Challenges for today's Data Protection • Data growth
– Typically represents a factor of 4 to 30 times production capacity
– Daily, weekly, and monthly full backups kept for months or years
– New requirements to keep more data for longer periods
• Server virtualization – Dynamic environment causes increased
complexity
– VM sprawl creates protection challenges
– Server consolidation creates high server utilization leaving little bandwidth for backup

Avamar: How it Works Simple example of global, sub-file deduplication
Remote Site 2
Third WIN 2K8 VM Data Center
Only unique data segments are backed up
First WIN 2K8 VM
New data segments identified and backed up
Remote Site 1
Second WIN 2K8 VM
Data already backed up, so only unique IDs stored (20 byte pointers)
Deduplication server (stored backup data)
SharePoint
Data already backed up, so only unique IDs stored (20 byte pointers)
