For companies of all sizes, a backup and recovery plan is critical to an overall Disaster Recover Plan. An accurate backup routine must be maintained to guarantee data is stored securely and is available for recovery. The IBM Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) application implements a disciplined approach to managing iSeries backups, while providing an orderly way to retrieve lost or damaged data.
Operating on a single iSeries, a logical partition, or a network of iSeries servers, BRMS is a solution for policy-driven backup, recovery, tape media management, and archive services for tape devices.
BRMS offers a disciplined approach to backup management that will save time and money. Using BRMS’s critical and complex backups are easily managed, together with online backups of Lotus Domino servers and shutdown and startup of Integrated xSeries Servers (IXS/IXA). BRMS also performs daily maintenance activities related to your backup and allows full recovery of your system in the event of a disaster or failure.
