Use UBD for Onsite Backups

– Use UBD for faster, more reliable daily backups and restores via SAVLIB/SAVOBJ, Save 21, BRMS, Robot Save, or any other backup software package without programming changes
– Simplify the backup and recovery process by replacing the need for physical tape, saving hundreds of hours, and providing better protection for your data
– No more getting up to retrieve and load one or more tape cartridges. You can use the UBD browser-based interface to create and load a new tape image before backup, eliminating all of the manual processes involved with the physical handling of tapes
