DR/Xpert by OpenTech Systems, Inc.

2.88 - What's this?

DR/Xpert offers precise data set identification and minimizes the impact to daily production by identifying the data sets required for recovery. DR/Xpert does not select infrastructure data sets as critical application files, or those data sets that will be recreated during recovery. Using this method of only isolating data sets that are truly critical to application recovery, DR/Xpert significantly reduces the amount of data requiring backup and the amount of backup media required; saving money, reducing backup time requirements, and making the recovery process more efficient.

DR/Xpert interfaces with production job scheduling packages to dynamically trigger backups when the critical data identified by DR/Xpert is available for backup. The backup jobs can be triggered by last data set update, user-specified time or other criteria.

Features

  • » Automates the identification of critical application data
  • » Gives the user the flexibility to filter data sets during the identification processing using criteria such as dataset name, creating program name, creating job name, SMS storage class, etc.
  • » Eliminates extensive user intervention and updates to critical data file lists by self adjusting to new cycle additions or changes
  • » Provides a consistent, efficient backup process for application data
  • » Tracks backup status at the cycle level using a common control file
  • » Aggregates logical backups across applications to allow for multiple recovery sync points and to balance the backup workload based on dataset availability
  • » Generates restore JCL at backup time for rapid, accurate recovery
