11 Chapter 1 Overview This chapter includes the following topics: About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) About improvements to the synthetic backup process About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) The NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) is a plug-in that uses the NetBackup OpenStorage API to enable NetBackup to write backups to a PureDisk storage pool. All the data that is written to a PureDisk storage pool is deduplicated. In general, deduplication is a method of retaining only one unique instance of backup data on storage media. Redundant data is replaced with a pointer to the unique data copy. Deduplication significantly reduces the amount of storage space for the NetBackup backup copies. All data that a PDDO agent or that a PureDisk backup client writes to a PureDisk storage pool are deduplicated. When two or more files share identical content, PureDisk breaks the files into segments and stores only one copy of each unique file segment. The following figure shows how deduplication works.

12 12 Overview About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) Figure 1-1 Client files to be backed up A File deduplication File 1 File 2 B C D E A B Q D L A B C D E Q L Data written to content routers Note the following in this figure: PureDisk breaks file 1 into segments A, B, C, D, and E. PureDisk breaks file 2 into segments A, B, Q, D, and L. PureDisk writes file segments A, B, C, D, and E from file 1, and file segments Q, and L from file 2 on its content routers only one time. PureDisk does not write file segments A, B, and D from file 2 to the content routers. Instead, PureDisk points to the unique data copies of file segments A, B, and D that were already written to the content routers from file 1. Note: When using PDDO to deduplicate database backups (Oracle, MS SQL, and MS Exchange), snapshot-based backups deduplicate better than stream-based backups. Before you install and implement the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option, make sure that the following conditions are true: The PureDisk storage pool software is configured and functions normally. The NetBackup media server is configured and functions normally. You are familiar with the concepts and procedures that are described in the NetBackup AdvancedDisk Storage Solutions Guide, the Symantec NetBackup OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk, and your NetBackup administrator s guides. After you install a PureDisk storage pool, you can download the PureDisk agent software to a computer. Next you can configure it to assume one of the following roles: A backup and restore agent.

13 Overview About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) 13 You can configure a backup and restore agent on any client that PureDisk supports. The Symantec Technical Support compatibility matrix explains the platforms upon which you can configure a PureDisk backup and restore client. A PDDO plug-in. You can configure a PDDO plug-in on a NetBackup media server. The NetBackup media server can be a Linux, Solaris SPARC, IBM AIX, or Windows platform computer. After you configure the plug-in, the media server can use the PureDisk storage pool as a NetBackup OpenStorage disk pool. When you download the PureDisk agent software onto a NetBackup media server, the agent software detects the media server software. It issues the installation prompts that let you configure the agent as a PDDO plug-in. Make sure that you configure the media server software before you download the PureDisk agent software to the media server. See PDDO configuration examples on page 13. PDDO configuration examples The following examples describe PureDisk and NetBackup configurations. The examples do not show any PureDisk backup and restore clients as being directly attached to PureDisk. However, PureDisk can act both as a storage unit to NetBackup and as a backup repository for its own PureDisk clients. When the storage pools fill up, you can add additional content routers to hold additional backup data from NetBackup and from the PureDisk clients. Example 1: Deduplication See Example 1: Deduplication on page 13. Example 2: Multistreaming See Example 2: Multistreaming on page 14. Example 3: Replication See Example 3: Replication on page 15. Example 1: Deduplication Two NetBackup environments with the PDDO plug-in each backup two clients. NetBackup then sends backup data to the PureDisk storage pool for deduplication. The PureDisk storage pool also deduplicates the data from its client. The following figure shows how the PDDO plug-in works in this scenario to deduplicate data.

14 14 Overview About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) Figure 1-2 Deduplication NetBackup Client PureDisk Client NetBackup Client NetBackup Media Server + PDDO Deduplication Deduplication NetBackup Client Deduplication NetBackup Client NetBackup Media Server + PDDO PureDisk storage pool See PDDO configuration examples on page 13. Example 2: Multistreaming The NetBackup policy defines multiple data streams from the client to the NetBackup media server. NetBackup sends data to the PureDisk storage pool in multiple streams. The following figure shows how NetBackup multistreaming works in an environment that includes both NetBackup and PureDisk.

15 Overview About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) 15 Figure 1-3 Multistreaming NetBackup Client NetBackup Media Server + PDDO PureDisk storage pool See PDDO configuration examples on page 13. Example 3: Replication PureDisk s replication feature is similar to NetBackup s optimized duplication feature. Replication gives you more options if you need to restore data because you can restore from either storage pool. You can replicate the data from a given PureDisk storage pool to another PureDisk storage pool with one of the following features: PureDisk replication NetBackup optimized duplication Both features transfer only the changed data segments directly between the PureDisk storage pools. NetBackup media servers can restore data from either storage pool. When you replicate data between storage pools, you create a very efficient data transfer environment for disaster recovery scenarios. NetBackup does not keep track of PureDisk replicated images. Images can be imported into NetBackup. If you use optimized deduplication, the media server must be registered with both storage pools. The following figure shows how you can use PureDisk s replication feature with PDDO when you have two PureDisk storage pools.

16 16 Overview About improvements to the synthetic backup process Figure 1-4 Replication Restore Restore PureDisk storage pool NetBackup Client Backup NetBackup Media Server + PDDO Replication (Optimized duplication) Backup PureDisk storage pool See PDDO configuration examples on page 13. About improvements to the synthetic backup process Starting with PureDisk 6.6 and NetBackup 6.5.4, the process for creating synthetic backups is improved. The new process for creating optimized synthetic full backups is through the manipulation of NetBackup catalog metadata and PDDO data

17 Overview About improvements to the synthetic backup process 17 segment pointers. Only the metadata and pointers are manipulated. In the new optimized synthetic backup process, the backup image data is not read from disk, transported across the network, or manipulated. Using the new optimized synthetic full backup process allows the creation of full backups with a significant performance improvement. The optimized synthetic backup is then stored on a PDDO storage unit as an ordered collection of data segments representing a new full backup. The benefit of the optimized synthetic full backup is the ability to run a single full backup, and then only incremental backups from that point forward. Ongoing NetBackup incremental backups of only new or modified data allows users to quickly create a new full backup, at any point in time, by performing an optimized synthetic full backup. See About the NetBackup PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) on page 11.

19 Chapter 2 Downloading the PDDO plug-in This chapter includes the following topics: About downloading the PDDO plug-in Verifying your environment Verifying or installing the PDDO license on a NetBackup master server Downloading the PDDO plug-in to a media server About downloading the PDDO plug-in The PDDO plug-in software is available as a link from the storage pool authority landing page. The download process includes system verification steps and the actual download steps themselves. To download the PDDO plug-in 1 Verify your environment. See Verifying your environment on page Verify or install the PDDO license on a NetBackup master server. See Verifying or installing the PDDO license on a NetBackup master server on page Download the plug-in to a media server. See Downloading the PDDO plug-in to a media server on page 22.

20 20 Downloading the PDDO plug-in Verifying your environment Verifying your environment Before you download or install the PDDO plug-in, perform the following procedure. To verify your environment 1 Verify that NetBackup 6.5 or later is installed and configured on the media server that you want to use. To verify your release level, perform the following steps: Logon to the NetBackup Administration Console. Click Help. Click About NetBackup Administration Console. Visually inspect the number to the right of Version. Make sure that you can perform backups and restores with NetBackup. For information about how to configure NetBackup, see your NetBackup installation documentation. 2 Verify that the NetBackup media server upon which you want to install the PDDO client is a good candidate for this purpose. The hardware must be suited for both I/O and for computation. PDDO increases the computational load on a media server because it calculates data deduplication. Verify your media server s hardware capabilities to ensure an optimal PDDO configuration. 3 Verify that the PureDisk storage pool is configured and operational. The NetBackup interface refers to the PureDisk storage pool as a "storage server." Make sure that you can perform regular file backups from a client and restores to a client. Install a regular PureDisk backup and restore agent on a client computer to perform this test. Do not install the regular backup and restore client on the media server. Symantec does not support both a backup and restore client and a PDDO plug-in on one NetBackup media server. Information about how to install a PureDisk backup and restore client is available. See the PureDisk Client Installation Guide. 4 Verify or install the PDDO license. See Verifying or installing the PDDO license on a NetBackup master server on page 21.

53 Chapter 6 Using PureDisk as a NetBackup storage unit This chapter includes the following topics: About the PDDO plug-in in the PureDisk administrative Web UI Adding an additional PureDisk storage pool to a NetBackup media server About configuring NetBackup lifecycle policies Disaster recovery configuration example About PureDisk garbage collection policies Retrieving job reports About job details reports About data mining reports About central reporting Displaying the agent dashboard About recovery of a PureDisk storage pool used as a PDDO plug-in Changing the storage pool authority password when PDDO is enabled About throttling PDDO replication and duplication jobs About reporting PureDisk resource usage to NetBackup

54 54 Using PureDisk as a NetBackup storage unit About the PDDO plug-in in the PureDisk administrative Web UI About the PDDO plug-in in the PureDisk administrative Web UI This topic describes some of the operations that you can perform with a PureDisk storage pool after you configure it as a NetBackup storage unit. After you enable PDDO, the PureDisk administrative Web UI reflects jobs initiated both by NetBackup and by PureDisk. The following figure shows an example of a PureDisk display. Figure 6-1 PDDO client icon PDDO Activity Data selection icon Policies that affect this data selection Replication icon replication from another storage pool to here See Figure 6-1 on page 54. for the PureDisk displays of the following types of icons for PDDO plug-in activity: The client icon. Each PureDisk client appears in the PureDisk storage pool s administrative Web UI. The PDDO client icon represents all the media servers that are attached to this storage pool. No matter how many media servers you attach to this storage pool, only one PDDO client icon appears. The data selection icon.

55 Using PureDisk as a NetBackup storage unit Adding an additional PureDisk storage pool to a NetBackup media server 55 This icon represents data backups from one or more NetBackup media servers to this PureDisk storage pool. Only one data selection icon for the PDDO storage unit can exist. One or more policy icons. This display shows the policy icon System policy for data removal. By default, you specify data retention in the NetBackup policy. PureDisk removes expired data when the system policy for data removal runs. One or more replication data selection icons. These icons are [R] PDDO(n) icons. One icon exists for each PureDisk PDDO data selection that is replicated to this storage pool from another storage pool. This icon represents one or more of the following replication actions: A PureDisk replication from one storage pool to this storage pool. An optimized duplication action from one storage pool to this storage pool. NetBackup initiates this action, which is a form of replication. Do not use these icons to interpret specific system activity. If you specified optimized duplication in NetBackup, use the NetBackup interface to see if the job finished. If you specified replication in PureDisk, click the PureDisk Workflows tab and examine the replication activity from that tab. If you have two PureDisk storage pools, you might also notice [R][R] icons. These icons represent replication from one storage pool to another, and then back again. In the right column, PureDisk displays storage pool job activity. NetBackup initiates most of the jobs that are related to the PDDO storage unit. When you click a PDDO icon in the middle column, PureDisk changes the display in the right column to show job activity for that icon. See Adding an additional PureDisk storage pool to a NetBackup media server on page 55. Adding an additional PureDisk storage pool to a NetBackup media server A NetBackup media server can send data to more than one PureDisk storage pool. When a media server is configured to target two different PureDisk storage pools, you can run duplicate backups from NetBackup to both storage pools. The following procedure explains how to configure a media server to send backups to an additional PureDisk storage pool.

56 56 Using PureDisk as a NetBackup storage unit Adding an additional PureDisk storage pool to a NetBackup media server To add an additional PureDisk storage server to a NetBackup media server 1 Logon to the NetBackup media server. 2 Create the PureDisk storage server and add credentials. This step differs depending on your platform. (Linux or UNIX) At the system prompt, run the following command to create the PureDisk storage server and add credentials: # /opt/pdag/bin/pddocfg.sh --addspa --mediaserver=ms_addr --storageserver=spa_addr The arguments to this command are as follows: ms_addr Specifies the media server s FQDN, host name, or IP address. Symantec recommends that you type the full FQDN of the media server. For example, acctms.acme.com. spa_addr Specifies the PureDisk storage pool authority s FQDN (recommended), host name, or IP address. The storage pool authority identifies itself with this address. You also enter this address in a browser window to logon to the storage pool authority. If the storage pool authority is clustered, type the service FQDN, service host name, or service IP address. Type the storage pool authority administrator s user ID and password when the pddocfg command issues prompts for this information. (Windows) Configure the additional PureDisk storage server using steps 1 though 5 of the following procedure: See To configure the PureDisk storage pool as a NetBackup storage server on page 38. Under Target, specify Add New Storage Server.

57 Using PureDisk as a NetBackup storage unit About configuring NetBackup lifecycle policies 57 3 Verify the storage server in the NetBackup interface. The following figure shows an example environment with two PureDisk storage servers. 4 Verify NetBackup and create a NetBackup policy. See Verifying the NetBackup configuration and creating a NetBackup policy on page 48. About configuring NetBackup lifecycle policies When you configure two or more PureDisk storage pools as NetBackup disk pools, you also can configure a lifecycle policy. A NetBackup lifecycle policy is a storage plan for a set of backups. It lets you manage different kinds of data in your backups. A lifecycle policy specifies the following information: A list of destinations to which NetBackup writes copies of the backup images. NetBackup can initiate a duplication or optimized duplication between disk pools. If two or more of the disk pool destinations are PureDisk storage pools, NetBackup can perform this duplication as an optimized duplication.
