This integration provides VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 customers with support for in-use files thereby eliminating the need to bring down a server to ensure safe and consistent backup of all files that are in use. The increased reliance on Windows NT and Windows 2000 as a business-critical platform has highlighted the need for secure and efficient handling of open files, making VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 with VERITAS Backup Exec Open File Option an invaluable solution for protecting information assets. OTM's disk/volume-based technology provides seamless backup of all in-use and open files and raw operating system transactions. Unlike products that operate on a file basis, OTM allows backup applications to run as a true background operation. With today's emphasis on non-intrusive data management, technologies such as OTM become an obvious choice for customers running 24x7x365 global operations. Because backups can be run at any time without the risk of missing open files or affecting system performance, the need for a specific "backup window" is now eliminated. The combination of OTM and VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 creates a backup solution featuring the highest performance and reliability available in the Windows NT and Windows 2000 markets. "The integration of Columbia Data Products' OTM into VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 as the Open File Option has allowed us to raise the bar for data protection by providing the first open-file backup solution for both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4 environments," said Michael Colemere, vice president of product management, VERITAS Software. "VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 is the leading Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4 backup and recovery solution worldwide."

Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output bandwidth from the backup application." Along with ensuring that VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 safely captures open files, OTM keeps all of the file, database, network, CPU, and I/O subsystem resources available to users on a priority basis during the backup by throttling the I/O. Monitoring and throttling the OTM and VERITAS Backup Exec process keeps system performance high, resulting in increased user productivity. "Our partnership with VERITAS Software validates our technology as a critical tool for today's backup customer," said Steve Guerra, General Manager of Columbia Data Products. "No Windows NT or Windows 2000 administrator would eliminate backup as a critical management task even though some applications can impede system performance, it's just too important. Administrators will not have to choose between keeping an application server online for users or protecting its data. With the combination of OTM and VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000, users can accomplish both. We are proud to partner with an industry leader such as VERITAS Software in providing such a solution."
