UltraBac Software Releases UltraBac Version 8.1; New Version Boasts an Enhanced User Interface, Expanded Media Library Support, and Ease-of-Use Features.BELLEVUE, Wash. -- UltraBac Software (www.ultrabac.com) today released an update to the company's popular backup and recovery software solution. UltraBac version 8.1 boasts an enhanced user interface, expanded media library support, and several new ease-of-use features. New user interface features in UltraBac v8.1 make scheduling backups and reviewing jobs easier and more intuitive to navigate. A new 'Future' pane in the built-in scheduler allows users to view and edit backup jobs of any UltraBac managed server or workstation from one central site. Furthermore, a new 'History' pane allows users to query backup logs for specific types of backups. The user can select backups that occur on certain hosts, by date range, or by other criteria. UltraBac then displays the results in an easy to view color-coded pane, allowing the user to more easily coordinate and organize all backups from a single location. Media libraries are further supported in this release with new compatibility for UltraBac Software's popular UltraCopy Agent. UltraCopy, an optional cost agent, has also been updated in v8.1 to support media spanning in autoloaders and libraries. UltraCopy is most frequently used as a strategic tool for implementing an off-site disaster recovery plan. Simply put, UltraCopy enables customers to copy or move backups from one medium to another as a secondary job. It can consolidate multiple disk or tape backups to virtually any other removable storage medium. UltraCopy can be considered a two-stage utility for accomplishing either disk-to-tape or tape-to-tape operations because it can be run anytime after the original backup. For example, when an end user performs daily snapshots of critical servers to an online resource such as a SAN or NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular device it allows instant access for a bare metal 1. bare metal - New computer hardware, unadorned with such snares and delusions as an operating system, an HLL, or even assembler. Commonly used in the phrase "programming on the bare metal", which refers to the arduous work of bit bashing needed to create these basic tools recovery operation, but does not afford protection against a physical disaster. Using UltraCopy, all the individual snapshot backups can be scheduled for a routine copy operation that concatenates them all to one or more tapes for off-site storage, thus providing full disaster recovery protection. When compared to standard backup software See backup program. (tool, software) backup software - Software for doing a backup, often included as part of the operating system. Backup software should provide ways to specify what files get backed up and to where. , UltraCopy is unique because it creates a new restore index on the media, totally eliminating the two-stage restore requirement that standard backup software normally requires. UltraBac and UBDR UBDR Ultrabac Disaster Recovery Pro/Gold customers can mount and access UltraCopy generated media to perform direct and immediate restores for either file level or image based bare metal disaster recoveries.
