TiBS Product Advantages
 
Backup Advantages
Pricing Advantages
Restore Advantages
Eliminate Periodic Network Full Backups: After the initial full backup, only daily True incremental changes are required to be transferred across the network with Full & Lite Versions!
NO PER SEAT CHARGES! Operating & Network File System Licensing give you the freedom to add systems without the need to buy per seat licenses!
Backup Server Recovery Features: Recover a backup server from tape and restore a failed disk cache partition and a failed disk library array if TiBS is permitted to also store the data on tape.
Multi-Level Synthetic Consolidation: TiBS Full Version produces not only full synthetic consolidated volumes but intermediate level consolidations as well!
No Storage Capacity Charges! Robotic Tape Libraries & Disk Storage Arrays are licensed to the TiBS Backup Server(s) to permit added capacity without added cost!
Data redundancy: With TiBS, the last incremental backup is mirrored in backup server disk cache for rapid restore. In addition, failed lower level tape volumes can be regenerated by TiBS.
Inherent redundancy of synthetic backup volumes: TiBS architecture provides a means to reconstruct synthetic volumes damaged due to storage media failure!
No Additional Charges for Encryption! Secure authentication and encryption are provided free of charge with TiBS. Network transfer encryption can be turned on and off for each individual system!
True client restore: With TiBS there is no need to cull out files intentionally deleted on the target system by the user. These files are generally erroneously restored by most popular backup packages.
Server Side Disk Caching: Allows backups to run in parallel, even to a single tape device. Data is streamed from the backup cache to tape increasing tape compression and the amount of data stored on each tape.
100% of product purchase price is applied to upgrades! When you decide to upgrade we apply your software purchase price to your upgrade! Purchase just the version you need now!
Scalable File Index: Our efficient file index stores the location of every file on every tape ever generated by TiBS on the backup server. With TiBS there is no need to spend time reading the wrong tapes to find your data.
File Checksum Analysis: Tracks data as it moves through the backup system to ensure transfers are correct. Detects failing network hardware that improperly transmits data from backup clients.
Add processing power to each version as required! Parallel backup processes give you control of your backup window. Add processes as your requirements and budget dictate!
Single Pass Restore: TiBS efficiently transmits only the data that is required to complete a restore in a single session from any number of tapes, the disk library, or both as required.
Directory and Single File Backup: Allows for backup of critical information located in specific files or directories, not just entire file systems.
TiBS Process Pack Quantity Discounts: TiBS Backup Processes can be purchased in packs of 2, 5, 10, 25, & 100 reducing the price per process!
Restore a Sub-directory or Single File: Restore sub-directory or individual file data to an alternate backup client and/or an alternate restore path.
Broad Operating & Network File System support: TiBS supported platforms include OpenAFS, NFS, AIX, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, LINUX, Mac OSX, NetBSD, Solaris and Windows.
Department, Site, and System Enterprise licenses available! Purchase five (5) platform licenses and get all additional supported platforms free. Ideal for computer science departments, a college campus, or a university system.
Fast restore operations: TiBS has high speed restore capabilities with the TiBS Disk Library Interface. Alternatively, TiBS can stage data from tape to the backup server disk cache for faster restores to client systems.
Strong Encryption: Twofish symmetric key encryption protects data over unsecured networks. Available in 128, 192 and 256 bit key sizes.
Fixed cost maintenance plans: Software maintenance plans are a fixed percentage of product purchase price.
Bare Metal Recovery: TiBS has bare metal recovery available for Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris & Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, & 2003 Platforms
File Omission Rules: Remove swap files, temporary directories, Internet files or other unwanted data from backup.
Worth Every Penny: Teradactyl maintains a 100% customer retention rate! Our customer loyalty exemplifies the value!
Parallel restore processing: TiBS can restore multiple systems simultaneously with the appropriate hardware configuration!
Disk Management
Tape Management
TiBS Reporting
The DLI can store True incremental and full backup volumes on disk. The DLI also has the ability to store multiple-level synthetic cumulative incremental backups such as weekly or monthly consolidations on disk, a unique feature with TiBS.
Tape Library Automation: TiBS supports the automation of Fibre & SCSI-2 compliant robotic tape libraries with bar code support. Licenses are by backup server. No additional charges for additional tape devices or tape slots!
Client Backup Status Reporting: TiBS client reporting is configurable and includes information on skipped backups, network full backups, network incremental backups, merge backups, merge state, excessive file retry, client refused, active files, etc.
TiBS DLI available for all three versions: TiBS now has the Disk Library Interface (DLI) available for Full, Lite & the Small Bus. Edition.
Tape Mirroring: Writes to two tape devices simultaneously. Move one copy off-site and keep a local copy for restores.
Backup Server Reporting: TiBS clearly identifies backup server status, device status, backup & restore process status, and the last backup of the backup server!
Synthetic Consolidation Speed: The TiBS Disk Library Interface creates new synthetic backup consolidations more quickly than can be done from tape.
TiBS tracks individual tape usage: User can set number of times a tape can be reused.
Error Reporting: TiBS clearly identifies problems such as network read errors, path not found, bad access, client authentication, host unreachable, etc.
Synthetic Consolidation Speed: The TiBS Disk Library Interface creates new synthetic backup consolidations more quickly than can be done from tape.
Tape Management: TiBS can manage tapes to be removed from the library for on-site or off-site storage.
Tape Drive and Robotic Library Reporting: TiBS monitors the condition of robotic libraries and reports drive exceptions, cleaning conditions, absence of mirrored pair, available blanks, etc.
Restore individual files faster.
Automated Tape Cleaning.
Reports via E-mail and Online
File Accuracy: TiBS checksum analysis ensures that files are backed up and restored properly. Data transfer errors are quickly reported for problem resolution.
Tape repair process: TiBS can rebuild any failed lower level tape volume with data maintained in the True incremental Backup System.
Custom Reporting: TiBS reports are easily customized to uniquely serve your organization. Examples include last backup, new partition, host name resolution, etc.
Efficiency: TiBS Disk Library Interface will also allow shorter network backup windows and more data to be supported per TiBS backup server.
Disk to Disk to Tape architecture provides good compression and can keep up with the faster speed associated with modern tape drive technologies.
Cross Platform Restore Reporting: TiBS can restore data to alternate platforms. When these platforms don't support particular attributes, such as security ACL's they are clearly reported.
