“Storix has long established itself as the leader in system recovery for UNIX and Linux. Our customers have typically ranged from small business owners, backing-up single partition filesystems; to Fortune 500 customers composed of data centers backing-up hundreds of VMs to local and remote servers,” says Anthony Johnson, President and CEO of Storix, Inc. “The new Enterprise System Recovery features within the SBAdmin version 7 will allow Storix to better serve Enterprise customers requiring system recovery across multiple lines of business through a single, easy to manage enterprise-ready solution.”

SBAdmin offers central management and secure web-based, command-line or graphical user interface options for daily backup management combined with the most complete Adaptable System Recovery (ASR) process available on the market today. The simple ASR process adapts a backup to the hardware detected during installation, rebuilding the new system to the same state as the prior system. The complete restore from bare-metal can be managed locally or remotely and can take just minutes. If the software detects differences between the backup and newly detected hardware, it will make recommendations such as selection of new disks or automated shrinking of filesystems.

Optional features include IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) integration and backup data encryption with simplified key management. SBAdmin supports Solaris SPARC and x86/x64, all Intel-based (x86/Pentium), IBM pSeries (32/64-bit) and HP Itanium 2 systems.
