BACKUP, RECOVERY
& MEDIA SERVICES
for iSeries
Backup Recovery and Media Services for
iSeries is the IBM strategic solution for
planning and managing the backup of your
iSeries server.
BRMS provides the iSeries server with
support for policy-oriented setup and
execution of archive, backup, recovery,
and other removable-media-related
operations. BRMS uses a consistent set of
intuitive concepts and operations which
can be used to develop and implement a
backup strategy tailored to your business
requirements. The user interface is menudriven, with a significant number of
functions enabled through the optional
BRMS iSeries Navigator client, a plug-in to
iSeries Navigator.
BRMS facilitates centralized management
of media by maintaining a consistent view
of removable tape media, its contents,
location, and availability across multiple
iSeries servers or i5/OS partitions referred
to as networked systems. This common
media scratch pool contains shared tape
volumes which are eligible for use by any
participating networked system. When a
networked system uses one of the shared
volumes, that usage is broadcast to all
networked systems so that each system has
a current view of the active media, as well
as the available expired media.
