Disasters can range from a hurricane to a water leak and can effect a single system or an entire site. Whatever the cause and scope of the disaster, the consequences are the same in that you no longer have the system, losses are mounting, and productivity is suffering.

Your disaster recovery plan today may be to re-install the operating system from the original media, apply any patches, install third-party applications, reconfigure applications, and then restore the system's data. This can be very time consuming, inefficient, and costly if you are unable to recover the system as it was before. If your plan is a disk-image backup product, you are restricted to the using the exact same hardware during the recovery process. Often, a duplicate of the original hardware is not available when disaster strikes.

SBAdmin is designed to provide bare-metal recover for AIX, Linux, and Solaris systems in their entirety, quickly and reliably so that you are able to resume operations with minimal downtime and effort. SBAdmin will do so in such a manner that you may restore the system to the same, similar, or completely different hardware. This process is called Adaptable System Recovery.
