ES-Backup Description

ES-Backup - Easy-to-use data backup, archiving and synchronization software for UNIX servers ES-Backup is an easy-to-use data backup, archiving and synchronization software for UNIX servers.As result of consequent use of available open standards on a specific UNIX operating system, ES-Backup reaches an optimal compatibility.Since it allows to access your data even after years this technique saves your investment in ES-Backup.NOTE: In order to use the demo version you will need a demo software activation key that will receive on the e-mail address you will provide before downloading the software. If you don't enter a valid demo software activation key you may use ES-Backup for manual local synchronizations.Here are some key features of "ES Backup":Overview:· Optimized data throughput Simultaneous reading/writing from different servers, filesystems and folders to/from several servers with multiple tape drives.· Backup and synchronization of network clients Unlimited number of clients may be backed up.· No slot limitation in tape changers Unlimited number of tape changer slots may be used without additional license fees.· Works independent from 3rd party applications Internal information is stored on filesystem and on tape without the need of a database application.· Independent administration application No need of additional applications. Individual preferences, e.g. user language, on each workstation.· Uses standard UNIX backup format Thus best investment protection and secure data restoration in the future.· No need of UNIX knowledge Allthough based on UNIX, all administrative tasks as well as backup and restore are managed from the ES-Backup adminstration application.· Open for 3rd party applications APIs available for integration in 3rd party applications, such as media asset management systems.Data Backup and Synchronization:· Optimized write performance Several processes simultaneously read data and write to tape.· Manual and scheduled full and incremental backup, archive and synchronization Entire filesystems, individual files and folders immediately or scheduled with customizable date and time settings.· Manual and scheduled archiving Individual files and folders immediately or scheduled on weekly basis with customizable day and time settings.· Backup of special files Such as device files, symbolic and hard links, HFS+ resource forks and Mac OS X Finder information, etc.· Recycling of backup tapes A time based software-write-protection prevents unintended overwriting, e.g. of a tape left in the device from the day before.· Selection of files by Drag&Drop Simply drag the files or folders to the ES-Backup window.· Analyzation charts to compare backup strategies Compare required backup time and media for different backup strategies.Data Restoration· Optimized read performance QFA (Quick File Access) and QTA (Quick Tape Access) position tapes as fast as possible.· Fast find of files to restore Through comfortable search dialogs in offline data.· Restore of special files Such as device files, symbolic and hard links, HFS+ resource forks and Finder information, etc. Creates bootable filesystems.· Desaster-Recovery Restoration of ES-Backup configuration files as well as user data possible with UNIX tools for immediate availability.· Selection of destination folder by Drag&Drop Simply drag the destination folder to the ES-Backup window.Network Support:· Independent administration application Application with Drag&Drop support for local and remote administration.· Backup of network clients Unlimited number of client computers may be backed up without additional license fees.Media:· Supports mostly all important backup media E.g. AIT, SAIT, DLT, SDLT, SLR, VXA, LTO, DDS, Mammoth, hard disks, etc. SCSI on all platforms. FireWire, USB, Fibre Channel on Mac OS X.· Supports mostly all important tape changers e.g. from Overland, Tandberg, Exabyte, Sony, Qualstar, Spectra Logic, ADIC, Sun, HP, virtual tape libraries, etc. with optional tape changer extension. SCSI an all platforms. FireWire, Fibre Channel on Mac OS X.Administration:· Assistants guide through the tasks Backup and restore operations can be started with a few mouse clicks. Scheduled backups can be setup using predefined backup strategies.· Clearly arranged status displays In lists and detailed logfiles for all active and finished jobs. Status bars, etc.· Status information via email To any recipient after jobs are finished.· Backup of ES-Backup configuration files To additional media for fast restore of entire offline information as well as after each backup job to the backup tape itself.· Barcode support For internal application use and fast find of external tapes. Additionally, each tape is labled with date and time stamp to allow identification even without barcode information.· Organizing tape changers Changer slots may be assigned to different logical devices to reserve them for specific tasks or company departments.· Tape changer status display Shows slots with tape information, firmware revision level. Allows to Drag&Drop tapes between slots manually.· Administration of several servers From any single workstation through Intranet or Internet.· Comfortable usage With Drag&Drop, saving of logfiles to local harddisk, re-use of backup configuration.· Customizable runtime environment Individual scripts can be integrated and selected for execution before and after backup, synchronisation and restore jobs.Safety:· UNIX user access integrated Administration, backup and restore via username and password only.· File access rights preserved File owner, group and access rights as well as modification time are inherited from original file during restore.· Network access may be limited Only network clients allowed by the administrator may access backup devices.· All important backup settings on tape Each backup automatically contains all information required for restore. Additionally this information is available in ES-Backup's installation folder on disk.· Techniques for longer lifetime of tapes Thus longer availability of data on tape.· Backup verification Compares files on backup media with original files on harddisk, thus ensuring backup integrity.· Checks integrity of backups Checksums are used to assure correctness of data on tape.· Backup tapes readable everywhere Tapes written by ES-Backup can be read on any of the supported operating systems.Extensions:· Workstation Package Backup/restore with local attached tape drives and harddisks. Synchronization to local attached harddisks. Ideal for a single workstation or server without the need for backup and synchronizing of network clients.· Workgroup Package Backup/restore with local and remote attached tape drives, tape changers and harddisks. Synchronization to local and remote attached harddisks. Ideal for small workgroups with one or two servers and the need to backup, restore and synchronize network clients.· Server Packages Workstation and Workgroup Packages are extended to support HELIOS fileservers with UTF-8 filenames, data and resource forks, desktop database.· Additional licenses For simultaneous backup/restore and synchronization jobs and therefor higher data throughput additional licenses are available.Installation and Configuration:· ES-Backup installs in a few minutes Either with the Apple Installer or from the UNIX shell.· Automatic configuration of backup devices Tape devices and tape changers are available for immediate use after installation, and can be re-configured or added later.· Manual configuration of backup devices For specific needs backup devices can be configured by hand or may be inherited from other servers via Drag&Drop.Requirements:· Tape drive or tape library or external harddisk· Administration Java Runtime 1.4/1.5, TCP/IP network connection to the server.· Server and client Sun Solaris 8/9/10 SPARC/i386, Linux/Intel Kernels 2.4 and 2.6, Mac OS X Panther/Tiger/Leopard PPC/Intel + Server.· Filesystems UFS, EXT2, EXT3, HFS+, Reiser, XFS, NFS, ZFS, UDF, AFP, ISO9660, HSFS. HELIOS file format.
