Using BRMS, users can perform online backups of their Lotus servers. This
includes full online backups and incremental online backup of their Lotus server
databases. BRMS provides ready-made Lotus server backup policies and
exclude lists, which allow users to back up only the Lotus server databases or all
system objects except the Lotus server databases.
BRMS optional features
BRMS is structured to allow the addition of functions and features incrementally
as business needs change and grow. Two optional features can be added to the
base product to build a full function BRMS system as explained in the following
sections.
BRMS Network Feature
With the BRMS Network Feature, a BRMS system is connected to other BRMS
systems in the network using native TCP/IP, Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network
(APPN), or both. A BRMS network system shares the inventory and policies
associated with media managed by a central BRMS system.
In addition, users can view the saved history of any system in the network from a
single system. If two systems in the network share a common device, a user can
automatically restore objects on one system that are saved on another system.
The networking feature also allows users to off-load their media duplication task
by using one system in the network to duplicate media on behalf of another
system in the network. The systems in a BRMS network can be other iSeries
systems or individual OS/400 partitions.
BRMS Advanced Feature
The BRMS Advanced Feature enables Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM)
archive with HSM dynamic retrieval and automated auxiliary storage pool (ASP)
data migration.
Parallel backup works with the BRMS Advanced Feature to allow for parallel
archive and parallel dynamic retrieval of a single object. The ability to
dynamically retrieve a large database file in parallel helps to reduce the window
of the retrieval process. Therefore, it increases the rewards for using HSM
archive and dynamic retrieval support.
Note: The base product does not support shared media, archive, dynamic
retrieval, or automated migration operations.
