P5 Data Mover

P5 Archive helps to move data to cost-effective tape media from production storage to archive storage. In the process, expensive server storage can be reclaimed while backup times are reduced. Later, this archive storage can be managed with the P5 Data Mover. There are two options for this:

Moving: Data is moved from existing to new archive storage. When all data of a volume has been transferred, the volume can be deleted.
Copying: Data is copied to create redundancy on a new archive storage. The previous archive storage remains unchanged.

This new tiered storage concept allows data to be placed on different storage media according to its value, reuse and costs incurred. Data can easily be migrated or copied between storage tiers. A migration plan runs periodically and selects data according to a predefined age.
