Backup System Administrator (SBAdmin) is the flagship of Storix, a recovery and backup platform primarily targeted for Linux and AIX devices. SBAdmin The platform mainly different scale and offered in several flavors, including the characteristic Desktop limited edition, perform for non single system, non-commercial users, the Professional Edition, with multiple systems or single systems that do not share network resources and, finally, the network administrator version, which allows between network machines, in particular the centralized management of backup jobs. Every computer on the network, a client (to back off) or a server (be backed up to), or both in the Network Administrator version, with the central console to monitor their status and management of the backup jobs between them.
SBAdmin platform important function the ability to complete system recovery of data to machines is carried out with different hardware from the original source, facilitate operations such as multiplication or cloning of computers without the need for O / S and install applications individually on new devices. Storix as described. Inc., as an adaptable system recovery (ASR) technology for the recoveries that acclimatize to secure data to the hardware detected during installation offers. If differences between the backup and newly detected hardware are detected, the software recommendations for the user on how the restoration is complete, such as making the user aware of the selection the new disks or automated shrinking to make the file systems. In addition to migrating a backup to new hardware, the backup will be changed if are on the same machine as well as restored, facilitating the transfer of memory allocations to the device, such as: migration on logical volumes or RAID software from disk partitions to transfer partitions on different disks, splitting a single FS into multiple systems, etc.).
Linux and AIX machines, the primary target for the SBAdmin, but the product manufacturers, Storix, Inc., finds that Windows or Mac OS X based backups are also a possible option to be considered within the Network Administrator version, a process that is possible made by the product’s ability to secure exposed data via the SMB protocol. These data are then exposed to the backing of the first moving SMB data temporarily on a Linux host and SMB support it then from there. The data can then Linux or AIX file systems, if desired, be restored, as are an additional feature if the user wishes. As described above, full system recovery is not for backups, the SMB-based.
Additional features are optional backup encryption. The data is encrypted on the client before being transmitted over the network, with options that are installed from the original machine or a machine with the correct key, the backup will be limited only read. The ability to live backups perform point-in-time data via Split-Mirror-Backups on AIX systems and Snapshot Logical Volumes on Linux, and an elective Oracle Database Backup feature integrating Oracle database backups with the SBAdmin interface.
SBAdmin the latest version is the already mentioned Oracle RMAN integration, and a Remote Installation Manager enables remote managed system recovery, a Web-based interface, support for various compression levels, retention policies and new notification, and after Storix, Inc., offers a performance gain of up to 2x and 4x post to read.
With prices for the desktop version 5 for the Network Administrator version now available SDAdmin. It is an additional fee of 5 for additional backup client / server licenses.
