Concept & Facilities Guide

Overview

FDRSOS and FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS features extremely high-speed backup/restore for open systems SCSI/Fibre disk devices across ESCON/FICON channel connections. FDRSOS supports the EMC TimeFinder feature that reduces the downtime for open system backup to seconds.

UPSTREAM/SOS…LOGICAL BACKUPS

UPSTREAM/SOS provides FDRSOS users with logical file Backup/Restore support, Job Scheduling and Coordination between the mainframe and UNIX/LAN/PC Systems, Reporting and Administrative control.

UPSTREAM/SOS…INCREMENTAL BACKUPS

FDRSOS and UPSTREAM/SOS work together to provide a total backup solution for your LAN/UNIX systems.

UPSTREAM/SOS can determine if a file has changed and back it up through specially formatted disk volumes (local backup) shared by ESCON and SCSI channels. The backups can also remain on the local backup volume for immediate retrieval, or until the space is needed by a new backup.

FDRSOS & UPSTREAM/SOS…POINT IN TIME RECOVERY

Entire servers are easily recoverable.

User Experiences

"We use FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS to backup DB2 UDB and Lotus Notes databases. Support is always top notch in that the techs are very knowledgeable and professional, no matter if it's for a simple configuration issue or something like the next example. We had our first DB2 disaster recovery test for Intel and AIX platforms and it was a great success."

"FDRSOS is a real lifesaver when it comes time to recover data during DISASTER RECOVERY testing. We submit a single batch job that restores multiple volumes simultaneously and within an HOUR our E-mail database is restored and available."
