AdvancedCopy Manager provides an integrated tape backup capability that delivers disk to disk to tape backup functionality when used in conjunction with an ETERNUS Tape Library.
Backup to tape is enabled by installing dedicated Tape Server and AdvancedCopy Manager software.
Backup to disk is implemented as normal using the same hardware functions of ETERNUS (One Point Copy and Equivalent Copy) and a subsequent backup to tape is then performed from the AdvancedCopy Manager backup volume to tape.
In addition, data saved to tape for disaster recovery purposes can be recovered to a disk array unit if that suits the data recovery environment.
This maximises transaction volume uptime by taking advantage of the ETERNUS hardware functions.
