St. Bernard's Open File Manager to Be Sold With Legato Systems, Tantia Technologies, Rutilus Software and Yosemite Technologies Backup

and Disaster Recovery Products

St. Bernard Software, a global provider of Internet Infrastructure Management (I2M) solutions, Tuesday announced extended partnerships with Legato Systems and Tantia Technologies as well as two new OEM partnership agreements with Rutilus Software and Yosemite Technologies.

The respective companies will replicate and/or integrate St. Bernard's Open File Manager with their backup solutions, offering a complete open file solution for backup and disaster recovery packages on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms.

An organization's most critical files are often those that are open and in use during backup, thus skipped or corrupted and unrestorable when needed. Open File Manager's ability to capture and protect open files within relational applications on remote servers complements the backup and disaster recovery solutions that Legato, Tantia, Rutilus and Yosemite currently offer. Legato's NetWorker is a preferred solution for addressing the data storage needs of large and small heterogeneous enterprise environments. It delivers superior results in manageability, performance, and scalability. It also provides fast, reliable and complete data backup and recovery for all systems, databases and enterprise servers running critical applications.

Tantia's Harbor Backup is a client/server solution for backup/recovery that is based on a multi-tier architecture to ensure unlimited scalability, without network disruptions, and offers LAN-less backup/recovery and data migration for enterprise class SAN environments. Tantia's Harbor Backup also offers archives/retrievals and automated disaster recovery for distributed system environments and provides re-centralization of all backup data into the data center.

Rutilus Software Inc. provides small, medium and enterprise-sized businesses with a wide range of data protection products. Rutilus' product line includes SmartBack 2000, providing desktop and laptop workgroup data protection, backup and immediate restore capabilities; SmartBack Server, delivering advanced data protection for servers and networked clients while utilizing minimal IT resources; and eBack DataCenter, providing advanced workgroup data storage, Internet access and data protection.

Yosemite Technologies' TapeWare storage management software offers backup and restore of any combination of Windows, Linux, or NetWare servers and workstations. They also extend backup software services to Microsoft SQL Server, Exhange Server or Cluster Server. TapeWare can be accessed from any point on the network and customers can schedule custom or pre-configured backups with its modular architecture.

"St. Bernard is pleased to have OEM agreements with such high-quality and respected companies as Legato, Tantia, Rutilus and Yosemite," said Jeff Graham, business development manager for St. Bernard Software. "These agreements validate the need for companies to restore their mission-critical data by offering them complete backup and disaster recovery solutions."
