TECHNOLOGIES | Titan Data Vault Agent
The Agent performs a remote backup by making a connection with a Titan Data
Vault Server which could be on the local LAN or somewhere on a WAN. TCP/IP
is the base protocol used to make the connection. A proprietary protocol developed
by Titan Data Vault called BRTP (Backup/Restore Transfer Protocol) utilizes
Remote Procedure Calls (RPC's) to pass control information and the actual
data back and forth with the Server.
The parameters that define a backup are referred to as a Task. One or more backup Tasks may be created to implement the backup necessary to protect a single system. Each time a backup is executed a Log file is created and a Catalog is created. The Log file is an audit trail for the backup and displays the start time, connection information, statistics and summary information regarding the backup. The Catalog is an index for all the files that were contained in the backup. The Catalog contains file attribute information, dates, full directory information, and sizes. The Catalog information is used to search for files, summarize statistics regarding a series of backups via the analyze function, browse, and initiate restores. At the remote Server, each backup is represented by a Safeset which actually contains all the data.
