Storix® Announces Significant Update to System Backup Administrator
San Diego – April 2, 2013 – Storix, Inc., the leader in Linux and Unix system recovery solutions today announced the general availability of System Backup Administrator 8.1.1.0 (SBAdmin).

With additional driver support included in RHEL 6.4, customers are now able to get improved virtual guest performance for VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V deployments. With SBAdmin, customers can use a single product for the backup and bare-metal recovery of both their physical and virtual systems.
Notable New Features
• Support for UEFI-based hardware
• Bootable system backup disks larger than 2TB
• Integration with Tivoli Storage Manager v6.4.0.0
• Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux v6.4
About SBAdmin
SBAdmin provides Adaptable System Recovery (ASR), the ability to rebuild Linux, Solaris, or AIX systems from bare-metal, giving customers the flexibility to alter the configuration as needed to fit onto any hardware or virtual configuration.
