Advantages of the SEP sesam Database & Groupware Online Modules over Vendor solutions

 

When would you use an online database module from SEP sesam?

The ability exists to backup the data within the file system but this is less than an ideal 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 offerings from these companies fails to provide the automation that SEP sesam Online Module deliver. A major downfall when using the standard packages provided is the time it takes to restore data once it has been lost or destroyed.

Specifically 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 the sesam uses the ideal safety.
  • From the Database Management Console provides at any time a view of the available security backup settings. The Database communicates with SEP sesam.
  • Point-in-Time Recovery, allows the transfer of only the required data from SEP sesam.
  • No file system overwrite since the backup does not take place on the client computer.
  • No file system overwrite casued by the redologs, since they are deleted automatically after 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 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, so far as the Onlinelog is available.
  • The maintenance of the backups both online and offline and the Redologs are considerably simpler.
  • The backup security status are displayed and notify the system manager when problems arise.
