Vertices 5.2 Upgrades

  • Scan the media at your offsite vendor, onsite facility, or take a report from your offsite vendor and compare that list against a site in Vertices. Any discrepancies will be indicated, and you will be walked through how to resolve them. In addition, all discrepancies, successful scans, and resolutions are journalized for auditing purposes.
  • Download a subsection of a tape rack or media to the scanner, and scan the media. The reconcile is done on the scanner itself. Afterwards load the file back into Vertices to update the database with the changes made. All scans and resolutions are journalized for auditing purposes.
  • Scan media and save the file as a *.csv file, which can be used in a variety of third-party programs.
  • Easily mark media to indicate it's encrypted, it needs further researching, or it is a virtual tape
  • In datasets, the keyword has changed to Automation, and it can now map tapes to media and master servers. This provides an easy way to see what tapes were backed up by what Media and Master Servers. In addition, you can see what keywords were written to the media.
  • You're now able to download even more information to your batch scanner including user, sites, slots, and media
  • We've added a "Purge Date" column on scanned media, allowing you to easily discover the purge date of a particular piece of media
  • Quickly discover media types by site by simply running a quick report that indicates the number of desired media at each Vertices site
  • Vertices now only resends selected FTPs instead of all FTPs when there is an error, keeping you and the offsite vendor synchronized with your media
  • Passwords are now sent to the scanner from Vertices allowing only those with the appropriate username and password to access the scanner
  • The font size of the scanner was increased for easier viewing
  • Prefixes are now in a drop down menu, which means no more scanning the appropriate prefix just select one from the drop down menu
