Zen Vault Professional: Server Plug-ins

Adding to its features and functionality, Zen Vault Professional also provides a solution for numerous databases and applications. These solutions are provided as plug-ins to Zen Vault Professional.

Plug-ins provided with Zen Vault Professional

System State Backup
The Zen Vault Professional System State Backup plug-in enables you to backup a collection of system-specific components that must be backed up as a unit. These components include (depending on the Operating System) boot files, the registry, COM+ Class Registration database, Active Directory and SYSVOL directory.
Email Reporting
The Email Notification plug-in enables you to receive email notification on data backup activity. You can configure the plug-in to notify you on a specified email address when a data backup has been successful, when it failed or both.

*Optional Plug-ins available for Zen Vault Professional

MS Exchange 2000/2003/2007
The Attix5 Exchange plug-ins enable fast and flexible ways to protect vital Exchange 2007, 2003 and 2000 critical data while the applications are online. Using the Exchange APIs to communicate with the Exchange server, the plug-ins provide backup and restore capabilities for all Exchange Server components, including embedded files.
MS Exchange Single Mailbox Recovery (SMR)
The SMR plug-in is used to backup and restore single Exchange server mailboxes. The SMR plug-in makes use of a robust Exchange tool called ExMerge to perform the backup and restore operations. However the plug-in presents a user interface façade to the ExMerge settings file (usually exmerge.ini) so that ExMerge can be configured from the Attix5 Pro SE client. Once configured, ExMerge can be run in „batch? mode that does not require user interaction. SMR no longer requires MAPI or a MAPI profile to perform its functionality as the plug-in makes a native call via the COM component to query LDAP for the list of Exchange mailboxes. The SMR Plug-in supports Exchange 2000 and 2003.
MS SQL Server/MS SQL 7
The Attix5 MS SQL plug-in provides SQL Server 2000/2005/2008/MS SQL 7 protection down to the individual table or file group. Execute binary patching backups as well as Transaction Log backups with automatic truncation. Restore options include redirection to another SQL Server using the native SQL restore procedures and the ability to perform “rollback restores”, enabling a database to be recovered to a specific backup job.
MS VSS Database plug-in
Attix5 Pro makes use of the MS Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to back up open files like your Outlook PST file, which is just a fraction of what VSS can do. The MS VSS Database plug-in utilises VSS on a much more advanced level by allowing you to protect any VSS-enabled database (such as MS Exchange 2010) and application available on your server with a single plug-in; without the need for a database dump.
Script Plug-in
The Script plug-in enables you to execute scripts and batch files during the backup or restore processes. This allows you to prepare an application for backup and to create a data dump of a database. You can also stop and start applications or services before, during or after any backup.
More detailed information on all of the available plug-ins can be found in the Server Plug-in user guide (PDF: 636KB).

*Optional plug-ins are only £9.95 per plug-in per month, in addition to your Zen Vault Professional subscription fee, and can be ordered online when purchasing Zen Vault Professional.
