• Archival of database files, database file members, or documents
• Migration of stream files between various storage media
• Transparent access to migrated or archived data from applications
• Automatic movement of data, based on system policies
• Support for tape automation and ADSM server storage to provide unattended
operations
AS/400 Application Client for ADSM allows BRMS to backup or archive low-volume AS/400
user data on any ADSM server, including another AS/400, RS/6000, S/390, or 3466 Network
Storage Manager. BRMS can also be used on multiple AS/400 systems with shared inventory
support, which allows objects saved from one system onto ADSM server storage to be
restored to another AS/400 system managed by the same ADSM server. For information
related to Client to ADSM, see “Positioning BRMS Application Client to ADSM” on page 623.
BRMS/400 provides interfaces that enable the customer to use it with other facilities that
provide scheduling, distribution, and verification services.
Backup Recovery and Media Services for AS/400 supports the backup, recovery, and
archiving of integrated file system data. This allows users to specify directories on their PCs
and other systems, as well as on their AS/400 system. BRMS/400 can recover from
media-related errors while using tape automation, improving unattended operations. Hot-site
recovery allows the replication of media content information on one or more systems in a
BRMS/400 shared inventory network that enables those systems to act as data recovery
centers.
BRMS is structured to allow the addition of functions and features incrementally as business
needs change and grow. There are three options to build a full function BRMS system:
• BRMS Standard
BRMS Standard offers many of the base functions that AS/400 users need to implement a
fully automated, single system, backup, recovery, and media management strategy at a
lower cost. The Standard product offers an unlimited number of media, using shared tape
devices, automated taped libraries, and ADSM servers.
The standard BRMS product backs up a single library or single QSYS.LIB object in
parallel across any number of tape devices. Parallel backup with its easy-to-use interface,
lets you shorten backup windows by simply using more tape devices. Using parallel
backup, with an automated tape library device, you can save a large library, for example,
to all currently available tape resources. This function reduces the administration involved
in setting up a backup strategy by eliminating the need for an administrator to design a
strategy based on the current number of devices and independent of the current objects.
With BRMS Standard, you can control BRMS interfaces. The interface allows
administrators to secure the setup and function of BRMS from users not skilled in the
