BACKHOME is designed to allow the backup of network
data to centralized storage subsystems. Delivery of critical
data from distributed platforms can be automatically
scheduled into a storage server, allowing operations staff
to extend their primary archiving procedures company-wide.
Data presented to the server comes under the control of its
tape management, archiving, and disaster recovery software,
providing a unified approach to backup operations. The
product is especially well suited for use with host robotics
subsystems and SANS in data center automation. BackHome
supports MVS and Tandem as well as Tivoli Storage Manager®
API’s.
