Advantages of the SEP sesam Database & Groupware Online Modules over Vendor solutions
When would you use an online database module from SEP sesam?
You can back up data within the file system, however this is not the best solution. SEP sesam online backup modules have many advantages over standard backup strategies provided by Oracle, DB2, Informix SAP R/3, MaxDB and others.
The standard offer from these companies does not provide the automation that SEP sesam Online Modules deliver. A major disadvantage when using the standard packages provided, is the time it takes to restore data once it has been lost or destroyed.
SEP sesam Online Modules offers the following advantages:
- Inclusion in the SEP sesam Scheduling Routines.
- The application of EOL Strategies
- An extension of archival and restore for Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T).
- In the event of recovery or restore, sesam uses ideal safety measures.
- At any time you can view the available backup security settings in the Database Management Console. The Database communicates with SEP sesam.
- Point-in-Time Recovery allows the transfer of only the required data by SEP sesam.
- No file system overwriting; the backup does not take place on the client computer.
- No file system overwriting caused by the redologs; they are deleted automatically after the backup (Truncate).
- Prevents Single Point of Failure, since the Backup Server is in a separate virtual backup location.
- Disaster Recovery is dealt with by the system and is, therefore, more easily controlled.
- After a new installation of the Database, the data is kept on a current basis with SEP sesam and allows either a full system (database) recovery or a Point-in-Time Recovery up to the last database action, as long as the Onlinelog is available.
- The maintenance of the backups, both online and offline, and the Redologs are considerably more simple.
- The backup security status is displayed and the system manager is notified when problems arise.
