FC bridge
See Fibre Channel bridge
Fibre Channel
An ANSI standard for high-speed
computer interconnection. Using either
optical or copper cables, it allows the
high speed bidirectional transmission of
large data files and can be deployed
between sites kilometers apart.
Fibre Channel connects nodes using
three physical topologies: point-to-
point, loop, and switched.
Fibre Channel bridge
A Fibre Channel bridge or multiplexer
provides the ability to migrate existing
parallel SCSI devices, like RAID arrays,
solid state disks (SSD), and tape
libraries to a Fibre Channel
environment. On one side of the bridge
or multiplexer there is a Fibre Channel
interface while on the other side there
are parallel SCSI ports. The bridge or
multiplexer enables SCSI packets to be
moved between the Fibre Channel and
parallel SCSI devices.
file depot
A file containing the data from a backup
to a file library device.
file jukebox device
A device residing on disk consisting of
multiple slots used to store file media.
file library device
A device which resides on a disk
emulating a library with several media,
hence containing multiple files, referred
to as file depots.
File Replication Service (FRS)
A Windows service that replicates the
domain controller store logon scripts
and group policies. FRS also enables
replication of Distributed File System
(DFS) shares between systems and
allows any server to perform replication
activity.
file version
The same file can be backed up multiple
times in case of full backups and
incremental backups (if the file
changed). If the log level ALL is
selected for backup, Data Protector
retains one entry in the IDB for the
filename itself and one for each version
(date/time) of the file.
