Microsoft Exchange Backup/Restore Solution-
Uptime Booster 2000 by Compaq

Overview
Compaq’s Microsoft Exchange Backup/Restore Solution – Uptime Booster 2000 consists of a unique combination of innovative software, hardware, and optional services to support the creation of Business Continuation Volumes when needed to simplify Microsoft Exchange 2000 storage management for Windows 2000 environments. By creating a clone of the relevant Storage Group, these BCVs can be used for Backup and Restore operations to minimize application downtime.

The products include the entire family of HSG80 based RAID Storage Systems with the SANworks™ Enterprise Volume Manager, key deliverables in Compaq’s Enterprise Network Storage Architecture (ENSA), and as an option Enterprise Backup Solutions using a choice of cooperative and reference Storage Management Solutions from partners. Additionally the San Sizer can provide help in configuring a valid SAN configuration.

Detailed QuickSpecs for each of the above products can be found at:

The combination of the above provides:
  • Storage Management access from any system with a web browser
    *Business Continuation Volumes which are Clones (mirrors) of storage volumes
  • The ability to quiesce a particular Exchange Storage Group and make a clone automatically at a scheduled time
  • A minimally disruptive unattended Backup of the Microsoft Exchange Storage Groups
  • Minimal impact on Exchange users
  • Expanded Backup Window for Exchange
  • Data Integrity Ensured with point-in-time consistent data
The solution provides a time and cost saving solution for the backup and restore operation of Microsoft Exchange.

Using this approach for backing up and restoring critical data has two key advantages:

  1. Critical files/databases can be put back in production in much less time than restoring from tape (seconds vs. hours) thereby minimizing application downtime.
  2. Backup of the Business Continuation Volume can occur faster and with no performance impact.
