AMASS Overview
Backup and restore applications are usually an automatically scheduled operation aimed at protecting original data against any kind of loss or damage.
The goal of archiving is usually to conserve online storage space. It is more cost effective to store infrequently accessed data on lower cost media.
When applications need to read from or write to archived files, the files appear as a single, mounted file system on the UNIX server.
Applications can read from the files or write to the files the same way they would read or write to a hard disk. Therefore, the extensive storage capabilities provided by storage hardware appear as one large file system.
Although applications view their files as being located on the UNIX server, in reality they are stored on multiple storage
