Zero Downtime Backup and Instant Recovery Support Matrix
Version: 1.1 Date: March 04, 2009
Application Recovery Manager is an application for managing replication technologies using
the VSS framework or direct array control. The main purpose of replication in the product is
backup and recovery. It integrates with any backup application in which it would automate the
replication control and let the backup application control the tape action. It is based on Data
Protector Functionality thus the functionality of both products will be kept in sync with potential
small delays. The objective is to provide zero downtime backup & instant recovery for different
storage arrays and backup applications based on Microsoft VSS framework and direct array
control.
From the operating system level Windows Server 2003 (32-bit, Itanium and x64) is supported
for the backup and the application host. The Windows Server 2003 version must either be
Itanium on both or IA-32 on both or x64 (64-bit) on both.
