Disk storage Management is a system utility in Windows that enables you to perform advanced storage tasks like setting up a new drive, extending a volume into space that's not already part of a volume on the same drive, shrinking a partition-usually so that you can extend a neighbouring partition, changing a drive letter or assign a new drive letter. For mission-critical systems and compliance reasons, storage disk is practical as it provides low latency and high throughput. Zmanda's disk storage technology ensures disaster recovery is made simple, secure, and reliable.

Using disk storage for a backup provides a number of important benefits:

• The backup window (in other words, the total time to execute backups) can be reduced.

• Files can be conveniently restored directly from the disk, speeding the restore process.

Disk can be locally attached disk or NAS or SAN device. Disk must accessible from the Amanda server. We designed Zmanda to ensure backup runs never impact system performance. It runs quietly in the background enabling employees to focus on work that matters most to them. Meeting disaster recovery objectives with Zmanda's disk storage technologies is straightforward, preventing massive downtimes and hurting the brand reputation.

Amanda gives you the capability to use disk storage as backup media. Configuring, initiating and verifying a backup will complete the backup cycle, all in less than the time it takes for a pizza to be delivered! The basic Amanda setup consists of an Amanda server, the Amanda client or clients that are to be backed up, and the backup storage media such as a tape or hard disk device. An intermediate holding area for caching data is not absolutely necessary, but will improve performance significantly and is considered part of a basic setup.

Amanda is designed to handle large numbers of clients and data, yet is reasonably simple to install and maintain. It scales well up and down, so small configurations, even a single client, are possible. There are many users who back up just a single client that is also the Amanda server. On the other hand, many Amanda users backup hundreds and even thousands of file systems (there could be multiple file systems per protected system) to a large tape library with multiple drives.
