Legato Systems Inc, based in Palo Alto, California has an Oracle database version of its Networker Motif-based cross-system back-up and recovery software. The Module works in conjunction with the Oracle Corp Parallel Backup and Restore Utility found in Oracle7, and can simultaneously back up multiple data files, file systems, tablespaces, single or multiple tape and optical storage devices, the company says. It enables systems administrators to monitor, configure and control back-up from any node on the network, even if the database is a distributed one. The Oracle Database Module can also be configured so that back-ups are always sent to a specific storage device connected to the back-up server. The product will be available under Sun Microsystems Inc’s Solaris in April, and under IBM Corp’s AIX and Santa Cruz Operation Inc Unix in May. Licences for Solaris and AIX are priced at $3,000 and the Santa Cruz version is $1,500.
