Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver SPD 41.55.02 Backup Server for OpenVMS VAX, Version 2.1; OpenVMS Alpha, Version 2.1; Description StorageWorks[R] Desktop Backup/Archiver provides high performance, easy- to-use, over-the-network backup and restore services for IBM[R]-compatible personal computers and Macintosh[R] systems to OpenVMS VAX and Alpha servers. The StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver product uses a client /server model to provide unattended backup of multiple client systems to one or more servers. It uses DECnet services provided by Digital Equipment Corporation's PATHWORKS product family. It may also use Ap- pleTalk[R] services provided by Apple Computer. StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver allows OpenVMS VAX or OpenVMS Al- pha systems running PATHWORKS to act as a backup server to networked clients running PATHWORKS for DOS, PATHWORKS for Macintosh, or run- ning AppleTalk networking software. The server is an OpenVMS VAX or Alpha platform with any directly attached tape and/or disk drive sup- ported by the OpenVMS operating system. For the list of supported tape and disk drives, refer to the OpenVMS VAX Operating System Software Product Description (SPD 25.01) or the OpenVMS Alpha Operating Sys- tem Software Product Description (SPD 41.87). Multiple clients on the network may be backed up by a single Desktop Backup/Archiver server system. The StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver server initiates client back- ups, writes and reads data to/from OpenVMS server-connected tape drives or disk drives, maintains backup schedules, and provides media man- agement facilities. DIGITAL October 1995 AE-PPKNH-TH StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver SPD 41.55.02 Backup Server for OpenVMS VAX, Version 2.1; OpenVMS Alpha, Version 2.1; The StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver server provides the follow- ing function for client systems: o Server-system backup process management o Backup job scheduling o Security o The server side of backup/restore services The StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver client software provides client backup functionality including: o Reading the local disk(s) o Sending files to the StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver server. o Receiving files provided by the StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver server to be restored to the local disk(s) o A graphical management console for centralized control of backup and restore operations and for local user control of backup and re- store operations. Clients are IBM or IBM-compatible PCs or Macintosh systems that have local disks with backup requirements. The backup client process may be initiated by the desktop system user or automatically by the soft- ware. A small portion of the client software is always present in the desktop system memory. This software listens to the network and starts the backup client program when requested by the server. Backups and restores can be initiated via the user interface. Microsoft Windows users and Macintosh users may run the client software in the background while still using the desktop system for other operations. Server Features o Network-based graphical user interface o Command line user interface for creating batch controlled processes o Supports a wide variety of VAX, Alpha, and HSC-connected tape drives o Allows backups to be directed to either tape or disk 2 StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver SPD 41.55.02 Backup Server for OpenVMS VAX, Version 2.1; OpenVMS Alpha, Version 2.1; o Backup scheduling capabilities, with automatic rescheduling o Backup library to record the location of data on tape volumes o Event logger to record events such as completed backups and errors o A security module to maintain lists of clients, users, passwords, and backup administrators, enhancing data privacy and security Client Features o Network-based graphical user interface o "Set once and forget" functionality for automatic networked-PC backup o Client-based backup scheduling o Access to Server History database to facilitate file restoration o Full and incremental backup o Files and directories can be specifically included or excluded from the backup process o Ability to restore disks which have accidentally been erased or have been replaced Network Transports StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver supports access to OpenVMS servers via DECnet. Macintosh systems can use either DECnet or AppleTalk trans- ports.

Note that if less than 65 character node names are used, it is pos- sible to run more than 60 Appletalk clients, with no DECNET clients attached. 5 StorageWorks Desktop Backup/Archiver SPD 41.55.02 Backup Server for OpenVMS VAX, Version 2.1; OpenVMS Alpha, Version 2.1; o When both DECNET and Appletalk clients are attached to the same server node, use the following formula to determine the maxi- mum number of clients that can be attached to a single server node: o (#DECNET Clients *7)+(#APPLETALK Clients *66) is Less Than or Equal To 3988 Server Hardware Requirements Server Disk Space Requirements: Disk space required for 20,000 blocks VAX installation: Disk space required for 15,000 blocks VAX use (permanent): Disk space required for 16,000 blocks Alpha installation: Disk space required for 15,000 blocks Alpha use (permanent): The above are storage requirements for disk space on the server sys- tem disk.
