EMC Solutions for Backup to Disk: EMC Celerra LAN Backup to Disk With IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

Disk-based data protection solutions have become desirable and affordable because of the lower cost of Advanced Technology-Attachment (ATA) storage systems. As a complement to using tape for long-term storage, backup to disk is a powerful solution for rapid recovery of mission-critical data, and it yields significant benefits over traditional backup to tape. This white paper discusses the advantages of backup to disk and outlines best practices for using and configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager software with a Celerra IP storage system as the backup-to-disk target for Windows clients.
