The newest version of Workstation Solutions' back-up software was released last week and offers improved support for controlling tape back-up devices as well as the ability to back up remote workstations that sit beyond a network firewall. The Quick Restore 2.7.4 software resides on a Linux server and allows administrators to schedule the back-up server data to one of the following: a DLT tape drive, tape library, or other network-attached storage devices. The software also can be used to schedule back-up jobs of clients across a network. The product is based on the Network Data Management Protocol, an industry standard protocol for interacting with storage devices. According to the company, the latest version of Quick Restore features extended firewall support, which allows the software to back-up client workstations and PCs that sit beyond a corporate firewall. This could be useful for scheduling off-hours back-up jobs of workstations or even servers at remote branch offices with dedicated network links. It also could be used to back up home office PCs to a central storage device over a VPN connection. The new software also features expanded support for different DLT tapes, including well-known storage devices such as Compaq SSL2000, HP SureStore DLT libraries and StorageTek L209. _______________________________________________________________ To contact Phil Hochmuth: Phil Hochmuth is a staff writer for Network World, and a former systems integrator.
