Now shops of all sizes can do daily backups and saves without operational downtime or tape medium. Transactional information is also protected near real time. Daily transactions are automatically sent to an alternate system (or Vault).

Backup and Save Software (Disk to Disk)

Vault is an automated (disk-to-disk or disk-to-tape) backup and recovery solution that optionally does away with the need for doing tape backups on a company's production system. It efficiently offloads object backups and saves to a local system, remote platform, or a central data center (or vault).
This solution eliminates the following:

• Downtime for backups and saves
• Labor-intensive manual intervention - tape manipulation
        - Week-end onsite monitoring or support
        - Tape mounting/dismounting
        - Offsite to/from transportation (lock-box) service
        - Cost of tape medium replacement or supplies
• Recovery errors associated with traditional tape solutions
• Lost data in the event of a system failure or disaster
• Lost data in the event it is inadvertently cleared or corrupted

Disaster Recovery (Point-in-Time)

On top of the tremendous benefit of eliminating downtime usually required for tape saves, iTera Vault can restore your system to the point in time the system fails or is damaged in a disaster. Vault's exclusive technology works with IBM's OS to perform ongoing protection. This product efficiently transports transactional changes that occur between saves because it continually offloads transactions, on a near real time basis, to an alternate system (or vault). Normally, if you were doing tape saves and had a disaster or system failure in the middle of the day, you would lose all of the transactions since your last successful tape save. With iTera Vault's protection you can eliminate days or weeks of manually reconstructing data.

iTera Vault Features:

• Eliminates daily downtime during backups or save
• Sends and stores daily saves to an alternate system whether it is local, remote or at a central data center (or vault)
• Sends near real time ongoing changes and transactions to any one of these target platforms:
        - Linux
        - Windows
        - UNIX
        - IBM System i5 (iSeries/AS400)
• Ensures complete saves of all designated objects (this can be disk-to-disk or disk-to-tape, whichever you prefer)
• Automatically recovers data to Point-in-Time prior to failure
• Recovers single objects or multiple objects when data is inadvertently cleared or corrupted
• Guides the operator through the object(s) or library(s) recovery process
• Complete integrity assurance through audits and real-time monitoring
• Enhances business continuity and audit compliance requirements

iTera Vault automates (lights out) daily backups and saves (disk-to-disk, disk-to-tape). The solution automates system recovery and restoration to point-in-time just prior to a disaster or system failure. There is a tremendous benefit of eliminating operational downtime during the backup/save process. Backups don’t need to be done in off hours. Now they can be done any time during the workday and they won’t impact ongoing operations.

Finally, small and large organizations can enjoy the benefits of a great disaster recovery solution.
