HP-UX Backup Utilities

BACKUP/RESTORE



Overview

--------

Information is one of the most important assets of a company.
Therefore, availability of data and protection against data loss is one
of the most critical issues for system managers to address.  These
features are more and more important as data is spread out across a
heterogeneous network.



Backup/Restore utilities are required to reduce the system manager's
task of archiving while providing users with more control over access
of their files. A new generation of backup and recovery utilities is
required to provide protection against data loss and minimize the time
data is not accessible due to backup and recovery processes.

The UNIX operating system provides commands which allow users to backup
and restore their systems.  To accommodate HP-UX customer's needs for
enhanced backup solutions, HP provides additionally fbackup, HP
Omniback and HP Omniback/Turbo.

fbackup

-------

Fbackup is a backup tool, supplied with HP-UX, that is targeted for
small and midrange systems.  It provides a cost-effective solution that
is easy to use. With HP-UX Release 8.0, fbackup will be integrated into
the System Administration Manager (SAM).  Fbackup will also support HP
DAT/DDS tapes, which allow unattended backup of up to 1.3 Gbytes of
data.



HP OmniBack

-----------

HP OmniBack is a network-oriented backup management system.  By taking
a network-wide perspective, it automates all backup operations for any
set of machines across a distributed network.  System operators can sit
at any machine on the network and utilize storage devices across the
network.  HP OmniBack provides the traditional backup and restore
function and enhances them with sophisticated scheduling and journaling
facilities.  HP OmniBack is based on Apollo's Network Computing
Services (NCS) and is already available on all HP/Apollo Domain systems
and will be available on the HP 9000 Series 300/400/600/800 in the
2Q91.



HP OmniBack/Turbo

-----------------

HP OmniBack/Turbo provides additional major enhancements to HP Omniback
for high-end HP-UX systems and servers. It is designed for networked
system environments and for systems with a large amount of online data,
especially large databases.  HP OmniBack/Turbo is a truly innovative
product, combining network backup capabilities with high-performance
local back- up (more than 5Gbytes per hour for certain configurations).
Through the support of rewritable optical library systems, this product
will allow unattended backup/recovery of more than 40 Gbytes of data.
It will be perfectly suited for large distributed computing
environments with the need for central backup.  HP Omniback/Turbo will
be available in the 2Q91 for the HP 9000 Series 600/800.

If you would like additional information on HP-UX backup/restore
commands and products, consult the Backup White Paper, available from
the Literature Distribution Center (P/N 5952-2178).  This White Paper
explains HP's backup strategy for different user environments.

Positioning Versus Competition

------------------------------

HP OmniBack/Turbo will be the first backup/recovery product in the UNIX
world that provides real High-Speed and Unattended Backup.
Furthermore, HP OmniBack and HP OmniBack/Turbo will be the first
network backup/recovery solutions in the UNIX world provided by a
system vendor.
