Statement of Capabilities

Types of Backup Available with TiBS Lite
Network Full Backup : A type of Full Backup that copies Primary Storage on a target system over a network to Secondary Storage. The TiBS Lite Version requires an initial Network Full Backup but then eliminates the need for future periodic Network Full Backups. More...
True incremental Backup: A special type of Direct or Network Partial Cumulative Incremental Backup. A True incremental backup will only backup the files that have been modified or created since the most recent backup from the client. Note: The last client backup could be at any level. More...
Network Synthetic Cumulative incremental Backup: This unique type of backup takes a True incremental backup from a backup client and consolidates it with previous Cumulative Incremental backup data on a backup server to produce a new Cumulative Incremental backup. More...
Synthetic Full Backup: A type of Full Backup that consolidates Incremental Backups with a previous Full Backup to produce a current Full Backup. This process is performed by a backup system with no interaction with the target system. The resulting backup volume contains the same data as one that would have been taken from the target system at that period in time. More...
TiBS Lite Supported Platforms
The True incremental Backup System is enterprise network backup system software for large distributed processing environments. TiBS has support for AIX, BSD_OS, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Mac OSX, NetBSD, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. TiBS has support for a variety of network file systems including OpenAFS and NFS. NAS and SAN storage solutions are also available. More...
Unique Pricing Model
Teradactyl believes that a simplified pricing model our customers understand is important in earning your business and permitting you to plan for the future with us. We quote our prices using the following process:
1. Select a Version of TiBS. Basic, Lite and Full version options provide you with solutions to meet your current needs. We apply 100% of your software purchase price to version upgrades! More...
2. Determine the types of operating & network file systems you wish to backup. Teradactyl has no per seat charges or surcharges for workstations or servers. All supported versions of Linux, for instance, are included as a single platform. Simply select your client platforms! More...
3. Determine the number of backup processes. Adding backup processes will permit you to transfer more True incremental changes in parallel from your clients to the backup system. In general, the more processes you deploy the faster you will complete the network backup window. Adding processing power allows you to support more data or contract backup windows. More...
4. Choose a storage module. Disk and Tape Library software modules are licensed per TiBS backup server at a flat fee regardless of capacity. You can increase storage as required without paying additional software license fees unless you add additional backup servers. Choose Disk Backup, Tape Backup, or use both technologies to leverage the advantages of each while mitigating the risks of either one alone. More...
5. Add Open Transaction Manager if you wish to backup open files on Microsoft Windows More...
6. Select your annual software maintenance plan. These plans are a fixed percentage of your software purchase price. A variety of plans are available to suit your needs. More...

Enterprise Backup with No Per Seat Charges!
TiBS Lite Version Enterprise Backup

The Lite Version of the True incremental Backup System has the capabilities of most other full version enterprise network backup systems. Subsequent to an initial full backup of target systems, only daily True incremental file changes are required to be transferred across the network. These True incremental changes can be synthetically consolidated on the backup server to create new full backup volumes. This two level synthetic backup consolidation process permits expedient restore times. Restores are a single pass and are, therefore, not subject to the delays and other problems associated with multi-pass approaches.

Key Features of TiBS Lite
Eliminates periodic full network backups. After an initial full backup, only True incremental backup volumes are transferreed across the network. TiBS Lite can consolidate those changes on the backup server with other data already in the backup system to produce full backup volumes without network intervention.
Synthetic Backup Consolidation of True incremental network backups to create Full Backup Volumes entirely offline.
Parallel transfer of True incremental changes over the network. Sites can control the network backup window by adding more processes to simultaneously transfer data from systems to TiBS backup servers.
Choose between disk, tape, or combined data storage modules. Storage is licensed per backup server regardless of capacity.
Single Pass Restores! Competitive products will usually restore a full volume and sequentially apply incremental backup volumes in order. This process is both time consuming and can restore data intentionally deleted since the last full backup. For many institutions, this is resulting in potential regulatory or security implications. TiBS will quickly and efficiently restore only the required files in a single pass operation.
Automatic verification of tape volumes as they are merged. TiBS has both automated and on demand audit functions to closely monitor data integrity.
Redundancy of synthetic full backup consolidations. TiBS has built in redundancy for volumes created with our synthetic backup consolidation technology. Additional redundancy can be created via disk or tape mirroring.
Multiple levels of data integrity verification. All versions of TiBS include extensive tools for monitoring read, write, and network transfer operations to more quickly detect and isolate problems affecting backup system operations and data integrity.
100% of software purchase price is applied to cost of TiBS Full Version Upgrades. Both capacity and capabilities of the backup system can be upgraded as required.
