Systems Axis STREAM
The Axis stream software is designed to operate in conjunction with a range of both internal and external backup devices to provide a high speed reliable backup facility. Designed for single user or multi-user and network environments, the software handles both local and remote network drives, making it ideal for use in multi-user host machines and network servers.

Menu Driven
The Stream's menu driven software guides the user through the necessary steps
to safely back-up and restore data. Other functions provided include software
verify, display of tape contents and comparison of the tape contents with files
on disk.
Where large amounts of data are backed up, multiple tape volumes are handled automatically, the user being prompted to insert the next tape cartridge as required. Each tape is marked with a volume number and backup generation number for easy identification.
Backup parameters may be specified to allow files to be selected by individual filename, sub-directory, sub-directories with nested directories or complete partitions. Wildcard selection is also supported in the filenames specified. These functions are also supported on remote network drives, reducing the cost of ensuring data security on a number of workstations.
Command line operation
Command line options are provided to allow backups to run unattended from BATCH
files or Sentinel menu system.
Multiple parameters can be used to specify backup of selected files from more than one partition, drive, or even network workstation, in the same session. Floating drives and drive substitutions are also supported. Command line input files allow automation of complex backup selections. Any errors encountered during Stream operation are reported on screen and logged.
The effectiveness of any computer system is totally dependent on the integrity of the data, in multi-user systems even more so. The AXIS Stream provides an effective and simple solution to the problems of protecting the investment
