bi-directional transmission of large data files and can be

 

deployed between sites kilometers apart. Fibre Channel connects

 

nodes using three physical topologies: point-to-point, loop, and

 

switched.

Fibre Channel

A Fibre Channel bridge or multiplexer provides the ability to

bridge

migrate existing parallel SCSI devices, like RAID arrays, solid

 

state disks (SSD), and tape libraries to a Fibre Channel

 

environment. On one side of the bridge or multiplexer there is

 

a Fibre Channel interface while on the other side there are

 

parallel SCSI ports. The bridge or multiplexer enables SCSI

 

packets to be moved between the Fibre Channel and parallel

 

SCSI devices.

file depot

A file containing the data from a backup to a file library device.

file jukebox device

A device residing on disk consisting of multiple slots used to

 

store file media.

file library device

A device which resides on a disk emulating a library with several

 

media, hence containing multiple files, referred to as file depots.

File Replication

A Windows service that replicates the domain controller store

Service (FRS)

logon scripts and group policies. FRS also enables replication

 

of Distributed File System (DFS) shares between systems and

 

allows any server to perform replication activity.

file tree walk

(Windows specific term) The process of traversing a filesystem

 

to determine which objects have been created, modified, or

 

deleted.

file version

The same file can be backed up multiple times in case of full

 

backups and incremental backups (if the file changed). If the

 

log level ALL is selected for backup, Data Protector retains one

 

entry in the IDB for the filename itself and one for each version

 

(date/time) of the file.

filesystem

The organization of files on a hard disk. A filesystem is backed

 

up so that the file attributes and the file contents are stored on

 

the backup media.

first-level mirror

(HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific term) HP StorageWorks

 

Disk Array XP allows up to three mirror copies of a primary

 

volume and each of these copies can have additional two

 

copies. The three mirror copies are called first-level mirrors.
