ArcLog Distiller™ Enterprise

Works with Computer Associates BrightStor™ ARCserve® Backup, BrightStor™ Enterprise Backup and VERITAS Backup Exec™

Eases management of multiple backup servers

ArcLog Distiller Enterprise condenses or distills your backup job log data into useful information.By consolidating job information from multiple BrightStor Backup servers you get a unified view of your entire storage operation. A quick glance at the dashboard shows the number of successes, failures, incompletes and more. Drill down to see the details you need to get the job done.

Slashes backup administration time

Our users report time savings of 75% and more in the daily chore of examining the prior day's storage operations. ArcLog Distiller Enterprise eliminates the need to view individual job logs or to log into multiple servers to see what happened. Different views allow you to see backup operations (jobs) arranged by Status, Backup Server, or Workstation. Drill down to see the details about the particular job and session. And if you still need it, the raw job log is just a click away - no need to mount a remote drive or browse through the network.


Reduces storage administration costs

ArcLog Distiller Enterprise removes the drudgery of slogging through voluminous logs for the data to produce spreadsheets or other reports for auditing purposes. And since every view can be exported to HTML or another format such as a spreadsheet those reports are practically a mouse click away. Time slashed is money saved. ArcLog Distiller Enterprise enables storage operators to spend time on other important tasks.


Shows trends to prevent problems

ArcLog Distiller Enterprise includes a rich set of charts and tables that enable you to spot trends and prevent problems. Our exclusive charts let you select the information to be plotted and the style of graph. Our 3D charts can be titled, swiveled, and rotated so you can focus on what has happened. The X-Axis slides so you can see more than what fits on your screen. Information can be consolidated as a sum, average, minimum, or maximum and over time by day, week, month, quarter, and year. The data supporting the charts is available for examination and can be easily exported into a web page or a spreadsheet for further manipulation.


Assures the boss that backups are being done

The ArcLog Distiller Reporter is so easy to use that even the boss can do it! Alternatively, output pages to the web or other formats so that management can see that their critical data is protected. And if you need something special our team is ready to provide the custom output necessary at very reasonable rates. Or license the tool we used to create the Reporter, the optional Forest & Trees® developer version, or use your own favorite report engine to create output from the SQL data base.


Illustrates storage operations quickly

Almost all storage operations are captured by ArcLog Distiller Enterprise and displayed in easy to use tables, lists, or graphs. Increasing levels of detail are available by drilling down (clicking) on select items. Subtotals and grand totals show how much has been archived or restored and let you look for anomalies. Spot check the amount of disk backed or number of files to confirm that your backups are doing what you need them to do. Don't be lulled into a sense of ease just because your operation was successful. Look at the numbers to see that the volumes are correct as well!
