<div><p>IBM<sup>®</sup> Backup,
|
||
|
|
Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) helps you implement a disciplined approach
|
||
|
|
to managing your backups and provides you with an orderly way to retrieve
|
||
|
|
lost or damaged data.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />BRMS is the IBM strategic solution for planning and managing save
|
||
|
|
and restore operations on your iSeries™ server. BRMS base product provides
|
||
|
|
all of the functions that most iSeries users need to implement a fully
|
||
|
|
automated, single system, backup, recovery, and media management strategy.
|
||
|
|
Using BRMS, you can manage your most critical and complex saves, including
|
||
|
|
online backups of Lotus<sup>®</sup> servers, simply and easily. It also supports
|
||
|
|
parallel saves of a library or single object using up to 32 tape devices,
|
||
|
|
which shortens the save window by using multiple devices. You can also recover
|
||
|
|
your system fully in the event of a disaster or failure or restore single
|
||
|
|
objects or libraries from your save media. BRMS can also perform some daily
|
||
|
|
maintenance activities that are related to your backup routine.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />In addition to these backup and recovery features, BRMS can
|
||
|
|
support and manage an unlimited number of media, shared tape devices, automated
|
||
|
|
tape libraries, virtual tape devices, and IBM Tivoli<sup>®</sup> Storage Manager servers. BRMS
|
||
|
|
enables you to track all of your media from creation to expiration. You no
|
||
|
|
longer have to keep track of which items are on which volumes, and worry that
|
||
|
|
you will accidentally write over active data. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />As your business needs change and grow, you can add function
|
||
|
|
to the BRMS base product by purchasing and installing additional options.
|
||
|
|
The Network feature of the BRMS product provides centralized management of
|
||
|
|
multiple BRMS systems within a network using native TCP/IP, Advanced Peer-to-Peer
|
||
|
|
Network (APPN), or both. A BRMS network system shares the inventory and policies
|
||
|
|
associated with media managed within BRMS network group. In addition, users
|
||
|
|
can view the save history of any system in the network from a single system.
|
||
|
|
The networking feature also simplifies media duplication by using one system
|
||
|
|
in the network to duplicate media on behalf of another system in the network.
|
||
|
|
The systems in a BRMS network can be other iSeries systems or individual i5/OS™ partitions.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The Advanced Feature of the BRMS product enables Hierarchical
|
||
|
|
Storage Manager (HSM) archive with HSM dynamic retrieval and automated disk
|
||
|
|
pool data migration. Parallel saves works with the BRMS Advanced Feature to
|
||
|
|
allow for parallel archive and parallel dynamic retrieval of a single object.
|
||
|
|
The ability to dynamically retrieve a large database file in parallel helps
|
||
|
|
to reduce the window of the retrieval process. Therefore, it increases the
|
||
|
|
rewards for using HSM archive and dynamic retrieval support. The BRMS Advanced
|
||
|
|
Feature allows archive capabilities of database files, stream files, and documents
|
||
|
|
based on frequency of use, inactivity limit, object size, or disk pool thresholds.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>BRMS provides both the traditional character-based interface and a graphical
|
||
|
|
user interface (GUI), which is available as a plug-in to iSeries Navigator.
|
||
|
|
These interfaces are not mutually exclusive. You can either choose both
|
||
|
|
interfaces, using the character-based interface for some tasks and the BRMS
|
||
|
|
plug-in for others, or you can choose to use one interface exclusively. However,
|
||
|
|
differences between these BRMS interfaces do exist and you should be aware
|
||
|
|
of them.</p>

<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> BRMS is not a replacement for a backup, recovery, and
|
||
|
|
media management strategy; it is a tool that you use to implement your strategy.
|

|
|
Before you start doing backups using BRMS or any other product, you should
|
||
|
|
plan your backup and recovery strategy.</div>

You can manage backups, recovery operations and your media with
|
||
|
|
BRMS by using either the BRMS plug-in to iSeries Navigator or through the character-based
|
||
|
|
interface. If you have used the character-based interface in the past and
|
||
|
|
want to use the BRMS plug-in, you should be aware of the differences between
|
||
|
|
these two interfaces.</li>
