With the latest enhancements to these solutions, SMBs can seamlessly back up and manage a wide variety of databases and applications through a centralized backup server to disk, tape or cloud storage.

"With the new versions of Amanda Enterprise and Zmanda Recovery Manager, we continue to deliver on our commitment to simplifying backup management for SMBs so our customers can focus on their business, not their backups."
"By developing intuitive interfaces, the Zmanda solutions further enable system administrators to easily manage their backups, and they can rely on active monitoring and reporting to give them confidence in the robustness of their infrastructure," continued Kant.

ZRM for MySQL is particularly useful in environments with multiple MySQL databases and can integrate into any network backup infrastructure. With ZRM, instead of implementing and monitoring a MySQL backup script on each MySQL server, MySQL database administrators can centrally install and monitor backups of MySQL databases across the enterprise.
