STORIX System Backup Administrator TSM Edition

Storix System Backup Administrator (SBA) is a graphical interface for administration of various types of backups of AIX systems. System Backup Administrator is available in different configurations, providing options for standalone system, and centrally network administered network backups. System Backup Administrator was designed not only to backup data files to a network server, but to also provide the ability to reinstall a complete system from scratch while providing the flexibility needed to restore the backup onto a different hardware environment.

SBA was designed to perform the difficult task of recovering an AIX system that other backup products avoid. Unlike other AIX recovery and "bare-metal restore" options, SBA understands your AIX system and configuration. You can perform volume group and raw logical volume backups, convert file systems from JFS to JFS2, and even completely re-customize your system during the system installation process to match your hardware if necessary. SBA was also designed with the IBM SP customers in mind. In fact, it was the complaints by SP customers over the lack of an adequate system backup and recovery process that SBA was first conceived.
