Online Backup and Recovery:
(Electronic Vaulting) DefinedInvolves the scheduled movement of “point-
in-time” snapshots of data volumes across a
network to a remote location.
Enables recovery of prior “point-in-time”
snapshots of data volumes across a network
from a remote location.
Recoveries could consist of portions of data
volumes (i.e. files or folders) or entire data
volumes.
Why Backup and Recover Online?
Send backup data off-site immediately
Reduce backup windows
Eliminate tape management hassles
Recover off-site data faster
Eliminate tape and data format obsolescence
Minimize costs associated with distributed backups
• Exceeds majority
of user restore requirements
• Restores begin immediately
• Most restores are less than 1GB (90%+ are simple file or
folder restore)
• As a result, the majority of all
restores can be performed via
E-Vaulting over a DSL line in < 2
hours
Cumulative Restores Annually (estimated)
Most Restores are small…

Restores that can be serviced online immediately by E-Vaulting
E-Vaulting is fast, efficient and reliable:Only changed blocks within file are transmitted after first backup (Delta Processing)
Backup Restore Transmission Protocol (BRTP) - for controlling session achieves high performance and reliability.
Storage architecture manages many versions of client data in a relatively small footprint.

E-Vaulting is the future of Backup
Disk to disk backup has many advantages over traditional methods
- Immediately off-site
- Better security - Instant recovery - Better reliability & consistency - Data lifespan is longer

Dimensions of Storage Management
Bruce Backa,
CTO
NTP Software
The Dimensions
• Real-time management– actions that have to be taken as events occur, such as
limits
• Non real-time management– post-facto analysis, I.e.: reporting, cost allocation
• Instrumentation– speeds, feeds, and errors
How the Issues Stack Up
• The challenges in storage management occur along one or more of these dimensions
• Knowing where the issue is tells you what type of technology you need to address it
What About the Cost?
• Storage technology is expensive enough to command management - we have to do it
• Better use of resources might help with some of the costs
• Process automation - relieving the load of network admins. and help desk staff more than covers it
NTP Software’s Product Set
• The focus of our products is real-time and classic SRM applications
• We integrate with the hardware manufacturer’s instrumentation and frameworks such as Tivoli and Unicenter
• Our products form the basis of your storage policies, process and work flow automation
Tool
Conclusion
• We have to manage• We can cover the cost of the technology by
better use of resources and process automation
• NTP Software’s applications and the EASE policy engine give you what you need to get the job done

Market Reaction
We just spent 25 million on our first SAN, if we don’t set up best practices from the start, we won’t truly leverage the shared infrastructure -- VP, major insurance
company
We are looking to take system availability from 3 to 4 ‘nines’. Networked storage skills are scarce. Indio ‘replicates’ the knowledge of our experts -- dramatically improving the quality of our operations -- VP, information services
provider
Indio allows us to rollout new systems and services to our users, here, or around the world, and get it right the first time.
