TRT and TSM FastBackTRT & TSM FastBack, providing Enterprise-Wide Data Back-up & Recovery For Less Than $100* per day

In a whirl wind tour across the eastern seaboard, Cameron Huysmans, TRTs Technical Services Manager presented a series of breakfast seminars explaining how TRT & TSM FastBack can create a powerful data back-up and rapid recovery solution that spans your key UNIX & Windows environment and remote offices for less than $100* per day.

Cameron Huysmans explains "TSM FastBack gives you the power to quickly restore any amount of Windows data, anywhere in the organisation, from any previous point-in-time, no matter what happens to cause a data loss". The TRT, TSM Fastback offering is made up of 3 main components:

  1. IBM TSM FastBack for disk-based, block-level, incremental data capture and near-instant data restore.
  2. IBM TSM FastBack for Microsoft Exchange providing incremental data capture and instant data restore for any e-mail objects such as a message, attachment, calendar entry, contact, task or note.
  3. IBM TSM FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery providing restoration of an OS volume on dissimilar hardware in under 1 hour.

As Cameron Huysmans noted "One of the great features of FastBack is its ability to quickly recover data without the need to go to back-up tapes. When you consider that 80% ** of corporate data loss can be attributed to common day-to-day issues of human error (33%), software corruption/crashes (25%) and viruses (22%), this ability to instantly recover data, provides a cost effective and minimal disruption solution to keep your business running at peak performance."

In addition to instant recovery of lost data, the FastBack solution can be extended to provide a centralised and automated back-up & recovery strategy for remote offices. Given that 35% to 65%*** of corporate data is held at remote offices and more than 50% of remote data restores fail the integration of the head office and remote office back-up & recovery process brings with it a high level of comfort and security regarding data protection.
