Bacula Sybase Backup and Recovery Software

Bacula Systems Corp. announced its Sybase backup and recovery software.

Adding to its already range of integrated database technologies, the company continues to execute its strategy to deliver technologies that have a positive business impact for complicated and demanding enterprise IT environments.

To make life easier for Sybase administrators, this module makes the backup and restore operations of Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) faster and more convenient for users. The module is designed so that backup administrators do not need to learn about the internals of Sybase backup techniques or write complex scripts.

Main features of Bacula Enterprise Sybase backup module:

• Support for database backup and restore, cumulative database (incremental) backup and restore as well as database transactions backup and restore;

• Database backup levels that are mapped to Bacula Enterprise backup levels;

• All backup or restore operations managed by the backup administrator;

• Ability to restore any database backup to an alternate location

• Direct support of PITR (Point In Time Recovery) with database transaction restoration.

The module is available on 32 and 64-bit Linux platforms supported by Sybase and supports Sybase ASE 12.5, 15.5, 15.7 and 16.0.

“IT organizations are always looking for ways to improve efficiency while minimizing ownership cost. This new, natively integrated module will allow Sybase users to have better RTOs, and benefit from more efficient administration of their databases,” said Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula.

The company’s solution is a scalable, feature-rich and subscription-based solution featuring a modular design and built on an open-source foundation that allows organizations to custom fit for their IT infrastructure. Its licensing model allows users to backup and restore high data volumes at a lower cost than legacy, proprietary offerings. Technology features like snapshots, advanced deduplication, single file restores, single mailbox restores and data verification are all accessible in one platform that spans multiple environments including physical, virtual, container, hybrid and cloud. The firm’s Enterprise Sybase backup software also enables backups and restores using multiple stripes through a simple configuration setting.

“The launch of this new module reaffirms our commitment to become the most flexible single platform industry solution for backup and recovery. Further significant technology announcements will be coming within the next few days,” said Aristide Caraccio, VP, sales and marketing, Bacula.

The company’s customers include organizations and enterprises such as NASA, Tricore Solutions, Swisscom and Sky.
