What is MediaGenie Proteus?
The proprietary MediaGenie Proteus software tool is the result of a focused effort by Data Strategies aimed at developing a high-performance and cost-effective process for large-scale backup data migration across media technologies, hardware platforms, and software products. MediaGenie Proteus already supports the most popular backup software products like the following:
What does it do?
MediaGenie Proteus is highly scalable and supports a broad spectrum of off-line large-scale Backup Data Migration services based on the same “non-invasive” technology and unique processes that characterize all our offerings. These services include:
- Production of backup data catalogs from media created by legacy applications
- Extracting data from vintage backup tapes whose format or media type is no longer supported by customer’s infrastructure
- Selective data migration (backup data splitting) based on customer-specified criteria
- Backup data consolidation using higher capacity media
- Data migration from a legacy backup format (product) to a new backup format (product).
Large-scale data migration process
MediaGenie Proteus implements a start-to-end, comprehensive approach to off-line large-scale backup data migration.
- This starts with the ability to absorb (preprocess) backup catalog data and media management data from backup servers or to recreate catalog and media data from the backup media itself.
- It continues with the ability to map, extract, split, compose, convert, and edit backup data at various levels (volume, session/save-set, fragment/file, etc.), independently of the source or target backup software.
- It ends with the ability to create not only the new target media but also the ‘auxiliary’ data needed to create or update the target backup server catalog and media management database.
Since our approach bypasses the expensive process of restoring and backing-up the data to be migrated again and operates completely off-line, we can offer the fastest and most cost-effective large-scale backup data migration. services.
