Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) is a licensed program that helps you implement a disciplined approach to managing your backups, and provides you with an orderly way to retrieve lost or damaged data.
The combination of BRMS with a tape library provides a total solution for all your tape automation requirements. Using tape automation and BRMS, you can design and carry out a solution that shows the results in the following ways:
Less manual intervention is required to operate tape units because most of your tape operation is automated and unattended.
BRMS enables you to streamline your backups by reducing the time that is required for tape mounting and backup operations.
Archiving and retrieving functions enable you to increase the quantity of online (on-disk) data that can be moved to less expensive tape media.
You can experience faster and more accurate responses to your tape-related requests. You can gain more control of your tape management operation.
Day-to-day operations, such as tape and disk capacity management, are more automated and simplified.
