IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack V6.1

The explosion of data and information across businesses is driving the need for integrated data protection solutions to address data recovery and business continuity for data and applications, whether they reside in the enterprise, at a small business, at the data center, or at a remote branch office. The ability to manage this tidal wave of data, and provide near instant recovery capabilities in a way that is integrated with the overall data protection environment, is becoming a business imperative. Enhancements to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack products are designed to continue to help address these challenges.
