FASTBAC DR

A New 'Disk to Disk' Backup Solution for IBM Users!

Ashwood releases newest version of FastBac DR for MultiValue Database Users!

FastBac DR is a utility that prepares a supported MultiValue database for backup with minimal interruption to the users of the database. Sites that are accustomed to having users log out of the database during a backup no longer have that requirement - an incredible benefit to 24x7 sites and those with little opportunity to complete a backup. In one case, a site using FastBac DR completes what was an approximately 4-hour backup in approximately 45 minutes.

The FastBac DR Solution Includes:

  • Comprehensive Review of Your Current Backup Procedures
  • Update of Your Operating System to a Recommended Level
  • Update of Your Disk Configuration
  • Update of Your U2 to a Recommended Revision Level
  • Customized Shell Scripts for Your Worry Free Backups

With FastBac DR, your backups and restores are network accessible, significantly reducing the time it takes to perform either process.

Fastbac DR temporarily suspends writes to the database while it  captures a digital image of the database. This typically takes less than 60 seconds to complete; some sites report 5 seconds or less, which most users don't notice. This image can then be used to complete a backup to tape, disk, or other systems without interfering with the current users of the database. This is an excellent opportunity to have a cold (anywhere from a few hours to a few days) backup system readily available locally or remotely. It also affords the ability to have multiple electronic backup images available online, offering fast and easy access to recent data.

FastBac DR currently requires your MV database to be a recent version of UniData, UniVerse, jBASE, or Reality. FastBac and currently runs on IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3, or 6.1, as well as RedHat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 or 5. The space required for the digital image is typically less than 20% of the space occupied by the database(s) being backed up with the aid of FastBac.
