notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
• Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it
should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
• The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal
obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential future products may not
be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or
functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion.
• Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon
many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the users job stream, the
I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be
given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

• The accepted rule for backup best practices is the
three-two-one rule.
• It can be summarized as: if you are backing something
up, you should have:
– At least three copies
– In two different formats
– With one of those copies off-site
• Operational Recovery – Near-instant data-recovery, typically
via snapshots
• Data Reuse - Ability to use backup data copies for multiple
business use cases, typically Dev/Ops, Analytics, Reporting
