* NetVault: Backup 8.0
Data protection vendor Bakbone Software last week introduced a new version of its NetVault: Backup 8.0 product that offers continuous data protection capabilities.
NetVault: TrueCDP lets customers set recovery point objectives for Windows and Linux file servers. Instead of doing scheduled backup, IT administrators can allow the system to be backed up every second of the day, if necessary. NetVault: TrueCDP is integrated with NetVault: Backup 8.0.
NetVault: Backup 8.0 also adds a virtual tape library (VTL) function to the network and the ability to restart backups. It also includes support for backing up Sun Cluster, Fujitsu Primecluster and Symentec’s Veritas Cluster Manager.
Further NetVault: Backup 8.0 can manage clients and servers to be backed up across corporate firewalls. It also now supports Network Appliance’s ShadowTape. The software now enforces password changes and encrypts copies of backups.
The product works in Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and Solaris environments and comes in three models – Workgroup, DataCenter and Enterprise. Each has optional VTL capability. The Workgroup model supports as many as 3TB or 12 devices; the DataCenter supports as much as 10TB and 24 devices; and the Enterprise model supports an unlimited about of data and drives.
Additional optional modules for Oracle, SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Lotus Notes, DB2, Sybase and Teradata are available.
