BakBone SnapMirror to Tape Plugin Module sales & service by Abtech Systems

Network Appliance's SnapMirror Software provides many benefits, including:
  • reduced backup and recovery windows
  • instant access to mission-critical data
  • file system replication at a local or remote site

That's why NetVault®: Backup SnapMirror to Tape is so valuable.

Working in conjunction with SnapMirror technology, the NetVault: Backup SnapMirror to Tape plug-in extends the benefits of SnapMirror by enabling full volumes on filers to be mirrored and backed up to tape.  Tape mirror copies can be used as an alternative transport mechanism to provide long-term, off-site archival storage for mirrored volumes.

The benefits of SnapMirror to Tape are even greater when it is combined with NetApp's Snapshot Technology. Snapshots provide a backup function that allows user and application data stored on a filer to be backed up with virtually no service disruption. Snapshots are stored on the same filer as the data being protected, to provide a fast method of data recovery under normal circumstances.

SnapMirror to Tape can be used to back up filer volumes containing snapshots on a periodic basis for disaster recovery purposes. In a disaster scenario where the entire filer is lost, your customers can recover snapshots quickly from tape to ensure minimal interruption to operations.
