Also, the usual add-ons enable databases to be backed up and provide for quick and easy disaster recovery.
Installation kicks off on the system that is going to host the storage database.
You can only back up to tape, however, with support for CD writers and other disk-based devices not expected until later in the year. During installation, a special storage management zone is configured to which other servers and workstations can be joined. This zone enables them to be included in any backup jobs, on top of which, tape drives attached to those systems can be used to store data. However, it's a drawback of this release that the installation routine has to be re-run on each member system and there is no simplistic way of automating this process. Again, the developer, NovaStor, is aware of this and a new, more automated, install routine is planned for the future.
