Virtual TapeServer 6.04.04 for NonStop Servers Supplemental Installation Guide

Enabling Instant DR and AutoCopy

Instant DR is an advanced software module (VT5907-A) that enables you to create and

maintain identical copies of backup data on Virtual TapeServer (VTS) disk storage at one or

more locations. In the event of a disaster, remote recovery operations can begin immediately

using the backup data copy on a remote VTS site.

VTS copies data to remote sites over a wide area network (WAN) TCP/IP connection. Virtual

tapes on the originating (source) VTS server are transmitted to the remote (target) VTS

server.

If Instant DR is licensed, you can create new Instant DR backup schemes as well as launch

and monitor the remote synchronization processes that are in place.

AutoCopy is also an optional VTS software module, and it enables VTS to automatically copy

a virtual tape from one VTS system to another when a virtual tape has been mounted,

modified, and then dismounted by the host server.
