Advantages of Using DPX

Use DPX to back up SAP for performance advantages, centralized management, and to schedule backups.

Performance Advantages

You have the following capabilities to achieve performance gains:

• Split large files into multiple portions and back up the portions concurrently. This is particularly beneficial with raw partitions.

• Back up multiple files to multiple devices at the same time.

• Interleave more than one file onto a tape to sustain throughput.

Centralized Management

Use DPX to back up SAP to consolidate all your backups to a single product. A single Catalog tracks saved data for simplified management. It eliminates the need to define a master server at each SAP node. Keep your current master server and install a client on each SAP node.

Regularly Scheduled Backup

When using multiple tape libraries, you can back up and restore data for long periods without any human intervention by scheduling your backups.
