Abstract: An illustrative report server interoperates with one or more enhanced storage managers to evaluate whether backup operations and restore operations meet their recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO), respectively. RTO is evaluated using a tiered approach based on past performance of restore and/or backup operations. The illustrative storage manager executes pre-defined queries that extract relevant information from an associated database that houses information about storage operations. The report server recommends alternative kinds of backup operations for data that fails to meet its RTO using traditional backups. The report server is configured to analyze and report RPO and RTO readiness for several levels of data entities, including multiple systems, single system, groups of clients, single clients, and subclients.

A controller uses this information to independently control the bias voltages of the two indirectly heated cathodes so as to vary the uniformity of the ribbon ion beam. In certain embodiments, the current passing through each filament may also be independently controlled by the controller.
