Index Engines

Instant access to backup tape without restore

Historical data files are often locked away in offline tapes in proprietary backup formats. As a result, retrieving data 
from these tapes is extremely time consuming and costly, requiring the entire backup tape to be restored to disk 
before it can be searched.

Index Engines automates the process of searching and extracting data from offline tapes. Offline tapes are directly indexed without restoring or copying, and the data is immediately searchable. Users can quickly find what they need, restoring only relevant files and email, rather than restoring the entire tape contents. Index Engines provides a unified enterprise-wide index of backup tape data at unmatched speed, scale and value.

• Direct cataloging and indexing of backup tape content - no restore needed. Supports all common backup formats.
• Supports common tape formats; LTO, DLT and tape libraries.
• Full text/metadata indexing of unstructured files and email (Exchange, Notes, etc...)
• Search files and email for relevant data; supports boolean, pattern, proximity and more.
• Search can be expanded to include network data and forensic images.
• Full deduplication and deNISTing support.
• Forensically sound extraction of files and emails from backup tapes.
• Indexing and extraction does not require the original backup software.

Although tape discovery is often considered to be problematic, recent case law now demands that this data be made accessible. Index Engines unlocks the data contained on backup tapes, making individual files and email easily accessible by eliminating painful restore.
