2.10.5 Proactive Backup
Proactive Backup software initiates a tape or PD-CD backup upon receiving notice of an
impending SMART hard drive failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate Backup Exec tape backup software
on the server, or with Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive.
Together with the Insight Management Agents, this software offers a Proactive Backup solution.
For instructions on configuring the Backup Exec SMART Client, contact your systems
administrator or refer to the Seagate Backup Exec documentation.
Cheyenne has also created an agent to support the Proactive Backup solution. The SMART Drive
Agent is the component that recognizes and reacts to the SMART hard drive fault alerts. This
agent is an extension to the Microsoft Windows 95 tape backup agent for the standalone
application ARCsolo for Windows. This agent works with the SMART hard drive to ensure that
critical data will be protected in the event of a hard drive failure.
2.10.6 Surge-Tolerant Power Supply
An integrated surge-tolerant power supply provides greater reliability when the computer is hit
with an unpredictable power surge. This power supply is rated to withstand a power surge of up to
2000 volts without incurring any system downtime or data loss.
2.10.7 Thermal Sensor
The thermal sensor is a hardware and software feature that tracks the internal temperature of the
computer. This feature displays a warning message when the normal range is exceeded, which
gives you time to take action before internal components are damaged or data is lost.
