Protects NetWare Servers, Windows NT Servers and NT Workstations

Network and system administrators are becoming acutely aware that their current backup software solutions are failing at the very thing they were purchased to do...back up the most critical data in the organization.

The reason for this failure is that the most important files (such as email, database and accounting files) are usually "open" and "in use" when the backup is run. This can result in files being skipped, users getting locked out due to backup applications use of exclusive locks, or loss of relational file synchronization due to forced backups.

Open File Manager (OFM) is a utility that enhances backup software by successfully capturing open files, even if they are changing during the backup, all without locking users out of the applications or forcing them to log off the network.

By adding Open File Manager to your current backup program, there is no need to replace your current backup application, backup scripts or hardware. OFM recognizes backup applications that are running on the same system, as well as backup programs running on a remote system (across a network).

Adding Open File Manager to your enterprise backup solution is a simple task. There is no need to reconfigure your current backup scenarios in any way, and Open File Manager adds no noticeable overhead to the systems on which it resides.

The ultimate benefit of adding Open File Manager to your current backup solution is twofold. You will have the ability to perform 100% restorable backups and your system users will be able to continue their work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without any backup related interruptions.
