NetVault Daten- Backup und Restore Lösungen page 1 / 8
NetVault data backup and restore solutions Every successful company knows how important it is to business-critical data with programs for data backup and recovery to protect. The current storage environment is changing rapidly, however. Some IT organizations enhance their environments with NAS and SAN, while others seek to Down - sizing and centralize their IT services to a smaller number of systems with high performance and low cost - through the use of Linux, for example. The functionality of products for backup and restore, which have until now been using is, however, too small for growth and performance, or the products are too expensive to be a flexible high - to be suitable performance solution. Meet the requirements for new storage management software, the amount of data that companies from the stored is growing all the time, and due to the distributed computing - model business-critical data is stored often decentralized, thus increasing the cost of data management. Current market trends show a Tendency to centralize this data. Today, 70% of the data still resides on storage systems that directly connected to the computers, one of which it is used. Analysts forecast, however, by the year 2006 70% of the data on the centralized NAS and SANbased storage systems are located. IT departments are faced with the difficult task of storing increasing amounts of data on low-cost servers (downsizing). Without proper tools, this task is, however, to an unreachable goal. Have bought and backup and restore tools were useful for environments that prevailed five years ago. Today's computing environment places greater demands on storage software, must offer new methods for managing data storage. NetVault via modular architecture keeps pace with changes To meet the demand for a flexible IT solution on a limited budget, BakBone NetVault developed with a modular design. NetVault, unique in this regard, has no monolithic architecture and introduces the concept of "plug-ins" in backup software. About the Plug-in design concept, the net vault developers bring new solutions and features faster to rapidly changing market. The modular architecture allows NetVault to modify it so that a variety of new database versions, operating system versions, tape library support equipment and other applications - regardless of NetVault Core. The modular architecture of the time needed for adaptation and release of a new plugin will be drastically reduced, extending the entire life cycle of NetVault time in the IT department. This in turn lowers IT costs and reduce the need for new solutions, while IT environments change. If a plugin is needed, the update will be done online - thus reducing downtime and reinstall the backup software - package is not necessary. The licensing has also been simplified. The modular architecture of NetVault saves IT staff time when they can do other important system administration tasks. Reduced administration / Lower Cost of Ownership Simply put, NetVault can be so easy to implement that you can devote your time to the backup and restore concept and especially not the initial installation. Thus, the total cost of ownership is significantly reduced. If the backup system will be expanded with new equipment, this can be added simply by administrators and configured in minutes. Supported platforms: Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, NetWare, Mac OS, etc. - Supports almost all major computing platforms. A GUI on all platforms: Either Unix, Linux, FreeBSD or Windows, NetVault offers on all platforms on the same user - cut agency, which saves time and money for training when NetVault is to be implemented on different platforms. Centralized management: NetVault Server with several different client backup schedules and different devices can be managed with a central NetVault Domain Management Terminal. Architecture: BakBone NetVault is a software that supports a variety of operating systems, including Unix, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, NetWare, Mac OS, with full cross-platform support. A NetVault domain consists of a central server with multiple NetVault NetVault clients that are managed by this server. The NetVault domain - management can be done not only through direct access to the NetVault Server NetVault domain, but also from other remote locations on the network. Backup operations can be fully automated via scheduling, where both disks and tapes can be used as storage systems. Shared Memory: The NetVault feature shared memory improves performance and allows the administrator to define how much I / O page 2 / 8
buffer cache to be used, allowing precise adjustment of the backup process. Network Compression: For networks with low data bandwidth, the NetVault - compress client data blocks before sending them over the network, thereby increasing throughput. Accurate image restoration: When data is restored, have been changed, deleted, added or updated, the NetVault provides the backup to the existing disk file - system image accurate restores. Even if the incremental backup Data, the original state of the file system is restored carefully. Compatibility with standard tape formats: If Unix or Linux is used, the data are written in CPIO format, on Windows, the default Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) is used. Although NetVault is not installed, the data can be restored using the standard utilities operating systems. The recoverability of the data is hereby guaranteed. Expand your storage options Wide variety of storage options: Support for DAS / SAN / NAS: NetVault supports virtually all tape drives, autoloaders, and libraries that are on the market today, including the latest LTO2 and SDLT tape drives. Backups can be performed regardless of whether the tape drives are connected to servers via SCSI, or iscsi SAN. For NAS devices, the NDMP Support (EMC, NetApp, etc.), the backup data via NDMP be sent, whereby the data transmission is optimized. Dynamic drive usage on the SAN: DSD NetVault module (Dynamic Shared Drive) enables the use of a tape storage device that is connected to a SAN or a shared SCSI chain multiple computers. The transfer of the backup data is optimized and Number of single-points-of-failure reduces. Supports backup on the client side: -SmartClientTM With the Smart Client option of NetVault Backup data must not pass through the LAN and the NetVault Server to access the storage device. Smart Client is the ideal solution for multiple clients with large amounts of data or to control backup operations of branches from a distance. The Smart Client secures data locally on a directly attached storage device (virtual tape library, tape drive or tape library), all planning and indexing data is stored on the NetVault Server, which the administration is reduced. LAN Free Backup: By combining Dynamic Shared Drive (DSD) and smart client components, the NetVault Administrator LANfree Backups. Backup data must pass through the LAN is not to be written to locally attached storage devices (via SCSI or SAN). Then the speed is kept free for use by other applications. Disk-to-disk backup- Virtual Disk Library (VDL): By creating a virtual tape library within a disk file system can NetVault Data to its virtual tape storage pool. The Virtual Tape Library can be used as a standalone backup storage device, regardless of whether a real, physical tape drive or tape library exists or not. When creating a virtual disk library, the user can select any number of virtual tape drives and media, as well as free parking spaces to specify the size of each band. Each Virtual Disk Library in a few minutes the "right size" according to the required backup volumes and workload capacity are created. Virtual Tape Library can also be configured for any number of concurrent backups, which compared to the outdated Multiplexing - methods of other solutions is a great advantage. By use of the VDL, it becomes possible to reduce the backup window and backup operations can be started, if no physical tape storage device is present. Backups can be stored online in a Virtual Tape Library and later moved to physical tape or copied (eg, after the rush hour) to store the data outside the company. Lately, many customers choose this method to minimize the SLA recovery time, with the most recent backup is stored on the virtual disk, while older backups to tape for long-term storage for these offline. Shared Virtual Tape Library (SVDL): A Virtual Tape Library on a SAN connected via disk system can be used with the new NetVault option Shared page 3 / 8
Virtual Tape Library used by a variety of different operating systems together. A NetVault Server and multiple NetVault Smart clients can simultaneously access the backup and restore data from a Virtual Tape Library access. Support of different Media: NetVault supports tape libraries, which can contain different types of media and drives. Remote Management: Controllable Network Server feature using the feature Network Controllable NetVault Server, a backup administrator any NetVault Server manage a network remotely. Net - Vault administrators can use the Net - Vault GUI on a PC in your home office or on a laptop, and so provided they have the requisite logon privileges to manage the functions of the NetVault Server remotely. Policy-Based Job Management: Administrators can easily create a backup job template that many arbitrarily with the NetVault Policy Editor to NetVault Client is replicated. A well-designed backup strategy can be developed and with the Policy editor of Net- Vault can be replicated to other clients, small changes are possible, a policy may be adapted to the individual NetVault Client. The policy management of NetVault reduces administrative costs, and the user can do in the time thus gained other tasks. User-level access: New on the market is the option for Net-vault administrators backup and restore duties to other users. delegate A NetVault user can have multiple roles and functions for the management of NetVault be assigned. After entering a login name and password, the NetVault user can only access the NetVault areas for which he or she has obtained the necessary rights. Certain IT staff can e.g. the exclusive privilege granted to schedule backups and restores for multiple computer sales, while blocking access to other departmental servers. Normal users can not obtain the right to perform backups with quantitative restrictions to protect the backup resources for critical systems. Enhanced Reporting: The functionality for the reporting of NetVault provides the ability to create reports in several formats: HTML, Text and comma separated output for use with spreadsheets / databases. NetVault with 29 pre-defined reports to topics such as Backup job completion status, tape data storage allocation, backup power, etc. delivered. Historical reports e.g. record the backup power or tape drive failures in a given period may, the administrator also provide insightful information. Reports can be scheduled to run at a specific time and displayed on the screen or sent via e-mail. The reports of NetVault are fully customizable - from field selection to the field length, field size and arrangement. Event Notification: Predefined and user-defined events can be enabled in order to inform the administrators time when errors occur or processes completed successfully. NetVault can notify the user via pop-up message or e-mail, run a report or a subsequent backup. BakBone Time: NetVault servers and clients can synchronize schedules via "BakBone Time". BakBone Time is useful for IT organizations that need to manage backup jobs for a large number of systems in different time zones. Automated log management: NetVault will automatically delete old log files and thus prevents the logs take up too much disk space. The user can define different log sizes, page numbers or dates. NetVault Database (NVDB): NetVault database is one of the smallest Backupindexierungsdatenbanknen the world. To save disk space, older backup index information can be automatically compressed or even remove without the information to delete the restoration. The user actions can also easily traced via database auditing be to determine errors and illegal access attempts. Job Retry: page 4 / 8
When a backup job will not complete successfully, for some reason, there is the possibility of an option To activate, the NetVault tried the same job on a regular basis again up to 10 times. Backup Consolidation (Incremental consolidation): An incremental backup is merged with an existing full backup and creates a new Volsicherung, can be done with the full and partial restores. With Backup Consolidation, the NetVault - Create administrator only a first full backup of a large department file server or an Exchange database, at which point only incremental backups are required. Then, at the consolidation in an operation on the server from which the data originated affects not, synthetically created a new full backup. The backup consolidation not only reduces the backup window, but also provides the conditions for rapid and complete recovery. Full backups can be as frequent as incremental backups. Backups by firewalls: * System in environments where packet - filtering firewalls are used, can NetVault data transfer to a specific port range limit. The firewall administrators need only a small number of arbitrarily selectable ports ensure open and therefore high security for DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), and other system data, without Noticeable performance degradation. Backup Clustering: * In a clustered environment, NetVault backup each node with a NetVault client basis using the real IP address of the Clusters use. NetVault supports a variety of cluster environments of Microsoft clusters on Linux and UNIX Clusters to Oracle Real Application Clusters. Plug-in modules NetWare Backup: NetVault NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) supports the backup of NetWare Thin Client via NetVault Application Plugin Modules (APM), which is installed on a NetVault Server. Using NLM NetWare server via the LAN Storage devices (Virtual Tape Library or physical tape) are saved, the NetVault Smart with NetVault servers or Clients are connected. By supplementing it with the NetWare Smart Client option NetVault backup data directly to a locally attached tape devices on a NetWare server for LAN-less backup. Online Backup: NetVault supports APM (Application Plugin Modules) and database for online backup of a large number of Messaging applications - including DB2, Informix, Lotus Notes, MS Exchange, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP, Sybase. With NetVault APMs can expand server and clients for the implementation of application-specific backups be. NetVault retrieves interfaces to native APIs backup data from applications and catalogs according to the application type, all via simple "point-and-click" within the GUI of NetVault Disaster Recovery Option: VaultDR is NetVault solution for creating complete and easily manageable disaster recovery images that help to reduce administration costs and require additional hardware superfluous. A CD containing a VaultDR automatically start operating system (VaultOS) and a NetVault client for disaster recovery. All important system information is stored in the backup itself. VaultDR creates complete copies of the system, including the operating system - and application data into a single backup image. VaultDR backup data can be stored in the same storage pool as regular backup data, so it is no longer necessary to use separate backup tapes and CD-R images for disaster recovery. Because the operating system is offline during backup is not only the full restoration of both the operating system and application data is ensured, but it also means that NetVault can perform disaster recovery on any operating system, based on standard (Intel *) VaultOS supported hardware running - x86 including BSD, Linux, NetWare, UnixWare, Solaris and MS Windows. For Windows NT / 2000 NetVault also offers "VaultDR Online" in order to perform online backups can, without requiring the system to be restarted. Open File Backup for Windows & NetWare (OFM): For Windows NT/2000 and NetWare Server NetVault offers an option for backing up data that is used by other processes (ie, the otherwise locked and unavailable for the backup process would be available). Before a backup with OFM begins, the OFM Plugin synchronized NetVault the hard disk write cache and creates a block-level image copy of all open files in the system. In the Windows 2003 environment NetVault supports the Snap - Shot page 5 / 8
functionality of Windows with its own APM. Encryption option: For systems with sensitive data NetVault offers a 128-bit encryption - plugin, encrypts the backup data before they leave the system and the LAN or SAN happen. Each NetVault - client using the encryption plugin uses its own individual key (which is not stored on the NetVault Server), which ensures is that the backups can be restored only on computers with the correct key. Data is encrypted at the data source with the encryption algorithm. The encryption is on its way through the network and to keep the tape drive (target). NDMP Option: NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) has been developed for the efficient transfer of large blocks of data over a LAN or SAN to a storage device. For NAS devices that use NDMP backups are performed with this highperformance secure protocol instead of the less efficient and less safe methods NFS or CIFS. NetVault can send NDMP data directly via a SCSI or SAN attached storage device (tape or virtual tape library) or a storage device elsewhere on the LAN. NetVault provides full support for the NDMP versions 2, 3 and 4 NDMP Plugin: NDMP data can be protected using a variety of methods: [1] directly from the NAS to the computer via SCSI or SAN attached storage, [2] from one NAS to another NAS with direct-attached storage, [3] Data from NetVault servers and clients via LAN to be secured by the NASComputer in direct-attached storage, [4] data from any number of NAS computers can be sent over the LAN to storage devices directly with NetVault servers or smart - connected clients on the network are, and [5] in a NAS / SAN environment Data from both open systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) and NDMP NAS computers the same NDMP storage devices (tapes and tape drives) together. use NDMP Snapshot Manager plugin: For NetApp Filers with OnTap snapshot licensing NetVault offers administrators a graphical interface and functionality for centralized planning. NetVault uses the snapshot schedule of OnTap and expanded The snapshot scheduling. NDMP SnapMirror to Tape Plugin: For NetApp filer using SnapMirror license NetVault offers the opportunity to secure a SnapMirror Snapshot for offline storage and recovery during a disaster directly to tape. SnapMirror images can be restored on another filer systems to support hardware upgrades or other processes during recovery in case of disaster. NDMP SnapVault Manager plugin: Snapshots of NetApp filer systems SnapVault licensing and open systems (Linux / UNIX / Windows, via OSSV licensing) can be monitored with the GUI of NetVault and scheduled. The shift from snapshot data can be easily managed from a centralized location, making the workload for system administration is greatly reduced. page 6 / 8
