Microlite Corporation Introduces RecoverEDGE for SCO UnixWare 7 Aliquippa, PA - Oct 22, 1999 Microlite Corporation is pleased to
announce the availability of RecoverEDGE for UnixWare 7 , the first fully integrated, configurable crash recovery solution for the UnixWare 7 operating system.First demonstrated at SCO Forum 1999 on August 16,
1999, RecoverEDGE for UnixWare 7 includes bootable CD-ROM and HP-OBDR? bootable tape recovery options for the first time in any UnixWare based recovery product. RecoverEDGE for UnixWare 7
works along with the award winning BackupEDGE Data Archiving System to provide four major benefits to users and administrators:
- Crash Recovery - downed systems can be restored to service in two simple steps: solve the problem that caused the crash; boot the RecoverEDGE media (diskette, CD-ROM or OBDR tape), reconfigure filesystems and
restore all the data from a BackupEDGE backup.
- System Reconfiguration - RecoverEDGE allows users to easily replace hard drives if they've outgrown old ones, or to resize filesystems to reallocate space.
- Disk Optimization - RecoverEDGE makes it easy to erase fragmented data and restore files in a contiguous, optimally accessible manner.
- Remote Access to Crashed Systems - administrators may connect to systems via telnet or modem from anywhere in the world, even when the hard disk is not bootable.
Major Features - RecoverEDGE for UnixWare 7 (release 7.1.0 or later):
- No "image" or "special" backups required. Crash Recovery is performed using live BackupEDGE attented or unattended system backups.
- Create bootable recovery floppy diskettes, HP-OBDR bootable backup tapes, or bootable CD-ROMs, locally or across the network.
- Full, friendly user interface - no shell prompts required.
- System discovery process detects required and available kernels and libraries automatically.
- Recognizes, configures and recovers all disk devices on all host adapters.
- Enhanced partition interface allows easy drive configuration without being an FDISK or slice table expert.
- Filesystems may be switched across hard disks 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 diskettes and take over a disaster recovery session from anywhere in the world.
