zFiler Backup Manager


We say it over and over again, "You can never have too many backups". The CIM-Data Backup Manager provides an easy way to set up manual or automatic database and other backups using NTBackup.exe, the native backup utility built into Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Backup Manager is compatible with a number of tape formats, CD and DVD, USB Drives, and other backup media.

DataCopy

In addition to regular backups, the Backup Manager can also make database copies. This is simply a copy of the database stored in a separate partition. Since tapes or other backup media can be taken offsite and be unavailable, or the wrong backup media can be returned, if the need ever arises to restore from a backup, restoring from a data copy is faster, simpler, more reliable, and more convenient. In addition, multiple datacopies can be made during the day and be even be copied to another machine or server offsite!

Automatic Backup Log Scanning

NTBackup.exe creates a long, detailed log file for each backup. Backup Manager scans this log for warnings and Errors, summarizes backup operations, and reports when warnings and errors occur. This can include popup boxes, automatic display of the summarized log file, or automatic printing of the summarized log file. Backup events are included in the server's event log.
