Backup and recovery in the IBM information network
K. Bhadra, S. M. Schiffman · 1983
The IBM Information Network is a nationwide system network architecture (SNA) network that provides users access to application offerings and network services. This paper describes the design of backup and recovery methods for insuring that the availability of the network is maintained. The communication management configuration (CMC) is highlighted and the uses of current SNA capabilities to provide dynamic switching are shown. In addition, operational and human factors in achieving and managing backup are described.
