Ensures business continuity and protection of mission-critical data
Open File Manager enables your backup software to back up all open and in-use files. You can eliminate downtime due to backup procedures and totally automate your backup process without worry of lost or corrupted files.

Supports all leading backup vendors
It seamlessly works with leading backup software such as Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve, VERITAS Backup Exec and NetBackup, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Hewlett-Packard Data Protector and many others.

Scalable architecture
Open File Manager scales to as many machines as you require and yet can be managed from one central console.

Increases Application Availability
Open File Manager supports data protection in high availability environments, enabling your backup software to back up open and in-use files without taking users offline or interrupting systems use.

Protects Mission-Critical Data
Open File Manager enables your backup software to back up all open and in-use files.Often, traditional backup software either skips open files, resulting in an incomplete backup, or forces back up of open files, which is likely to copy corrupt data to tape if the files are changing. This is not a problem with Open File Manager.

Supports Leading Backup Software
Open File Manager seamlessly works with your backup application to provide a complete data
protection solution. It is compatible with over 50 storage management vendors and over 90
leading backup applications. This broad support allows you to migrate between backup vendors
without reinvesting in a new open file solution.

Scalable Architecture
Open File Manager is designed for the distributed environment and scales to as many
machines as you need. Its client/agent architecture allows you to add additional machines to
your enterprise while easily managing them from a central console.

Supports Microsoft and Novell Cluster Server Technology
Open File Manager provides enhanced clustering capabilities for data protection in high
availability environments. It automatically detects volume mounts and dismounts. If failover
occurs during a backup, Open File Manager will automatically un-synchronize and then
re-synchronize, allowing the new volume to join the current backup, ensuring the highest
standard for data protection.

Performs Fast Open File Database Replication
Use Open File Manager to make copies of data for system management purposes other than
backup. For example, make a copy of a live database, preserving the data integrity of open files,
and place it on another machine for training or testing purposes.

Enhances Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service Framework
Open File Manager now enhances storage management frameworks such as Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Open File Manager has components
that integrate with VSS to ensure that legacy and non-VSS compliant business applications
are captured correctly.
