Open File Manager™

Open File Manager™is enterprise-class software that enables your backup application to back up open files, ensuring business continuity and protection of mission-critical data. It is a reliable, easy-to-use, disk-level open file solution that is cost-effective and scalable from workstations to servers.

Since 1995, Open File Manager™has been the leading open file management solution with over 300,000 licenses sold for Novell NetWare® environments. Its rich feature set helps IT professionals automate backup of open files through system-wide volume synchronization, improve application availability and lower operating costs.

Key Benefits:

• Ensure business continuity and protection of mission-critical data
• Improve application availability and lower operating costs
• Avoid incomplete backups and eliminate backups with corrupted open file data
• Standardize on one solution to back up open files across your enterprise

Increases Application Availability
Open File Manager™supports data protection in high availability environments, enabling your backup software to back up open and in-use files without taking users offline or interrupting systems use. Applications and files, such as Exchange, Lotus Notes, Oracle, GroupWise, SQL, FoxPro, Word, Excel, customer applications and more, can now be available to the user uninterrupted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Protects Mission-Critical Data
Open File Manager™enables your backup software to back up all open and in-use files. Often, traditional backup software either skips open files, resulting in an incomplete backup, or forces back up of open files, which is likely to copy corrupt data to tape if the files are changing.

Supports Leading Backup Software
Open File Manager™seamlessly works with your backup application to provide a complete data protection solution. It is compatible with over 90 leading backup applications from over 50 storage management vendors. Open File Manager™ seamlessly works with Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve, VERITAS Backup Exec and NetBackup, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Hewlett-Packard Data Protector, EMC/LEGATO NetWorker and many more backup applications. This broad support allows you to migrate between backup vendors without reinvesting in a new open file solution.

Supports Novell® Cluster Server Technology
Open File Manager™provides enhanced clustering capabilities for data protection in high availability environments. Open File Manager™automatically detects volume mounts and dismounts. If failover occurs during a backup, Open File Manager™ will automatically un-synchronize and then re-synchronize, allowing the new volume to join the current backup, ensuring the highest standard for data protection.

Performs Fast Open File Database Replication
Use Open File Manager™to make copies of data for system management purposes other than backup. For example, make a copy of a live database, preserving the data integrity of open files, and place it on another machine for training or testing purposes.
