NOVELL EXPANDS NETWARE ARCHIVING OPTIONS THROUGH
TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP WITH CHEYENNE
ARCserve Backup Product is Certified for NetWare
BOSTON, Mass., NETWORLD -- February 11, 1991 -- Novell, Inc.,
developer of NetWare (R) systems software products, today announced
that it has certified the ARCserve NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) from
Cheyenne Software, Inc., expanding functionality and increasing options
in data archiving services for NetWare users. Cheyenne's backup product
has been certified through Novell's Independent Manufacturers Support
Program (IMSP) as compatible with the NetWare environment and with
other IMSP-certified networking components on the market.
The company also announced that it will include B/R Device Interface, a
new backup subsystem module developed in conjunction with Cheyenne, in
its core NetWare v3.11 network operating system product. B/R Device
Interface works in conjunction with Novell's backup and restore server-
based application, SBACKUP. B/R Device Interface allows SBACKUP to be
compatible with more than 50 backup subsystems currently used by NetWare
customers.
In addition, Novell is licensing optional client agents from Cheyenne
that allow SBACKUP to archive information residing on DOS, Windows, OS/2
and UNIX desktop sytems. These client agents are provided in NetWare
B/R Client Services v1.0, an optional product available in March, 1991.
"Cheyenne has been among the leaders in archival technology since 1988,"
said John Edwards, Novell product line manager for enterprise network
operating systems. "Close cooperation between the two companies has
resulted in enhanced backup and restore capabilities, tightly coupled
with NetWare's client/server architecture, creating efficient, scalable
and cost-effective archiving solutions for NetWare customers."
[Novell told me that B/R Device Interface is the DIBI II interface]
