The Gartner Group says over 50% of disaster recovery attempts fail.  This happens even when all the backups succeed.  Our new whitepaper details over 25 different ways this can happen.

In your enterprise, things change constantly.  Your annual DR test is probably invalid a week later.

“We have seen time and time again that most enterprises can not guarantee recovery from backups.” -- Jonathan Jeans, CPP Associates.


Proof positive.

Now, Tivoli Storage Manager sites can automate and schedule regular recovery tests, and be 100% certain that business applications are truly protected!

ART

SMARTtsm

Sweeps your entire site for problems.

Guarantees success for Tier 1 servers.

ART runs sample restores on your entire TSM site.  Each and every computer you back up gets tested.  ART finds:

  • backups not done for months
  • unusable tape volumes
  • excluded disk drives

and more.   These problems are usually easy to fix - once you find them. 

ART has uncovered restorability problems at every production site it has tested.

ART also finds wasted storage that you can reclaim for immediate cost savings.

ART is a simple, affordable way to boost your site's recoverability, and reduce storage costs as well.

SMARTtsm looks at one particular machine, not your entire TSM site.  It tests Windows servers: Exchange, Oracle, etc.  Its comprehensive tests:

  • recover the Windows System Object, the files and the TDP backup of the application.
  • restart Exchange (or Oracle, or MSSQL, ...)
  • compare against the production server for validity. 

SMARTtsm gives you definitive proof that you can successfully recover that particular Tier 1 server.  And it tells you exactly how long that recovery took!  No more surprises.

ART's trial is full-featured, but only tests 20% of your site. 

SMARTtsm's 30-day trial requires a Windows 2003 Server running MSSQL, backed up to TSM with the TDP agent.
