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 to backup data within the file system 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.
Standard offers from many companies fail to provide the automation that the SEP sesam Online Module can deliver. The amount of time it takes to restore data once it has been lost or destroyed using a standard package can be substantial and result in valuable resources lost.
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)
- SEP sesam undertakes great safety measures in the event of recovery or a restore to ensure data integrity.
- The database communicates directly with SEP sesam and, at any time, the Database Management Console provides a view of the available security backup settings.
- Point-in-Time Recovery allows the transfer of only required data from SEP sesam.
- No file system overwrite; the backup does not take place on the client computer.
- No file system overwrite caused by the redologs, which 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 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,so far 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.
