<div><p>Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) provides
|
||
|
|
a robust, easy-to-use graphical user interface to perform save and recovery
|
||
|
|
operations and to manage media.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />On i5/OS™ there
|
||
|
|
are several ways to perform backup and recovery operations. You can use native
|
||
|
|
save and restore commands, the Save menu options or create CL programs. However,
|
||
|
|
BRMS provides a more dynamic solution that allows not only for your backup
|
||
|
|
and recovery needs, but also easier management of media and provides archiving
|
||
|
|
capabilities for infrequently used objects. BRMS provides the following added
|
||
|
|
functions that these other backup solutions do not have:<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Robust graphical user interface </dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The BRMS graphical user interface is available as an iSeries™ Navigator
|
||
|
|
plug-in. The BRMS interface provides more granular backups of individual
|
||
|
|
files and directories, the ability to create policies to control archives
|
||
|
|
and backups on your system, a simple save history query function to quickly
|
||
|
|
locate items to restore, and an easy, effective method of managing media and
|
||
|
|
devices used for BRMS save operations. </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Tailored save operations</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>BRMS comes with several standard policies that cover your basic needs,
|
||
|
|
but you can also create customized policies that saves data based on your
|
||
|
|
company's specific needs. You have the options to create archive policies,
|
||
|
|
which provide a systematic way of saving infrequently used objects to media
|
||
|
|
to free space on the system, and backup policies, which perform save operations
|
||
|
|
on data that is critical to your day-to-day operations. You can also choose
|
||
|
|
to backup individual files or directories or perform incremental and online
|
||
|
|
backups of Lotus<sup>®</sup> servers
|
||
|
|
while they are still active.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Lotus server
|
||
|
|
online and incremental saves</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>BRMS enables you to save Lotus servers while they are active. You can also
|
||
|
|
easily define items to omit from the save operation.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"> Enhanced save-while-active</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>BRMS allows you to use your server during all or part of the save process,
|
||
|
|
which can help you reduce or eliminate your down time for certain save operations.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Parallel save and restore support </dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>BRMS provides the ability to save libraries and objects to multiple devices
|
||
|
|
at once. You can use up to 32 devices in this manner. </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Network feature </dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>By placing multiple systems in a BRMS network, you can share BRMS policies,
|
||
|
|
media information, and storage locations across the network. This allows you
|
||
|
|
to manage saves and restores across all of your systems in a consistent manner.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Media and device management</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>BRMS enables you to keep an inventory of your media and track everything
|
||
|
|
that is on them. When you do a backup, BRMS lets you know which tapes to use,
|
||
|
|
so you do not have to worry about writing over active data. In addition you
|
||
|
|
can manage devices, such as Tivoli<sup>®</sup> Storage Manager (TSM) servers, to store your
|
||
|
|
saved data.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Step-by-step disaster recovery</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>After every backup, you can print a disaster recovery report that will
|
||
|
|
guide you through the recovery of your system. It even tells you which media
|
||
|
|
you need to restore which pieces of the system. <strong>Note:</strong> It is recommended
|
||
|
|
that after every scheduled backup, you print your disaster recovery report.
|
||
|
|
In the event of an unplanned system outage, this report will help guide you
|
||
|
|
through a recovery of your entire system.</dd>
