FC bridge

See Fibre Channel bridge

Fibre Channel

An ANSI standard for high-speed computer interconnection. Using either optical or copper cables, it allows the high speed bidirectional 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 bridge

A Fibre Channel bridge or multiplexer provides the ability to 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 Service (FRS)

A Windows service that replicates the domain controller store 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 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.
