BakBone NetVault®: Backup Application Plugin Module(TM) for PostgreSQL Automates Backups and Minimizes Downtime

SAN DIEGO -- Nov. 1, 2007--BakBone Software® (Pink Sheets:BKBO), the leading provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, today announced version 3.0 of BakBone NetVault: Backup Application Plugin Module (APM) for PostgreSQL. The NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL offers users a centralized console to setup, configure and define backup and restore policies with granular control for complete database clusters, individual databases or tables. NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL seamlessly integrates with BakBone's award-winning data protection software, NetVault: Backup, for central management of multi-platform data protection environments.

"Open-source databases are becoming popular with corporations because of the enterprise-class functionality they provide at a low total cost of ownership and the ability to revise the source code. As a result, programs like PostgreSQL need a reliable data protection solution," said Jeff Drescher, vice president of marketing, BakBone. "BakBone is the first major vendor to protect PostgreSQL databases with a proven, integrated data protection solution."

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source relational database system that has earned a strong industry reputation for reliability, data integrity and accuracy. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, Solaris and Windows. NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL automates PostgreSQL backup policies with a point-and-click GUI, eliminating the need for complex scripting. Through integration with a variety of backup devices via NetVault: Backup, users have the flexibility to store backups in a VTL and then duplicate jobs to physical tape libraries.

NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL provides comprehensive data protection capabilities for PostgreSQL. During the backup process, all data remains online and users have normal access to the full database clusters, individual databases and tables. In addition to backing up the full database cluster, individual database or table, NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL can also back up configuration files and perform global object-only backups. BakBone's solution supports SQL Plain-text, TAR and compressed formats, giving users the flexibility to select a backup format without learning PostgreSQL internals.

NetVault: Backup APM for PostgreSQL reduces downtime by speeding up restores and restoring only what is needed from the complete clusters to the granular level, individual databases or tables. Restores are fast and there is less chance for human error or a syntax error than with manual execution.
