Backup and restore

Backup and restore

• Incremental backup allowing retaining different copies of a same object• Automated full-backup tasks using an enterprise scheduler• Powerful Business Objects disaster recovery using incremental restore jobs• Define a simple and effective backup strategy taking the whole BO content into

account, including personal documents (personal or public Webi, Crystal and Deski), universes, folders, users, groups, security, etc.

• Fast recovery of any object from a recycle bin• Perform rollback operations on any object to restore previous versions• Compare production objects against previous versions before restoring

Promotion management

Promotion management

• Simultaneous log-in to multiple BO environments (DEV, PROD).• Single-screen view of multiple BO environments.• Replace LCM by a selective promotion and shipping management system using

simple drag-and-drop operations.• Replace LCM by a mass-shipping and bulk-promotion management system using

object flagging (flag on every object to promote). No size or object number limit for promotion.

• Automated object life-cycle management.• Single-screen comparison of multiple environments and documents.

Version Backup

• Object locking during changes• Version documentation by version number, date and description• Easy recovery of a previous version, including its properties• Version comparison (current and previous)• Promoting sets of objects with the same version number• Manage the life cycle of different versions (multi environment) by storing the

actions performed on each object (creation, rollback, promotion, etc.)• Rollback and bulk-promotion management for a given project or version

Manage and compare multiple environments

Log on and manage multiple environments simultaneously, then compare them

Promote content across environments

Promote content using a drag and drop

Schedule content promotion across environments:Promote flagged content only (specified in the object description)Schedule promotion using an Enterprise Job Scheduler ($U, ControlM, UC4, Vtom etc)

Schedule content promotion

A full backup is done uponfirst start, then delta / incremental backups are performed later on

Schedule backup using an Enterprise Job Scheduler(ControlM, UC4, Vtom, DollarU)

Full dynamic backup

Selective restoration of any content (universe, personal & corporate documents, users, CAL). Just rollback/undo any action/object.

Restore any version of any content

Highlight differences or export them to Excel:

Compare different versions

Have you lost or accidentally removed objects/reports? Restore them using our unique Recycle Bin feature.360Plus is a ‘oops’ strategy software. Restore any lost object (same CUID, same security, personal document, etc.)

Restore lost content

Schedule a monthly full server backup (minimum FRS+CMS or VM snaphsot)

To recover from a disaster, first restore the last full backup and then restore all the incremental backup between last date of the full backup and today using 360Plus restore job:

Disaster recovery

Without 360Plus: recovery took 5 days. Incident reported at CEO level (65K+ employee company!)

6k users were asked to clean their own folders. Users in Brazil cleaned too many items. Operations lastedfor 5 days, BO had to be shut down!

Email from CEO asking what was going on!

Administrators asked them to purchase 360Plus a few months earlier. They learnt the hard way andbought the product right away.
