Yosemite Server Backup is a cross-platform software solution designed to protect the data on all of your Windows, Linux and Netware servers. Featuring agents for popular server applications, including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Exchange, Yosemite Server Backup supports "hot backups" of critical applications without requiring separate exports. Disaster recovery options enable you to perform "bare metal restores."
Based on over a decade-long history stemming from the popular TapeWare software product line, Yosemite Server Backup supports backup to both disk and the widest variety of tape loading and cartridge devices on the market. Available in four different levels ranging from single server to unlimited licenses, Yosemite Server Backup is the most economical data protection solution available.

Powerful
Based on over a decade-long development history rooting from its origins as Tapeware, Yosemite Server Backup is a mature, reliable, and trusted solution protecting the data of millions of users worldwide. With cross-platform support across your Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, you can apply consistent data protection policies from a single interface. Agents for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint enable you to perform online backups without the need to take your applications offline or make separate exports. "Bare metal restores" are also supported from backup archives.
Data encryption protects your data at-rest, and data compression makes the most of your media. With heterogeneous support for disk-to-disk backup, CD/DVD, tape drives, tape autoloaders, and robotic tape libraries, Yosemite Server Backup offers industry-leading backup performance by supporting concurrent streams for backup and recovery. Moreover, by streaming continuous data feeds at full-speed, Yosemite Server Backup also helps minimizes starts and stops of your backup hardware, extending both operating life and reliability.
Easy to Use
Scheduling backups is easy through a simple calendar interface. For removable media systems, Yosemite Server Backup can automate and guide your tape rotation strategy. For automated media libraries, Yosemite Server Backup can automatically control any robotics that load your media. Automated email notifications can keep you informed of your backup completions or any problems encountered during backup operations.
Affordable
Yosemite Server Backup combines the best of both worlds, offering superior performance and flexibility over backup utilities bundled with operating systems and devices without the complex licensing and administration models of other commercial backup solutions. With just four options ranging from single server to unlimited usage, Yosemite Server Backup is the most affordable data protection solution available.

FeatureDetails
Bare Metal Disaster Recovery
Enables a one-step restoration of a complete system (operating system, applications, user data, system state) directly from backup media.
Microsoft Exchange Agent
Enables "hot backup" of Microsoft Exchange while online. Includes mailbox level recovery using ExMerge. Performs full and incremental backups and offers granularity of selection to individual storage groups and information stores. Automatically purges log files following backup. Supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and higher for backup and restore.
Microsoft SQL Server Agent
Enables "hot backup" of Microsoft SQL Server while online. Includes mailbox level recovery using ExMerge. Performs full and incremental backups and offers granularity of selection to individual databases. Automatically truncates transaction logs following backup. Supports Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and higher for backup and restore.
Disk to Disk to Any (D2D2NE)
Integrated virtual archive architecture abstracts archive data from the physical media. Facilitates easy staging of backups across tiered backup hierarchies over the network. Least Recently Used (LRU) policies can automatically move
lower priority data to the next storage tier (e.g., from disk to optical media or tape). Replication policies can automatically maintain redundant archives to offsite locations for disaster recovery. Secure erase technologies ensure
that data moved to the next storage tier can be completely eliminated.
Tape Library Expansion
Provides integrated support for multiple drives in robotic tape library systems.

System Requirements
- 512 MB RAM required (1024 MB RAM recommended) above operating system and application requirements
- 400 MB hard disk space required (typical installation)
- Internet Explorer 6 or higher required for all Windows installations
- At least 20GB hard disk space recommended on the machine that will serve as the Yosemite Server Backup master server for the Yosemite Server Backup Catalog.
Supports all major storage hardware technologies and requires at least one storage media drive and/or library and the appropriate controller card.
Deployment Configurations
The Yosemite Server Backup architecture scales easily from a single server to an enterprise network through a three-tier architecture that enables centralized management across distributed data sources and backup devices.
- The Master Server provides a centralized management console for data protection and retention policies across multiple backup clients.
- Backup clients include software for popular file systems, including Windows, Linux, and Netware, as well as agents for online backup of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint applications.
- Media Servers provide connectivity to backup devices, including disk volumes, optical disk drives, tape loaders, and robotic tape libraries.
In a single-server model, all three tiers can reside on a single physical server. In distributed environments, the three tiers are generally distributed hroughout the network and managed centrally from the Master Server.
