Flexible
AMASS is both drive and library independent thus allowing
you to choose the hardware that meets the specific needs of
your company. For detailed information, refer to Accessing
Storage Devices.
Third-party Backup
Applications
AMASS supports third-party backup and restore applications
that access files using standard file system semantics.
Consequently, applications that currently run on standard UNIX
file systems can use AMASS without modification.
Mixed Media AMASS supports mixed media in the following libraries:
• A network-attached AML using Distributed AML Server
(DAS) as the library management software on the AMU.
DAS is an ADIC-GRAU software product with both client
and server components. The server component is installed
on the AMU OS/2 server and the client component is
embedded in AMASS.
