The 3Com NBX Multisite Backup tool is a Windows-based utility that helps ensure compliance with an organization’s formal disaster recovery process. It lets administrators schedule and implement automatic and comprehensive archiving of NBX system configuration files based on time, date, days of the week, or days of the month, for one or many NBX systems. Backup files are created at each site and compiled at a central PC server, allowing centralized, graphical reporting that can confirm backup status at each location. An alert function signals a failed backup, and a built-in automatic recovery plan can be implemented in the event of a power failure or PC server crash. Triple redundancy ensures that valuable information is stored on the appropriate hard drive, backup FTP or data center server, or burned to a CD-ROM.
