True incremental Backup System (TiBS)
Teradactyl's flagship product is the True incremental Backup System® (TiBS). TiBS is a software application that employs centralized servers for backup and recovery of computer systems operating under MacOSX, Microsoft® Windows®, most popular forms of UNIX®, Linux, NFS, and both OpenAFS and IBM AFS® (Andrew File System). Our unique patented synthetic backup consolidation technology, TeraMerge®, takes an initial full backup of the data on a client computer system and then only requires the transfer of data which is new or has changed since the previous backup to be sent across the network to the backup server. The TiBS backup server is capable of merging the incremental backup volumes with the existing backup data to create multiple lower level backups, including cumulative incremental, partial cumulative incremental, and consolidated full, backup volumes. This multiple level and multiple volume synthetic backup consolidation is performed entirely on the backup server without the need for network intervention. Periodic full network backups are not required to maintain expedient restore times. Our TeraMerge technology significantly reduces the impact of backup processing on both client computer systems and the network by eliminating the need for periodic full and lower level network backups. TeraMerge multi-level synthetic backup consolidations provide user control of tape costs and the granularity of data revisions in the backup system.

Storage for the True incremental Backup System

The True incremental Backup System (TIBS) disk cache is used as a staging area to consolidate backups and expedite transfer to the tape library(s). Data is streamed from the backup cache to tape resulting in faster write times and increased tape compression rates. This approach allows a greater amount of data to be stored on each tape, decreasing tape costs. Server side disk caching allows backups to run in parallel. The disconnected operations between client backups and the subsequent synthetic consolidation and tape writes, permits the backup administrator to run significantly more parallel backup operations than the number of tape drives in the robotic library. With adequate space in the backup server disk cache or the use of the TiBS Disk Library Interface (DLI), network backups can continue even if there are hardware problems with a tape library or tape drives. Tape Library automation provides the most efficient means for utilizing a servers' processing time each day. TiBS can process in excess of 90% of the backups entirely on the backup server. The server-only multi-level synthetic backup consolidation for processing Full and Lower Level backups has no impact on data networks or backup clients.

Teradactyl will be happy to assist clients and potential clients with information about robotic libraries and disk arrays. Drawing on our experience at our various client sites we can help you make important decisions on the implications of various storage systems. We DO NOT sell hardware or receive commissions on your hardware purchases but we DO have considerable experience with storage manufacturers and can help guide you in your selection process. Please remember QUALITY & SERVICE is as important as price. You are investing in a backup & disaster recovery system!
