Security and Backup Plugins for Automation
The DR365S empowers system administrators with a suite of user-friendly plugins to automate backups for databases, SaaS applications, and enterprise software. These intuitive plugins eliminate the need for complex coding, streamlining data management and significantly reducing administrative overhead.
Antivirus Verify Job Plugin
Post-backup multi-threaded virus toolkit verifies backup jobs by scanning data and performing file verification. It compares files against malware signatures retrieved from a database to identify threats. If malware is detected, an error message is generated, and the job status is updated, ensuring infected files are flagged for immediate action.
Security Plugin
The security plugin uses the built-in File Daemon to check for vulnerabilities during daily backup jobs. Detected issues are detailed in the job report, and error messages can be logged for review.
IBM DB2 Plugin
The DB2 plugin simplifies database management by enabling named pipe data transfer, automatic ONLINE/OFFLINE backups, and schema backups. It supports incremental and differential backups, tracks timestamps, handles Docker backups, and ensures efficient restores, including incremental restore procedures and database dumps for manual recovery, with detailed job log reporting for full control.
MSSQL VDI Plugin
The MSSQL VDI plugin enables direct SQL Server interaction for high-performance full, differential, and log backups. It offers granular control over backup and restoration processes, making it ideal for SQL Server-focused environments requiring precise data protection and efficient recovery workflows.
MSSQL VSS Plugin
The MSSQL VSS plugin leverages Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for system-wide consistent backups across multiple services. It supports full database and log backups via snapshots, simplifying management in mixed environments where multiple applications share storage, ensuring seamless coordination and reliability.
MySQL Plugin
The MySQL Plugin makes backing up and restoring MySQL servers effortless, eliminating the need for expertise in MySQL techniques or scripting. It automatically saves critical data, like configurations and user definitions, and supports both Dump and binary backup methods for flexible and reliable protection.
Oracle Plugin
The Oracle Plugin simplifies Oracle Database backup and restoration, eliminating the need to learn complex Oracle techniques or scripting. It supports both dump and Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) using RMAN for reliable and flexible data protection.
PostgreSQL Plugin
The PostgreSQL Plugin streamlines the backup and restore process for PostgreSQL clusters, removing the need for administrators to learn advanced techniques or create scripts. It automatically backs up critical data like configurations, user definitions, and tablespaces, supporting both Dump and Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) methods for reliable and efficient protection.
Sybase Plugin
The Sybase Plugin enables seamless online backup and restore using the Sybase Backup Server Archive API. It supports full, cumulative (incremental), and transaction-level backups, including Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) with transaction restoration. Administrators can easily restore to alternate locations, with all operations fully managed by the database administrator for precision and flexibility.
NDMP Plugin
The NDMP Plugin supports Full, Incremental, and Differential backups for NetApp and EMC Unity systems, including the NetApp SMTAPE format. It integrates with Global Endpoint Deduplication, enabling efficient backup operations. Additionally, it offers Cluster Aware Backup (CAB) configuration and migration capabilities.
NetApp HFC (Incremental Accelerator) Plugin
The Incremental Accelerator Plugin enhances backup and restore performance for NetApp NAS by efficiently identifying modified files using snapshots, minimizing resource usage. It supports Red Hat and SUSE Linux versions, and NetApp 7-mode and c-mode.
Nutanix HFC (Incremental Accelerator) Plugin
The Nutanix Incremental Accelerator Plugin optimizes backup and restore performance for Nutanix NAS by leveraging the Nutanix REST API to quickly identify modified files, avoiding a full filesystem scan. It uses snapshots to track changes since the last backup and manages them efficiently to minimize resource usage, ensuring quick incremental backups. The plugin utilizes standard network shares like NFS or CIFS for file access.
