9. What is Symantec OST Auto Image Replication?
Symantec OST Auto Image Replication (AIR) is used to replicate backup images between multiple NetBackup domains and/or NetBackup masters, often across various geographical sites, to improve disaster recovery 
Replication is controlled by NetBackup but executed by Sepaton
Leverages Sepaton’s built-in replication capabilities including one-to- one and many-to-one replication
Automatic catalog management at primary and remote sites
Leverages deduplication to replicate only unique data between the Sepaton devices to reduce the impact on the network between the sites
Sepaton has chosen to support OST A.I.R. to support mutli-domain Netbackup environments, typical in Enterprise environments. Opt_Dup, is for single domain environments and will be supported at a later date.

First implementation of Symantec’s next generation replication by an independent vendor. Sepaton becomes the industry leader in the OST market by offering the first certified implementation of A.I.R. by an independent vendor. OST A.I.R. is a licensed and chargeable feature. A.I.R. requires NetBackup Release 7.1 or later. 
Multi-site, multi-domain replication. Unlike Symantec’s first- generation Optimized Duplication feature for OST, A.I.R. supports multiple NetBackup domains. Multiple domains are critical for effective Disaster Recovery because they eliminate dependence on the inter-site communications link for accessing the single catalog in a single domain design. In a single domain system, the customer has to decide whether the active catalog is maintained at the primary or secondary site. If the link between the sites goes down, one site will lose access to the catalog and will have to bring up a new NBU master server and import catalogs from the VTL before any backup or restore operations can begin.
Fully-automated operations. A.I.R. automates the import of catalog updates into the target site, eliminating the need for any operator actions or customer-supplied scripts.
High-Performance replication. OST supports load-balancing over multiple nodes. A.I.R. supports replication over multiple links. OST A.I.R. supports ingest on one or more 10GbE links and replication on one or more 1GbE links. Like DeltaRemote, A.I.R. transmits highly-deduplicated data to optimize the required bandwidth.
Simple GUI-based management. The Sepaton management console provides an OST replication configuration panel where source-target pairs are defined. Once the pairs are configured, the storage administrator controls replication using NetBackup Storage Lifecycle Policies from the NBU console.
Simplified licensing. Unlike DeltaRemote, OST A.I.R. is licensed on both source and target systems. There is no licensing restriction on the fan-in or fan-out for replication.
History Reporting. The OST history report provides information for tracking replication jobs and determining the efficiency of transfers.
 This is all done via a plug in? are there any other software components we have developed I can mention besides DeltaStor gui?

11. What is Symantec OST Optimized Duplication?
Symantec OST Optimized Duplication (Opt Dup) is used to duplicate backup images within a single NetBackup domain from one OST device (e.g. Sepaton PBBA) to another
NetBackup manages the process which is executed by Sepaton
NetBackup receives the file metadata so it can update the catalogs
Leverages deduplication to replicate only unique data between the Sepaton devices to reduce the impact on the network between the sites
Sepaton has chosen to support OST A.I.R. to support mutli-domain Netbackup environments, typical in Enterprise environments. Opt_Dup, is for single domain environments and will be supported at a later date.

13. What is a Optimized Synthetic Backup?
Symantec’s Optimized Synthetic Backup is used to “synthesize” a full backup from a combination of previous full and incremental backups
Eliminates need to perform full backups on client systems*
Client’s CPU and memory resources are used minimally
Reduces network bandwidth and storage requirements
Full data sets are not moved over network
Leverages Sepaton deduplication to minimizes storage used
Lowers risk and improves business RPO
More frequent backups means less potential for data loss
Shorter backups allow multiple backups per day (approaching CDP)
Sepaton has chosen to support OST A.I.R. to support mutli-domain Netbackup environments, typical in Enterprise environments. Opt_Dup, is for single domain environments and will be supported at a later date.

14. Why Use Optimized Synthetic Backups?
Creates a Restore Ready Full Backup
No “FULL+INC+INC+INC” path to recovery
Faster recovery time improves RTO
Backups are smaller and take less time
Improves time to safety (local copy)
Backups can be performed more often
More restore points improves RPO
Less Risk
Simpler administration
Less Time
Less data to move
More Agile
More restore points
Enables faster backups by synthesizing full backups in the Sepaton appliance using incremental backups and the last full backup. NetBackup now offers TSM-like “incremental-forever” backups without the disadvantage of having to restore from the last backup and subsequent incrementals. An OST Optimized Synthetic backup looks like a single full backup to NBU and the backup administrator. This approach greatly simplifies restores and improves the likelihood of successful recoveries.
Shorter backup windows enable multiple backups per day, improved RPOs. Since many full backups are eliminated, it becomes feasible to do more than one backup per day, thus improving the recovery point objective. (Note that the NBU catalog will grow as additional synthetic full backups are performed.)

Load Balanced Media Servers
Today’s traditional synthetic full is created by pulling data through the media server then writing the new full image back to the device.
Optimized Synthetic
Optimized synthetics are created immediately by the backup appliance. NetBackup instructs which parts of previous backups to use. Backup appliance creates a pointer map – no data movement required.
