NetVault®: Backup Application Data Protection

APM for Sybase

With the increasing size and number of Sybase applications comes the need for a reliable and easy to use solution that protects these important corporate assets. The Application Plugin Module (APM) for Sybase provides increased application availability via fast, online backup of Sybase databases. The APM for Sybase includes a wide variety of important features such as hot backup, support for multiple database servers on a single machine, advanced logging capabilities and a low-level backup Application Programming Interface (API) for maximized throughput.

Hot Backup

With the APM for Sybase, user databases remain online and fully accessible during backup operations, assuring zero downtime for users.

Supports Multiple Database Servers

The APM for Sybase displays and allows backup or restore operations to be executed on all available Sybase servers.

Selectable Database Backup Operations

Back up only what is needed with the APM for Sybase. An easy to use, point and click user interface provides precise tuning of the backup and restore sets.

Multiple Backup Modes

The APM for Sybase supports full, incremental and differential backup.

Logs Sybase Error Messages

When combined with NetVault: Backup, the APM for Sybase records all messages to private log files. During backup and recovery operations, NetVault: Backup, intercepts log messages related to the current job and sends a copy to the NetVault: Backup log so they can be displayed with other NetVault: Backup job messages.

Uses Low-level Backup API for Maximum Data Throughput

The APM for Sybase acts as a conduit between the proprietary backup API provided by Sybase and the core NetVault: Backup. This enables data to be transferred directly between Sybase and NetVault: Backup without any operating system mechanism such as pipes or temporary files and results in higher data throughput as compared to conventional backup systems.
