The backup option integration module--Provides the infrastructure for the option. The backup option integration module serves as the interface that communicates information between Arcserve Backup and SAP R/3.
Multistreaming backups--Lets you submit backups to multiple storage devices concurrently, which enhances backup performance and reduces the backup window. Multistreaming lets you subdivide jobs so that it uses multiple storage devices simultaneously. The backup option integration module provides the intelligence to stream jobs based on the number of file systems and the number of available storage devices.
Host duplication--Lets you duplicate all the data from one SAP R/3 server to another. To use the host duplication feature, the configuration on each server must be the same.
Enhanced destination options--Lets you specify different destination tapes for each day of the week in single stream mode or specify media pools in multistreaming mode. Using the enhanced destination options, you can better organize your backup tapes. For more information about enhanced destination options, see “Installing the Option.”
