System Backup for Linux

While SBAdmin for Linux is an advanced tape and disk backup management solution, it has the ability to completely rebuild a system, from bare-metal, that distinguishes SBAdmin from competing products. SBAdmin includes Adaptable System Recovery (ASR), which provides the unique ability to recover an entire Linux system and install it onto the same or dissimilar hardware.

Linux provides various options for configuring storage and your disaster recovery solution must understand these options in order to reliably restore the system from bare-metal. SBAdmin's ASR fully supports the various storage configurations provided by Linux and allows you to make changes to the configurations during system recovery. For this reason, SBAdmin is also an ideal solution for hardware migration and provisioning/cloning scenarios.
