Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) Implementation

Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) Implementation

ACS understands the value of your company’s mission critical data. An accurate backup routine must be maintained to guarantee data is stored securely. The IBM Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) application implements a disciplined approach to managing iSeries backups, while providing an orderly way to retrieve lost or damaged data.

Key Benefits

Disciplined Backup Approach
BRMS offers a disciplined approach to backup management that will save time and money. Using BRMS, critical and complex backups are simply and easily managed, including online backups of Lotus Domino servers and shutdown and startup of Integrated xSeries Servers (IXS/IXA). BRMS also performs daily maintenance activities related to your backup and allows full recovery of your system in the event of a disaster or failure.

Detailed Planning
Detailed planning is vital to a successful backup implementation. ACS consultants go through a documented planning phase to help you prepare for your BRMS Implementation. They meet with your company and develop a customized backup strategy based on the specific needs of your company.

Customized Features and Controls
BRMS allows you to keep track of all your backup media, from creation to expiration. BRMS eliminates the need for tracking which backup items are stored on which volumes. This customized approach streamlines your backup methodology into one smooth process.
