Backup (Advanced Copy)
The Advanced Copy function (high-speed copying function) enables data backup (data replication)
at any point without stopping the operations of the
ETERNUS DX.
For an ETERNUS DX backup operation, data can be replicated without placing a load on the busi-
ness server. The replication process for large amounts of data can be performed by controlling the
timing and business access so that data protection can be considered separate from operation pro-
cesses.
An example of an Advanced Copy operation using ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager is shown
below.

There are two types of Advanced Copy: a local copy that is performed within a single ETERNUS DX
and a remote copy that is performed between multiple
ETERNUS DX storage systems.
Local copy functions include One Point Copy (OPC), QuickOPC, SnapOPC, SnapOPC+, and Equiva-
lent Copy (EC), and remote copy functions include Remote Equivalent Copy (REC).
The following table shows ETERNUS related software for controlling the Advanced Copy function.

ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager supports various OSs and ISV
applications, and enables the use of all the Advanced Copy func-
tions. This software can also be used for backups that interoperate
with Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange Server, or Symfoware Server
without stopping operations.
