Description:

Backup Express is an enterprise-wide backup and restore system that operates in UNIX (all versions), Windows NT/2000 and NetWare environments. Its distributed architecture gives it the flexibility to optimize network usage by sending backup data over only specifically designated segment(s) of a network. At the same time, it provides centralized control of all backup and restore functions with a single catalog accessible through an intuitive, point-and-click graphical interface on any UNIX or Windows node with TCP/IP. Backup Express allows multi-hosting -- multiple servers directly connected to tape library drives with individual SCSI or fibre channel connections - so that vast amounts of data can be streamed simultaneously with little or no network impact. It also provides full support for all of the leading automated tape libraries, as well as SANs (storage area networks), NAS (network attached storage) appliances, and NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol). Other significant features include comprehensive scheduling, reporting, and integrity checking. Backup Express also supports online backup for Oracle, SAP, MS Exchange, Lotus Notes, SQL Server, Informix, and Sybase. All of this is backed by the finest technical support in the industry, which includes Syncsort's unique Install-By-Phone (IBP) program. **A Windows 2000 Magazine benchmark test found Backup Express to be 25% faster than any other multi-platform backup/restore product tested.
