Product positioning
IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager V2.1 is a new offering in the IBM Tivoli
Storage product family. It complements other offerings, such as IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager FastBack, by providing you with capabilities depending on your specific
application protection needs. Depending on infrastructure and application protection
environment, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager or Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack
may be the preferred solution.
The following are suggested guidelines for different environments.
Use Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager when:
• Application data snapshot capability is required for the IBM AIX platform.
• You have IBM System Storage with IBM FlashCopy and want to help protect
Microsoft Exchange data and Microsoft SQL data on the Microsoft Windows
platform with hardware-based snapshots.
• You have IBM System Storage with IBM FlashCopy and require the capability to
have near instant data restore from a local snapshot. Tivoli Storage FlashCopy
Manager is a logical add-on to IBM FlashCopy because it exploits the hardware
FlashCopy capability to help protect the applications.
Use Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack when:
• You have very stringent recovery point objectives (RPO) to achieve that require
block-level Continuous Data Protection (CDP) capabilities.
• You require the ability to access data immediately while restores are done in the
background (for example, Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack instant restore).
• You need to help protect any Windows-based application.
