Data Protection

You don't miss your water ‘til the well

runs dry

William Bell from the album The Soul of

a Bell (1961)

You don’t miss your data unless

it’s gone

Always fulfill the core

intention: Ensure the

required SLAs

Typical challenges for data protection

• Perception of backup (-> cost)

• Compliance requirements

• Data growth & Migration costs

• Level of disaster resilience and risk

The proof point for a backup solution is

the restore case

Enterprise Deduplication SolutionMultiple types of dedup solutions standing side-by-side does NOT equal an enterprise dedup solution

Source Dedupnext to

Target Dedupdoes NOT

equal “Enterprise

Dedup”


Target based dedup

• No global deduplication between source & target deduplication solutions ( Duplicate copies of data exist on BOTH deduplication storage devices ? )

• More “data hops” = “more negative impact to network”

• Restores require multiple “re-hydrations”, and multiple hops ( DD Avamar client ), which hurts your RTO

Real world backup performance increaseNetBackup & ETERNUS CS vs. Competitor “C”

Main drivers:

#1 Leverage functionalities like VIP, SANbackup, Offhost backup etc.

#2 Usage of disk based storage

#3 Dedup only where it makes sense

#4 Fulfill business aspects: Often restore SLAs are more importantthan backup SLAs

#5 System tuning (e.g. buffer size, DBparameters, firewall rules, SLP settings)

#6 CS8000 automate and control thecreation of 2nd. or 3rd. backup copies

#7 Tight integration of ETERNUS CS intoNetBackup


New Features• Accelerator

• Accelerator for VMware

• Instant Recovery VMware (IRV)

• Array based Snapshots for VMware


NetBackup Accelerator for VMware

Accelerator is “The Perfect Incremental”

Traditional Incremental backups require processing during backup to determine changes

Change Journaling / CBT tracks changes as they occur (eliminates processing at backup time)

NBU Accelerator utilizes data change tracking technologies to eliminate change processing time & overhead

NBU 7.5 introduced Change Journaling for Windows clients

Windows clients with change journaling enabled

Targeted at files (CIFS/NFS)

NBU 7.6 introduced Change Block Tracking (CBT)

VMware environments

Accelerator does NOT replace deduplication

Ideal solution is to use BOTH Accelerator and NBU client side dedup


Traditional Full BackupStep 1: Read All data

Step 2: Send all data

Step 3: Write all data (including duplicates)

Step 4: Send all metadata to NBU catalog

Results:

High I/O cost

Moderate CPU cost for long durations on client

High network cost

High storage cost and catalog growth

Advantages of the NetBackup Accelerator for VMware

– Significantly less CPU utilization saves HW and VMware license costs

– Backup is significantly faster – backup more VMs with same/less HW

– Retain all restore functionality – single file, folder, VM, database, application

Backup Processing Impact ESXi HostCPU Utilization

Standard FULL VADP backup (NBD transport)

NetBackup Accelerator For VMware


Advantages of the NetBackup Accelerator Backup (network)

– Significantly less network traffic on already busy VMkernel port (NIC)

– Less backup hardware required

– Shorter backup window

Backup Processing Impact ESXi HostNetwork Utilization

Standard FULL VADP backup (NBD transport)

NetBackup Accelerator For VMware


Instantly power on any protected VM from

disk backup target

No need to restore VM first

Uses standard NetBackup backup images

No need to change any backup process

Supported on SYMC disk based solutions

Basic disk, Advanced disk, MSDP

Once powered on, VM is 100% available

After power-on, VM disks transferred to ESXi storage

(Storage VMotion)

Storage VMotion ensures no disruption of service
