No backup plan is complete without the ability to restore the entire system. The few providers of bare-metal restore (BMR) solutions, often called crash-recovery or system disaster recovery solutions, usually perform only a disk image backup of their servers. This not only requires the backup be restored to an identical disk of the same type, size and location, but also restores any filesystem corruption and file fragmentation that previously existed.
SBAdmin, on the other hand, provides Adaptable System Recovery (ASR) by rebuilding your AIX or Linux servers and desktops from the ground-up, giving you the flexibility to alter the configuration as needed to fit on virtually any hardware configuration. As this is all done through a simple menu-interface, you're not required to be a UNIX expert.
SBAdmin is far more than a disk imaging product:
Disaster Recovery - Disasters range from hurricanes to water leaks and require the replacement of the entire system - hardware and software. SBAdmin can get up up and running faster, more completely and easier than any other product on the market.
Cloning (Replicating) Systems - When you have a need to install many similar systems, why take the time to install from the original distribution media, install all applications, apply updates, configure users, devices and more? Having a single backup that can clone onto multiple systems will save incredible time and money!
Hardware Migration - Having a system backup that will recover your Linux or AIX server exactly as it was is great - assuming you can be sure the replacement hardware is exactly the same. And what if you just want to upgrade your hardware? Not a problem with SBAdmin.
Software Storage Migration - Is your system configured for the best system and data availability, recoverability and performance? Chances are, it was installed using the default settings for the distribution. Only SBAdmin can reinstall a system from scratch, while allowing you to migrate from disk-based partitions to LVM or Software RAID, change filesystem types, locations and sizes, add disk striping, and much more!
