Description

The S/390 Backup Facility is a self-booting CD, providing a special backup and restore environment with access to all of your SSA partitions. Backup to USB-attached storage media is fully supported, including USB flash drives and external hard disks. Restore one file, a set of files, an entire partition, or the whole system with a few mouse clicks.
Based on ArcaOS 5, this no-installation-required backup/restore solution is a must-have for all data centers with this equipment.
Software Licensing Prerequisites and Restrictions
You must be a legal licensee of the IBM Multiprise® 3000 Support Element on which the S/390 Backup Facility is to be used.
The S/390 Backup Facility is licensed per site, for all IBM Multiprise® 3000 Support Elements in the same physical location.
Disclaimer
The S/390 Backup Facility has been tested to boot and perform as described on the standard single board Support Element. The S/390 Backup Facility may not run on all replacement systems, and Arca Noae makes no claim that it does. If you are unsure as to the suitability of your hardware for the S/390 Backup Facility, please review this wiki page or contact us. There is no trial or demonstration version available.
All license sales are final. Once your personalized ISO has been downloaded, you have effectively torn the shrinkwrap off of physical media, and there is no way for us to return that to stock. We are very happy to work with you to resolve any installation or operational issues which you may have, and we continue to improve hardware support for ArcaOS.
