BRMS provides the iSeries server with support for policy-oriented setup and
execution of archive, backup, recovery, and other removable media-related
operations. BRMS uses a consistent set of intuitive concepts and operations,
which can be used to develop and implement a backup strategy tailored to your
business requirements. The user interface is menu-driven, with a significant
number of functions enabled through the optional BRMS iSeries Navigator client,
a plug-in to iSeries Navigator.

Benefits

The base product offers an unlimited number of media, shared tape devices,
automated taped libraries, and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager servers. It supports
backup of a single library or single QSYS.LIB object in parallel using up to 32
tape devices. Parallel backup with its easy-to-use interface lets users shorten
backup windows by using more tape devices. Using parallel backup, with an
automated tape library device, users can save a large library, for example, to all
currently available tape resources. Parallel backup also supports *ALLUSR,
*IBM, and generic library names.
