Only SBAdmin can rebuild your Linux system from the ground up,
including paritions, LVM, and Software RAID!
Linux provides numerous options for configuring storage, such as Logical Volume Management (LVM), Software RAID (metadisks), and numerous filesystem types. After a full system failure, recovering a server to its previous configuration can be quite a daunting task. Add a change in disk hardware to the mix, and you may experience days of downtime!
Data Versus System Recovery
SBAdmin for Linux can not only restore your user data, but can rebuild and restore your entire system.
While SBAdmin is a tape and disk backup management solution with many advanced features for managing your user data backup and restore strategy, it is the full system backup and recovery features that set us apart. Storix SBAdmin for Linux is the leader in Adapatable System Recovery (ASR) . This is the process to be able to perform hardware migration of the entire system (operating system and user data) onto different system and disk configurations. SBAdmin understands your Linux system and can individually backup and restore files, directories, filesystems, raw partitions, volume groups, raw logical volumes, software RAID devices or the entire system for use in disaster recovery. Backups can be archived to local or remote tape or disk.
Image Versus System Restore
Most bare-metal restore products for Linux create disk images that limit your ability to flexibly restore the system. SBAdmin records your system and storage configuration with each system backup. This information can then be used to rebuild the system from the ground up. Since we are rebuilding the system and not just copying a disk image, you can make changes to that configuration to restore onto completely different hardware.
Every detail, including the disk placement of partitions, logical volumes (LVM1 & LVM2) and RAID devices, filesystem types and attributes is retained. You can then change the configuration when reinstalling from a system backup to install onto different hardware or migrate to a different software storage configuration to increase flexibility, performance and availability!
No other software provider comes close to the flexibility and reliability of an SBAdmin backup!
SBAdmin supports virtually any Linux distribution including RedHat (RHEL and Fedora), SuSE (SLES and OpenSuse), Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva and Slackware, on the following hardware platforms:
- Intel 32-bit (x86) systems
- AMD64, EM64T, and x86_64 64-bit systems
- IBM System p (pSeries/RS6000) and System i (iSeries)
- IA64 Itanium II (HP Integrity)
