Server Backup Services

Employ a comprehensive software system to backup almost any type of server over the TCP/IP network - unattended - with the Server Backup Services (SBS) from the Department of Information Services. SBS allows the immediate restoration of a file, all files on a disk, or an entire server, and enables you to backup and recover data around-the-clock, 365 days a year.

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), the software used for this service, is an enterprise-wide solution, which integrates automated backup and restore, archive and retrieval, hierarchical storage management and disaster recovery. Storage Manager supports approximately 39 client platforms and the following server platforms: HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000, sun Solaris and IBM MVS-OS-390. TSM uses its own Relational Database System to keep track of all storage management functions.

Take advantage of reliable backup services, and protect against both planned and unforeseen events with SBS.
