Help/Systems' Robot/SAVE

Domino users take note: Backups are easier thanks to Help/Systems Inc.'s newest version of Robot/SAVE.

With Robot/SAVE's new Domino Online Backup, you can back up your Domino servers while they're active and files are in use. Your users don't need to sign out of their e-mail program, and you have the ability to recover vital data up to the time of the last saved transaction, whether you are restoring an individual mailbox, a Domino database or your entire server.

"The Robot/SAVE product is a very powerful and automated solution providing both tape management and backup/recovery function," one judge said. "The addition of the Domino Online backup feature is a great new feature for the Domino users that require a 24x7 operation."

In terms of functionality, our judges called Robot/SAVE state of the art and "a leader in backup and recovery on iSeries/i5." In addition to Domino Online Backup, Robot/SAVE provides automatic backup, guided restoration, a tape management system, data center management, object archive and object list management, and disaster planning.

The judges also praised Robot/SAVE's easy installation and integration into existing environments. It is loaded on to the system from CD and immediately guides you through installation. The Robot/GUIDE feature of Robot/SAVE helps you quickly define the rules for automating your backups. Robot/GUIDE also walks you through step by step how to define a safe approach to system backups.

When it comes to restoring data, Robot/SAVE guides you through complete system restores, including restoring individual objects from the IFS, library system and document system.

These days, when we all have too many things to do, Robot/SAVE is there to help automate at least some of your procedures so you can focus on other projects.
