniBack/Turbo adds sophisticated scheduling and journaling facilities
to the backup process.  OmniBack/Turbo's networking capabilities are
based upon Apollo's NCS - Network Computing Services - an industry
standard widely recognized for its distributed computing facilities.
NCS functions are incorporated within OmniBack/Turbo.

The distributed nature of OmniBack/Turbo lets an administrator provide
centralized backup and control from any machine in the network.  Any
file or disk in the the network can be backed up or restored to any
backup device in the network such as the optical disk library.  This
provides great flexibility and substantial operating efficiencies in
maintaining networkwide data integrety and security.  The administrator
can setup and schedule any number of unattended, automated backups with
the optical disk library.
