Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail

Enable data protection of your mail databases while they’re online

IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager 6 for Mail protects data on e-mail servers running Lotus® Domino® or Microsoft® Exchange

This software module for Tivoli Storage Manager automates data protection, enables "hot" backups without shutting down the server and improves data restore performance.

  • New in version 6: item level recovery of Microsoft Exchange e-mail objects – recover a user’s mailbox, or individual items within the mailbox using new search capabilities
  • Utilizes the application program interfaces (APIs) provided by e-mail application vendors to perform online "hot" backups and improve restores without shutting down the e-mail server
  • Helps protect the growing amount of new and changing data that should be securely backed up to help maintain 24x365 application availability
  • Exploits the "transaction logging" feature of Domino, enabling the capture of just the database changes for logged databases, thus resulting in less-frequent full backups
  • Uses the backup APIs provided by Microsoft to create a copy of the Exchange server storage group databases along with the associated transaction logs
  • Can produce the different types of backups specified by Microsoft backup APIs: Full Backups, Incremental Backups, Differential Backups, Copy Backups and Database Copy Backups
  • Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010 on Windows x86_64.

Business benefits

As part of the IBM TotalStorage® Open Software Family, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail is a software module for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager that automates the data protection of e-mail servers running either Lotus® Domino® or Microsoft® Exchange. This module utilizes the application program interfaces (APIs) provided by e-mail application vendors to perform online "hot" backups without shutting down the e-mail server and improve data-restore performance. As a result, it can help protect the growing amount of new and changing data that should be securely backed-up to help maintain 24x365 application availability.

For Lotus Domino databases, this module exploits the "transaction logging" feature of Domino, enabling the capture of just the database changes for logged databases. Thus, full database backups are not required as frequently as in previous Domino releases.

For Microsoft Exchange, Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail uses the backup APIs provided by Microsoft to create a copy of the Exchange server storage group databases along with the associated transaction logs. The module can produce the different types of backups specified by Microsoft backup APIs: Full Backups, Incremental Backups, Differential Backups, Copy Backups and Database Copy Backups.

Whether used with Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino, Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail allows the continued 24x365 operation of e-mail servers while performing data backups and restores.

Data Protection for Lotus Domino is a successor to Data Protection for Lotus Notes and takes advantage of significant changes introduced in the Lotus Notes R5 server architecture. These include transaction logging for interactions with Notes databases as well as a web-based remote graphical user interface and application program interface (API) for on-line backup and recovery of Notes Databases.

Data Protection for Lotus Domino helps protect and manage Lotus Domino Server data by making it easy to:

  • Implement centralized, online, selective and incremental backup of Lotus Domino databases Maintain multiple versions of Domino databases

  • Maintain multiple versions of Domino database backups

  • Archive Lotus Domino transaction log files, when archival logging is in effect

  • Restore backup versions of a Lotus Domino database and apply changes made since the backup from the transaction log

  • Restore Domino databases to a specific point in time

  • Recover to same or different Domino server

  • Expire database backups automatically based on version limit and retention period

  • Expire archived transaction logs when no longer needed

  • Obtain online context-sensitive, task, and conceptual help

  • View online documentation for Data Protection for Lotus Domino

  • Automate scheduled backups

  • Recover one or more archived transaction logs independent of a database recovery

  • Recover from the loss of the transaction log

  • Archive the currently filling transaction log file

  • Supports Lotus Domino "Individual Mailbox Restore"

  • LAN-Free backup

Data Protection for Lotus Domino provides two types of database backup, incremental and selective, and a log archive function. Incremental backup provides a conditional backup function that creates a full online backup of Domino databases, when necessary. The specific conditions that determine when a new backup is necessary vary depending on whether the database is logged or not. Selective backup unconditionally backs up the specified databases, unless they are excluded from backup through exclude statements. When archival logging is in effect, changes to logged databases can be captured in between full backups, by archiving the transaction log.

Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server provides complete integration with Microsoft Exchange APIs by offering:

  • Centralized online backups (full, copy, incremental, differential and database copy) of Exchange Server databases and transaction logs to Tivoli Storage Manager server storage

  • Automatic expiration and version control by policy

  • Participate in Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) fail-over environments

  • Capable of Parallel backup sessions for high performance

  • Automated transaction log file management

  • LAN-Free backup

  • Windows GUI

  • Supports Microsoft Exchange 'Individual Mailbox Restore' in combination with Tivoli Storage Manager B/A Client and the Microsoft tool 'ExMerge'
