Media Server Encryption Option provides more flexibility number of clients deployed. for backup to tape leverages the NetBackup media Application protection To ensure business-critical applications are not over- or underprotected, organisations must create a tiered protection strategy. The NetBackup Platform provides a server, thereby avoiding client performance impact. Centralised integrated key management service for encrypted tape drives. variety of technologies to aid in the creation of a tiered Complete simple virtual machine protection protection strategy that is both reliable cost-effective. Virtualisation has created both new opportunities Highlights include: challenges in the data center, including slower backup Application database agents For the protection 1 of business-critical applications databases, recovery, increased storage consumption, yet another technology to learn manage. NetBackup provides application-aware agents that enable hot/online backup, wizard-based configuration, support for application-specific tools such as Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). Snapshot integration For more sophisticated protection, NetBackup integrates with a variety of different disk array software-based snapshot methods, including off-host backup instant recovery. The key benefit is that snapshots are managed in the same NetBackup policy, catalog, schedule interface as tape or any other type of streaming backup. Figure 2. NetBackup provides centralized protection across virtual machine environments. Continuous data protection replication For more NetBackup 7 delivers simple comprehensive data advanced protection, NetBackup integrates with NetBackup protection for virtual environments by building on the RealTime2 to perform continuous data protection (CDP) successful foundation of NetBackup 6.5 s award-winning live IP-based replication to dramatically lower recovery- VMware support.

3 incremental technologies, as well as delivering highly NetBackup 7 has client deduplication built right into the efficient single file restore. product for fast, secure, efficient backup recovery. Feature Benefit A single, efficient backup, great for disaster Image-level backup recovery while retaining the ability to discover instant file-level recovery easily recover such items as a single PowerPoint or Word document Incremental off-host backup support for VMware Hyper-V Less data is sent over the network, backups are more successful faster, they require fewer storage resources, increasing overall efficiencies Instant file-level recovery from incremental, block-level backups of VMware vsphere Automatic discovery of individual files without having to re-assemble mount the.vmdk image file first, making recoveries focused fast Resource-efficient backups also available via the NetBackup deduplication client Deduplication of the virtual machine image further reduces the storage footprint, saving backup time storage resources Client deduplication removes redundant data at the source, which leads to lower CPU, I/O, memory utilisation compared to a traditional backup, freeing up more client resources for production services. Client deduplication can deliver up to 10x faster backups. Highlights include: Native deduplication embedded in NetBackup Client deduplication is built right into NetBackup, so no separate appliance is required. Application support Client deduplication is ideal for stard file data; however, it can also be useful for Table 1. Features Benefits of NetBackup Virtual Machine Protection application databases that are supported by NetBackup. Compatibility with NetBackup PureDisk NetBackup clients can store deduplicated data a NetBackup Store efficiently Deduplicate everywhere NetBackup delivers deduplication everywhere, for remote media server deduplication pool or a NetBackup PureDisk storage pool. Virtual machine protection Using a NetBackup client sites or data centers, is ideal for the protection of inside a virtual guest reduces the backup impact on the virtual environments. overall virtual infrastructure by deduplicating the data at the source, thereby sending only unique data changes over the network. NetBackup media server deduplication NetBackup has target deduplication built right into the media server which allows it to be used with existing disk. Setup is as easy as clicking a box. The NetBackup media server offers inline deduplication by processing the data streams in flight requiring no extra staging disks for processing, leading to optimal use of storage. Through NetBackup s storage lifecycle policies, you have the option Figure 3. NetBackup deduplication allows you to choose your desired deduplication point--source, target or integration with appliances via NetBackup OpenStorage API. to implement post-process deduplication. Highlights include: Faster backups NetBackup target deduplication NetBackup client deduplication removes redundant data inline, before storing to disk; Removing redundant data, as close to the source as therefore, much less data is moved eventually stored possible, maximises the benefits of deduplication. to the final destination.
