Static Backup. With the HP EFS RCU, when a scheduled static backup window
occurs, because the data is already prepopulated in the HP EFS WAN
Accelerators (using the transparent prepopulation feature), only new and
modified data is transported to the backup site. Static backup allows enterprise
customers to reduce their backup windows.
Monitoring. The HP EFS RCU can actively monitor client directories and
perform a variety of actions such as mirroring or copying data, when it detects a
change in them.
NOTE: To copy and mirror data, you must install and run the HP EFS RCU on the client and
the server.
Proxy File Service (PFS). PFS provides fast access to local files, accelerated
access to files requiring SMB signing, and continuous access to files in the event
of WAN disruption. PFS allows you to store local copies of files at the remote site
(that is, a branch office) in an integrated virtual file server resident on the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator. PFS requires the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility. PFS is
available on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, Model DL320-1010, DL320-2010,
DL380-3010, or DL380-5010.
