OmniBack II 4.0 News 2 Newest Features of OmniBack II 4.0 Significantly improved internal database scalability & performance One unified GUI across all platforms (Windows, HP-UX) NDMP support for direct disk-to-tape backup (Netapp) Integration with EMC Fastrax Open File Manager for Windows2000 / NT and NetWare HP SureStore XP split-mirror solutions for Solaris and Windows2000 Support for MS Exchange 2000 incl Single Mailbox Restore Support for new devices: SuperDLT, LTO Ultrium

OmniBack II 4.0 News 3 IDB - Internal Database Benefits Breakthrough Scalability –Single point control for many more systems –Keep catalog data of many million files and many backup session for convenient restore browsing for a long time Much higher Performance –Less CPU load, higher insertion rate, less disk IO –Many more systems / disks can be backed up in parallel while tracking the catalog data for convenient restore browsing. Close to Maintenance free –Very low IDB administration effort (in average start purge once per year) –Very low system load for IDB maintenance High reliability & robustness –Convenient restores at any time –Backups on tapes are never doomed to bit garbage –Administrators can sleep well Easy Disaster Recovery –Even in case of a disaster the IDB can be restored to the point in time of the disaster Automated “on-line” migration –Easy migration from OmniBack II 3.x to 4.0

OmniBack II 4.0 News 8 OB 4.0 Database - Strengths Scalability –Number of file versions scales 7 times higher than OmniBack II 3.x (maximum tested configuration) –20 million file-names and 1 billion file-versions can be stored in the Internal Database (maximum tested and supported configuration, not a real hard limitation) –Significant less disk space required (now 24 bytes per file version compared to 64 bytes) –IDB can be distributed over multiple mount points / disks -> higher performance Higher performance –About 5 times faster writing to the Internal Database during backup allows 5 times more backup drives to be used in parallel –Cell Manager CPU load reduced by 90% –Significantly Faster Media Import (30 minutes to 1 hour instead of 5 hours (DLT 7000) for catalog details import of all objects from a full media) Less maintenance –File version purge in seconds instead of hours

OmniBack II 4.0 News 9 OB 4.0 Internal Database - Strengths are caused by Robustness & Transaction Logging –Semi-Automatic Complete IDB Disaster Recovery Quick internal database (IDB) consistency check before IDB backup Replay transaction logs of objects since the last IDB backup –Out of space handling Purge –File version purge frees disk space –File version purge (delete the media file [one file per media] in one step) -> seconds instead of hours –No database fragmentation caused by file version purge Fewer pointers –No Velocis database inherent forward and backward links for file versions –About 38 bytes pointer information saved per file version –Less IO -> More backup sessions in parallel are possible.

OmniBack II 4.0 News 10 OB 4.0 Database - Drawback Slight drop in restore browsing performance –However, the user can specify a search time interval which will make it faster Slight drop in search filenames performance –However, the user can specify a search time interval which will make it faster Cellmanager needs more memory –Min 256MB, Recommended is 512 MB. Adoption of many IDB utilities for file versions required –Important IDB maintenance tools need to be re-engineered IDB migration required

OmniBack II 4.0 News 11 OB 4.0 Database - Stress Free Migration from 3.x to 4.0 Semi-automatic / guided migration process Only 30 to 60 minutes OmniBack II downtime required About 15 hours for a 6 GB DB on-line (background) migration with OmniBack II up and running.
