CYA HOTBackup File Manager, Documentum and EMC Centera - How they work: Customers using the Documentum ECM platform, EMC Centera and CYA HOTBackup File Manager solution gain an end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. for managing and protecting their enterprise content, while ensuring business continuity. CYA HOTBackup's power lies in its unique ability to quickly restore a content object and its relationships into the production repository. No other backup/restore application can perform this type of application-aware restoration. The speed of the restoration of objects is predicated on CYA HOTBackup sets being available on disk. Over time, some organizations may find it prohibitive to keep all of their CYA HOTBackup backup sets on disk. One solution is to backup older CYA HOTBackup backup sets to tape, using traditional tape backup Using magnetic tape for storing duplicate copies of hard disk files. Users can add an internal or external tape drive to their desktop computers for backup purposes, and files are typically copied to the tapes using a backup utility that updates on a periodic schedule. . Using tape backup introduces a time-consuming process for restoring older objects whose information resides on tape as opposed to disk. The optimal solution is to move CYA HOTBackup backup sets to EMC Centera, instead of tape. This disk-to-disk (D2D (Disk-to-Disk) Typically refers to backing up data on disks rather than on tape. Disk-to-disk backup systems provide a very fast restore capability compared with tape backup. See D2D2T and virtual tape. ) solution is achieved using CYA HOTBackup File Manager and EMC Centera. Through CYA HOTBackup File Manager features, older CYA HOTBackup backup sets are moved to the Centera cluster, freeing up primary storage, and ensuring the ability to quickly restore an object without the time consuming process inherent in tape backups. Additional features of CYA HOTBackup File Manager include: -- Execution of the CYA HOTBackup backup set migration process on a scheduled basis -- Specification of configuration parameters for CYA HOTBackup backup set migration, retrieval and purge operations -- Identification of files within the CYA HOTBackup backup set that are candidates for migration -- Deletion of CYA HOTBackup backup set files from primary storage once they have been successfully copied to long-term storage About CYA Technologies CYA Technologies, Inc. is the leading provider of business continuity and secure-collaboration solutions for Fortune 2000 companies.
