Data ProtectionKey trends affecting data protection

• Virtualization– Starting, In the Middle, Completed –

Everyone’s doing it...

– Different Animal requires Different Strategies

– HW is on faster refresh cycles b/c of utilization rates

• The Information Explosion– Deduplication is Mainstream

– Data Protection requires “Modernization”

– HW refresh is accelerating

4


Data ProtectionVirtualization: Starting, In the Middle, Completed

• Everybody’s doing it– Project Based

• Decisions made out of backup team in many cases

• Example Deployments– Data Center Economy

– Remote Office Consolidation

– Preparation for the Cloud

– Disaster Recovery Site

5

The Result: VMware consolidation accelerates the information explosion – On VMware

So Deduplication is necessary to protect VMware environments

The VM Snapshot Protection ChallengeBad Things Happen in the Dark

• You can’t:• manage • recover • dedupe• protect

what you can’t see.

Backing Up Blind


Don’t Let Poor Visibility and Silos Slow You Down and Cost you more Time, Resources, and Storage

• Symantec V-Ray• Patented visibility into virtual file

systems and applications• Transparent backup and

recovery across physical and virtual silos

• Symantec’s 3th Generation Granular Recovery Technology (GRT)

V-Ray Visibility for Global Deduplication


What We See -• Complete layout of the file• System represented inside • VMDK/VHD file including:

File boundaries Fragments Block status (Deleted)

What Others See -• One big file• No Q-tree

Intelligence• Deleted Data remains

What We Can Do -• “Single-Pass” Store the VMDK file• “Single-Step” recovery at file level• Fantastic Deduplication• Deduplication Platform for enhancements

What Happens -• No file information• Extra steps to collect file info• Multi-Step processes required

2x storage Or, multi-step file recovery

• Harder to optimize deduplication

Problem: Traditional cycle of full backups requires backup server cycles (I/O) and bandwidth• Traditional Synthetic Backups still move data at the

media server

Solution: Optimized Virtual Synthetics• Leverages appliance CPU power & V-RAY Intelligence• No Data Movement requires less infrastructure• Eliminates “heavy lifting” full backups• Frees Media Servers for other wokload

Incremental backups

V-RAY Optimized Synthetic Protection You can’t Protect everything with a Snapshot

• Changed Block Tracking - AKA Block Level Incremental – Keeps track of blocks that have changed since last backup

– Much more efficient incremental technology

– Snapshot exists for shorter time – less impact

– Makes non-SAN (DAS or NAS) backups viable

– NBU will uniquely restore at either block or file level

• Every CBT backup is a full recovery point in NetBackup– Restore the Entire VMDK from CBT incremental backup

• Not by restoring the vmdk then adding file restores• Not by restoring the vmdk then adding CBT Overlays• V-RAY Synthetic Protection provides a single DR (full) recovery point from CBT backups

– Combines Optimized Synthetic Protection with BLIB Protection

• Individual File Recovery from CBT backups Directly
