What Is Orphan Data? (and why you need to know about it)
Orphan data is the data that is created after your last back-up. If you experience an outage on your IBM iSeries system, then this data will be lost because it has not been backed up to tape.
The questions you should now ask yourself are:
- What are the impacts to our business and our customers if we lose data?
- What does this equate to in terms of dollars and our company’s reputation?
- Can we recreate the lost data?
- How long would it take to rekey the lost data?
A Simple Solution - *noMAX sentry
The entry-level *noMAX product, *noMAX sentry, is a simple, cost-effective solution to eliminate orphan data and the risks associated with it. It just requires a *noMAX license on your secondary machine.

Success Story - a recent happy *noMAX customer
Thank you Hilton for your kind words and the feedback you provided after setting up *noMAX…
“To date, 6 of the 7 data libraries have been configured and implemented and, apart from initial settling down type minor issues, they are all behaving impeccably, leaving me little to do each day except confirm that all is well and the message queues are empty. It really has been pleasant dealing with software that just gets on with the job - my thanks to all of you.”
