| The many benefits of DR/VFI include: |
 |
 | Faster Recovery Time which enables you to get back online immediately by restoring only the applications that are absolutely critical to your business. |
 | Time and Storage Savings by backing up only mission-critical files on a daily basis rather than all application files. Files are either backed up by utilizing existing backup tools or added through a scanner process. |
 | Centralized Tracking of backup data provides a repository of information necessary for recovery. |
 | Enhanced ABARS capability through verification, monitoring and selective recovery of backups. Aggregates are verified and corrected before being submitted to DFHSM. |
 | SMF Extractor which provides real-time SMF data collection. Use of this incremental process provides a mechanism for SMF data collection in single, multiple, or sysplex environments. |
 | DB2 Support which provides verification of tablespace backups and off-site rotation. |
 | Critical Tape Support with a tape copy process that copies critical tapes to tape volumes that are rotated off-site and is transparent to the user. It makes tapes available without respooling tapes or modifying production JCL. |
