Power Edition and the

Power Edition Configuration

Power Edition is a specialized Backup server, so the configurations you implement for Power Edition are somewhat different than for the Backup server. In "How Immediate Save and Recover Works" on page 7 you can read about this special feature of Power Edition. The examples and illustrations in this section describe configuration considerations that are specific to Power Edition.

How Immediate Save and Recover Works

During a backup session on a Power Edition server or storage node, Power Edition can recognize whether the data resides on the same computer or a remote computer. When the data resides on the same computer, immediate saves and immediate recovers are invoked automatically. Instead of transferring data across the network, data is transferred within memory on the Power Edition server or storage node. Immediate saves and recovers are available only in the case of local data transfer, where the data and the Power Edition server or storage node are hosted on the same computer. If the data is on a remote client, the data is transferred over the network using TCP/IP.
