The Importance of Disaster Recovery Planning
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning is important to any organization Any unplanned event that is disruptive to the business can prevent employees from getting to what they need A properly defined Business Continuity plan often can keep the business operational It is not just about data center redundancy- it is also about ensuring that employees can keep working from anywhere when the need arises “Companies and employers that have not done so are being urged to establish a business continuity plan should the government direct state and local governments to immediately enforce their community containment plans” Kevin Nixon, How to Prepare for Swine Flu Pandemic (CSO Podcast) 8 CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018 8

Continuous Data Protection
It takes a long time to recover a lost file from a tape If you forgot to back it up If you have lost the tape If you accidentally erased it If it never backed up properly but you didn’t know Or if the magnet in your door speaker wiped it when you took it off site! CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018

Familiar Situations? “I just so happened to check my backup tape and it hadn’t been working for five months. I’ve been hauling those tapes around for nothing…” - Network Administrator, National Fidelity Mortgage “total and complete RAID array failure in their server. Backup has not been run since 10/20/2000. Try to restore from that tape: blank. Next tape. Blank. Next tape. Blank.... and so on”. - Scott Sanford, ST Computer Consulting

Key Drivers Business Drivers Technology Drivers
Mass Digitization: Value, complexity, and volume of native documents growing exponentially Business Continuity: Reliable, and instant, disaster recovery now a requirement Mobile Offices: Remote workers and distributed networks increasing the complexity of managing and administering data protection Regulatory Compliance: HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and other acts increasing the amount and length of time that data must be stored and actively searchable Technology Drivers Tape Performance: Increasingly viewed as unreliable, hard to manage, and vulnerable to physical loss Multiple Vendors: Tech support, versions Disk Cost: Decreasing cost and availability Network Adoption: Driving investment in anti-virus, firewalls, anti-spam, and protection What you’re seeing here are the main drivers of why existing backup systems, primarily tape, are no longer feasible. These trends will drive your CDP business. SMBs need a more reliable, easier to manage, and real-time solution for data protection
12
Losing Critical Business Data (or access to it) is bad because …
It costs time Administrator’s time to recover the data (if even possible) Employee time to recreate the data (if even possible) It costs money, and inefficiency Lost revenue and customers Staff cannot be doing the work they should be doing It can result in Regulatory or Compliance penalties HIPAA, PCI, SOX, … It can ruin small companies One study reports that 50 percent of companies suffering serious data loss will be out of business within 5 years [1] [1] Jon Toiga, Disaster Recovery Planning: Managing Risk and Catastrophe in Information Systems, (Yourdon Press, 1989). CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
13
But how does critical business data get lost or become inaccessible
Natural disaster Fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, etc. Local disaster Facility damaged or unusable for any reason Hardware failure Drive failure Lost or damaged laptop Hardware simply dies of old age (SMB computers are on average 4-5 years old) Human Error causes between 33-40% of all data loss. Source MS Accidental deletion Open a spreadsheet, clear all cells, save the spreadsheet But all of the above have one simple root cause … CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
14
Root Cause for lost data
There was no complete end-to-end solution in place to ensure data could be restored under all circumstances “The truth is you can backup all you want but if you can’t recover it, it’s doesn’t do any good. In the end, backup doesn’t matter, recovery does” Source Gartner CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
15
For Small and Medium Businesses it is especially problematic
Many SMBs are not experienced with computers Conventional tape backup systems are expensive and complicated Many SMBs have to rely on 3rd party providers for maintenance so speed of assistance is an issue SMBs do not typically have Disaster plans “It will never happen to us” “We’re too small for Disaster Recovery Planning” CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
16
Do you know how many …? 80%* SMB Users do NOT have adequate data protection? SMBs only backup data onsite? 64%** SMBs (that have protection) use tape back-up? 90%^ Nightly tape-based backup jobs fail? 5-20%^^ IT Managers couldn’t recover data from their tape backup system? 40%^ * ITAA (Information Technology Association of America) ** Gartner ^ Yankee Group ^^ Infostor CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
17
Tape Back-up is Complicated
Let’s look at tape alone… It is error prone, easily lost or damaged, and incredibly cumbersome. I think this picture does a nice job of telling the story. How many moving parts can you count?
18
Customers are asking for …
Complete end-to-end solution Simple installation with minimal administration Central policy and update management User transparent backups with better granularity than tape backups User-directed restore – no administrator needed Ability to restore from a granular choice of versions Flexible Disaster Recovery capabilities including ability to restore onto different hardware CONFIDENTIAL All Rights Reserved 7/23/2018
19
Onsite and Offsite Back-up are Required
Tape doesn’t solve your offsite requirement either. You have to rely on the last person out of the office to take out and insert tapes. And certainly tapes do no good if they are stored somewhere close to your office. In the event of a disaster like Katrina, tapes will do you no good. A thorough disaster preparedness plan for tape back-up means that your back-up tapes need to be stored reasonably far from your place of business, in a high security location, that is generally resilient from floods, earthquakes, tornados, or natural or man made disasters. With so much of today’s business value locked inside of the data about your customers, employees, and business partners, the consequences for faulty planning can be bankruptcy or worse. Even small, growing companies need a disaster recovery plan and a solid offsite data protection that can withstand today’s all too common disasters.

What is Continuous Data Protection?
The ability to continuously backup ever-changing data Policy Appliance Continuous Backup So, what is Continuous Data Protection? As data changes on workstations and servers CDP is capability of backing up these changes on a continuous basis. As far as CDP is concerned Workstations and servers are really the same. So, to avoid confusion, in CDP terminology we combined both workstations and servers and call them both AGENTS. Agents continuously obtains data from the file system or through the interface of a supported application and sends the data to an appliance for backup. The Appliance will then send the latest revisions to a secure location in the internet called the "Offsite Service". SonicWALL's implementation provides a dedicated appliance where data is backed up to. The use of an appliance guarantees adequate performance levels for this task. The use of an appliance also allows for easier installation as well as the ability to centrally manage and set policy for the entire backup process. Summarizing, CDP is the ability to continuously backup ever-changing data. Now, after we have seen how the backup process operates, in the next few slides we will provide an overview on how data is recovered from scenarios ranging from the loss of a single to a catastrophic situation.

File Backup and Restore Operation
Multiple File Versions are Backed up and Saved on Appliance Offsite Service holds the latest file version football.doc V1 -- NEXT SLIDE --6 Here we will demonstrate how the file backup and restore mechanism works. We will also show how different versions are mantained on the appliance and how the Offsite Service always retains the latest current version. If on the agent we create and save a document on soccer, this causes a write disk notification from the operating system. The agent service will capture the event and backup the file. When a file or a set of files is set over to the appliance for the first time we call it an initial seeding. The appliance will store this new file and tag it as the first revision of its kind. -- NEXT SLIDE --7 If the folder containing this file was also tagged for offsite backup, then this file will also be sent to the Offsite Service for disaster recovery. -- NEXT SLIDE --8 When the same document is edited and saved to disk again, the agent service <<CDP software on the agent>>, based on established performance criteria, may either back up the entire file or may only backup incremental changes. Lets assume that the agent service backs up the entire file again. Then the appliance will retain only the incremental differences with respect of the previous version and, immediately after, it will tag the new version number 2. -- NEXT SLIDE --9 The incremental differences are then sent off to the Offsite Service which will merge with previous version 1 to obtain version 2. -- NEXT SLIDE -- 10 As more document changes are made and saved to disk, the agent will continue updating the appliance. And the appliance will continue creating new revisions as well as sending off the latest changes to the offsite service. -- NEXT SLIDE -- 11 Now, what would happen if the soccer document got suddenly corrupted or portions of the document were mistakenly deleted or changed? With CDP, the user will be able to restore ANY old version of the backed up file DIRECTLY from the appliance. And the user can do this without assistance from a third party person, like someone from the company's IT staff. -- NEXT SLIDE -- 12 In this case, for example, the user may decide to recover version 2 of the document. When recovering, the user has one of two choices. The recovered file may overwrite the existing file or it may be placed in a new location. -- NEXT SLIDE -- 13 If the existing soccer.doc file is overwritten, then this will initiate the backup of a new file version on to the appliance. -- NEXT SLIDE -- 14 Then differences between versions 3 and 4 are sent to the Offsite Service. Please note that the agent may also restore entire folders as well as database files from supported applications. football.doc Appliance Agent Offsite Service

Agent Recovery Agent is destroyed or lost Agent 1 Appliance
Data can be easily recovered off of the appliance Agent 1 Continuous Backup Agent recovery is when an entire agent is destroyed or lost . System failures, hard disk crashes and thievery can all cause the data on the agent to be either lost or hard to recover. CDP guarantees quick recovery from these situations. At any time an administrator can recover the lost data off the appliance. Also, as we will see later, the administrator can map all the data to a new agent to allow the user to recover data directly.

Disaster Recovery Appliance and agents destroyed Agent 1a Agent 1b
Appliance can be replaced and latest data recovered from the offsite Agent 1a Agent 1b Agent 1c Agent 1 Continuous Backup Disaster recovery is when a larger, more catastrophic accident occurs causing both appliances and agents to be lost. Earthquakes, floods or hurricanes are examples of what could cause this to happen. In this case, the data needs to be recovered from the Offsite Service. A second appliance configured appropriately can restore the latest backup data RIGHT before the disaster OCCURED. Thereafter, the new agents can connect to the new appliance and restore the data. Once the appliance is restored and the agents have recovered their data, the system is ready to backup the new agent's both to the appliance and to the offsite.

Main Hardware Components
SonicWALL’s CDP Hardware Components Server Server Client Offsite Service As we have seen CDP consists of three main hardware components: - The Agents, the Appliance and the Offsite Service. Agents and the appliance have a client-server relationship, the same relationship as between the appliance and the offsite service. Agents are the devices being backed up. These include workstations, laptops and servers. Thus far only the Windows operating system is supported. Specifically, Windows 2000 and XP as well as Windows 2000 Server 2000 and Windows 2003 Server. The Agent ID, used by the appliance to distinguish one agent from another, is the “Windows Computer Name”. The Agent function is to back up data onto the appliance. It breaks down files and application data into blocks and performs compression on a needed basis. Compression helps reduce bandwidth utilization over the network. The Appliance holds agent’s configuration and policy. It is a server to the Agent: - It responds to agent’s queries, providing status, policy and configuration. - It also stores, processes and restores data for the agent. The Appliance is also a client to the Offsite Service - It stores and retrieves AES encrypted blocks of data to it. - And t also requests status and authentication queries. The Offsite Services receives both full and differential backups and only keeps the most recent version of each file as well as the last full server backup. Client AES Encrypted Data Appliance Compressed Data Agent Includes: Workstations, laptops and servers
45
Backup Targets CDP Implements two Backup Mechanisms File Based CDP
Agent interfaces with file system Application Based CDP (AB-CDP) Agent interfaces with application There are two types of backup mechanisms. File-based is the main CDP backup mechanism used. When using this mechanism the agent only interfaces with the file system to monitor changes and to backup multiple folders and files. On the other hand, file Based CDP interfaces with the application. SonicWALL CDP currently supports 5 applications. These are Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, Outlook and Outlook Express. Active Directory Microsoft Exchange SQL Server Multiple Folders with Multiple Files Outlook

File Based CDP Targets A folder is the basic target unit
The entire underlying folder tree is monitored and backed up by the agent service The folder is CDP's basic target unit. Therefore in order to back-up a file, any folder in the hierarchy where this is file is contained must be selected for backup. Finally, when selecting a folder, CDP will monitor and backup all folders and files under its hierarchy. Folder Tree
51
Root and Common Folders
Agent Service monitors a collection of targets Two category of folders are specified Root Folders Absolute Addresses Like C:\Ajax\Players Common Folders Specific User Folders Desktop Favorites My Documents Ajax The Agent Service monitors and backs up a collection of target folders. Even though all folders are really the same, for matter of convenience and ease-of-use, we divide these folders ionto two main categories: - Root Folders and Common Folders Root folders have absolute addresses. So, for example, C:\Arsenal\Players is a root folder. On the other hand Common Folders are special folders in the Windows operating system, that are linked to the user on the system. Specifically, these are "Desktop", "Favorites" and "My Documents". In this examples you can see the common folders under the user profile jmcatalaa.
52
Common Folders Enterprise Manager Agent Tool
Sets backup for all users on an agent Agent Tool Can set targets on a per user basis Can only restore data for authorized users When a common folder is selected by the Enterprise Manager, this is applied to all user profiles on the agent computer. So, if the Desktop were selected, the desktop of all the users on the agent are backed up. With the Agent Tool the user can be more specific to exactly which user's common folder to backup. This is because the Agent Tool can view and distinguish among the different users on the system. So, for example, it could select the Favorites folder for a specific user. If a computer user is not authorized to access other user's common folders on the same computer, then, CDP will not allow the user to restore or retrieve common folders from the same user on the appliance.
53
Block Level Processing
File data is always processed in blocks Limits usage of CPU, memory and network resources. Appliance Agent Offsite Service We consider CDP backup to be a secondary application running on the agent where it should only utilize a limited amount of resources. With a light agent service the user will not have to feel the burden of the backup running in the background. In order to achieve this, CDP utilizes block level processing. Both file and application data is divided and processed as blocks. The CPU intensive compression process is now limited to a block, rather than a large file. Block level processing is light and allows for easy incremental backup. File Data Agent Block Processing Appliance Block Processing Offsite Service Block Processing
54
Agent Service and the File System
Agent Service and Windows Captures: Windows Save Notification File Address Region and Offsets where data is written Applications The agent service sits between the Operating System’s file system and the disk to monitor and capture when applications writes data to disk. Once the agent service captures the save notification, it schedules backup for the saved file. The agent service is also able to see where the data is changed on each file, allowing it to perform incremental block-level backups. As we will see some files are excluded from backup, and therefore not scheduled. Operating System File System Bypass Backup for Certain Files for Backup Agent Service Disk
55
High Probability of File “Stability”
Scheduling Backups File backup is delayed To achieve file stability To reduce network utilization Wait time depends on File Size Last Backup Incremental vs. Full Backup So why is file backup scheduled and delayed? CDP delays to achieve something called file stability, which is the reduction of probability of a file write collision. What could happen is that an application may save once again at the same time CDP is backing up the file. A backup delays reduces the probability of such an occurance. Delaying also achieves a more uniform bandwidth utilization, especially during the initial seeding of data to the appliance. Finally, this waiting time depends on different factors. Smaller files and files that have not been recently backed up are scheduled sooner. Also, incremental backups occur sooner. Conversely large files backed up recently will be scheduled later. High Probability of File “Stability” WAIT PERIOD File Backup Process Windows Save Notification
56
Block Level Processing on Agent
Agent Performs 3 Processing Steps Agent When the time is up, the agent service processes files by breaking them into blocks and compressing them. File Data To Appliance Compresses as needed Sends Dismantles into Blocks
57
Block Level Processing on Appliance
Appliance Receives and Stores blocks Sends latest file and database revisions to the Offsite Service Appliance Once received, the appliance performs incremental storage of files and sets revisions. For files set for Offsite Service backup it encrypts them before sending them. From Agent Incrementally Backs-Up Blocks To Offsite Service Stores AES Encrypts

Bare Metal Recovery Create image of entire disks or individual partitions Image includes everything - applications, data, updates, user preferences, patches, etc. Unique Snapshot technology creates image without shutting down system, closing applications or interrupting operations Restore entire image to recover a failed system quickly Create bootable media that includes all necessary drivers Browse image archives / Restore individual files and folders Another product is the Sonicwall Bare Metal Recovery and Local Archiving solution. It is a stand alone software offering that works in concert with the CDP appliances. The software creates an exact image of a machine’s hard drive and stores it as a file. In the event the entire machine crashes, the IT Admin uses a BMR Recovery CD to pull that image file to the new machine. That machine is restored to the same state as when the image was orginally done. That includes the OS, applications, and settings. This is another key component of the Sonicwall offering that helps reduce business downtime for hours and days to minutes and seconds. © 2005 SonicWALL, Inc. All Rights Reserved - Confidential
