SANTA CRUZ CA - SCO Forum1999 - August 16, 1999 Microlite Corporation today announced RecoverEDGEfor UnixWare 7
, the first fully integrated, configurable crash recovery solution for the SCO UnixWare 7 operating system. RecoverEDGE works along with the award winning BackupEDGE Data Archiving System
to provide three major benefits to UnixWare 7 users and administrators:
- Crash Recovery - downed systems can be restored to service in three simple steps
- Solve the problem that caused the crash.
- Boot the RecoverEDGE diskettes or CD-ROM and reconfigure filesystems
- Restore all the data from a BackupEDGE backup.
- System Reconfiguration - RecoverEDGE
allows the user to replace hard drives if you've outgrown your old ones, resize filesystems to reallocate space, or even replace host adapters quickly and easily.
- Disk Optimization - RecoverEDGE makes it easy to erase fragmented data and restore files in a contiguous, optimally accessible manner.
"Clients have told us repeatedly over the years that effective crash recovery is essential in the maintenance and support of mission critical systems. " said Frank Liberato
, Vice President of Software Engineering at Microlite Corporation. "RecoverEDGE places this indispensable capability in the hands of UnixWare 7 VARs, OEMs and system administrators for the first time."
Major Features - RecoverEDGE:
- No "image" backups required. Crash Recovery is performed using live system backups.
- Full, friendly user interface - no shell prompts required.
- System discovery process creates a custom kernel and detects required libraries.
- Recognizes, configures and recovers all disk devices on all host adapters.
- Enhanced partition interface allows easy drive configuration without being an expert at manipulating FDISK tables and UnixWare slices.
- Filesystems may be switched between hard drives easily. System files such as /etc/vfstab and /etc/swaptab are adjusted as necessary by RecoverEDGE.
- "One Touch Restore" rebuilds a system on same-sized or larger hard drives with minimum user intervention. Partitions will be scaled to fit the new drive automatically.
- Tape drives may be on the local system or installed anywhere on the network.
- Remote administrators can telnet or modem into the crash recovery media and take over a disaster recovery session from anywhere in the world.
- Users may make Crash Recovery Diskettes, or with a CD-R drive create a Crash Recovery CD-ROM.
- Support for Hewlett Packard One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) compatible tape drives is expected before the end of 1999.
