4 NetBackup Replication Director
Replication Director is one of three major new features introduced in NetBackup 7.5 and is delivered in a “phase 1” form in this release. It is important to remember what is delivered in this release and what is planned for future releases so that you don’t set false expectations. Replication Director builds on our hugely successful “OpenStorage” model of partnership by providing an API to allow partner array vendors to create integration points between NetBackup their own array management tools, ensuring that each array is managed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. In the 7.5 release Replication Director only supports snapshots of NFS and CIFS presented file systems on NetApp storage arrays managed within a single NetBackup domain. Subsequent releases of NetBackup will provide additional support including: Block level device support (fibre and iSCSI) Application (database) support Hypervisor support (VMware and Hyper-V) Expanded storage array vendor support Cross domain replication/management (A.I.R. type functionality) NetBackup Replication Director is a licensable option within the NetBackup Traditional licensing model and is sold per front-end terabyte. For customers using the NetBackup Platform Capacity licensing model, Replication Director is included in the NetBackup Platform Base – Complete Edition as well as the new NetBackup Platform Base – NDMP Edition. Two FAQs are worth noting here: Q: “Why does the initial release only support NetApp arrays?” A: “NetApp are the largest player in the array market and were keen to invest in a joint venture with us. We believe the fact that NetApp have adopted this technology will encourage other vendors to follow.” Q: “Have other vendors signed up to the Replication Director program? A: “We are in talks with a number of other vendors and announcements will be made in due course.” NetBackup Replication Director Optimized For Source Workloads: Integrating Snapshot And Backup Management What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

5 Integrating Snapshots And Backup With A Single Management Interface
Replication Director reduces the administrative complexity around managing a combination of snapshots and backup by providing a unified NetBackup interface for configuration Configuration of primary storage replication and snapshots is achieved using familiar NetBackup terminology and management paradigms and policies. SLPs control the whole process from initial snapshot creation through to long term backup storage including performing backups from snapshots. Snapshot content is catalog in NetBackup and search and restore can be performed across both snapshots and backups. During a typical sequence of operation: NetBackup quiesces entire stack and verifies consistent state of application A NetBackup policy initiates snapshot, replication of snapshot, and copy of replica to tape for archiving NetBackup is “aware” of all copies of the data and applies different retention dates to each copy Replication director reduces administrative overhead, reduces or eliminates the need for vendor-specific tools and knowledge and offers significant benefits in performance over conventional NDMP backup models.

6 Replication Director: Integration Through OpenStorage
NetBackup Master Server 8. Mount Snapshot 9. Duplicate Snapshot 1. Quiesce The following steps illustrate Replication Director manages the creation of snapshots and their replication to a secondary site where the snapshot can be exported to tape or disk storage as a backup image. Note that in NetBackup 7.5 the two sites are part of the same NetBackup domain, in future releases Replication Director will have “auto image replication” capability to allow snapshots to be managed across domains. <click> First, if necessary, NetBackup quiesces the application. (Note, only file system snapshots are supported in NetBackup 7.5, application support will be introduced in future releases.) Then a snapshot is created. The snapshot is replicated to secondary storage Then the snapshot is replicated again to the secondary site This snapshot is mounted on a media server And duplicated to create a backup image for long term storage on tape or disk.

7 Replication Director: 1 + 1 = One
Snapshot value add Better RPO/RTO and operational recovery Less impact on production applications Efficient data storage and movement NetBackup value add Centralized data protection management Automated movement across storage tiers Off-host indexing for recovery and discovery Tape support for long term retention Searchable, granular recovery The key message of Replication Director is simplicity of integration and how a single point of administration/control reduces the headache of managing a mix of snapshots and backups. Replication Director unifies backup and snapshot technologies <click> Snapshots capture data at points in time quickly and efficiently, minimizing the impact on applications and storing data efficiently for rapid recover in the sort term. Integration with NetBackup simplifies management, improves search and restore capabilities and allows captured data to enter a lifecycle of storage for long term backup retention as well as short term protection. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

8 NetBackup Accelerator
NetBackup Accelerator is another new feature that is being introduced in phases. NetBackup Accelerator’s primary “value add” is that it can dramatically reduce the time required to run full backups. It does this by building on the synthetic backup model we first introduced around 8 years ago in which a full backup is “synthesized “ from earlier full backups and incremental backups. A NetBackup Accelerator full backup behaves like an incremental backup, capturing changes to the data since the last backup, but then synthesizes a full backup image on the backup server. In the 7.5 release NetBackup Accelerator supports file system backups from Windows (NTFS) and Posix complaint UNIX/Linux file systems. On Windows environments it can utilize the NTFS Change Journaling feature to speed up the process of discovering changed files. NetBackup Accelerator is licensed using the new NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option which is available free of charge to existing users of the NetBackup Deduplication Option or as an upgrade for users of the Enterprise Disk Option and Platform Base License. NetBackup Accelerator Optimized For Source Workloads: Reducing The Time And Resources Required To Backup What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

9 Traditional Backup 1 2 2 3 3 4 1 4 IO cost: High CPU cost: Moderate
Read all CPU cost: Moderate Usually low, but the duration is long Network cost: High Send all data Storage cost: High Store all data / including duplicates Client Backup Server 2 Application 2 3 Backup server Backup agent 3 The traditional model of full and incremental backups impose high costs on most infrastructure components from the I/O system on the client to the storage on the server. <click> Using synthetic backup can reduce the I/O and network traffic during backup but increases the CPU and I/O overhead on the media server. 4 1 4 File System Synthesis Engine What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

10 Server Deduplicating Backup
1 IO cost: High Read all CPU cost: Moderate Usually low, but the duration is long Network cost: High Send all data Storage cost: Lower Unique data only Client Backup Server 2 Application 2 3 Engine Dedupe Backup server Backup agent 3 Using deduplicating storage on the backup server reduces the storage costs but does not affect the other overheads significantly. <click> Again using optimized synthetic backup can go some way to reducing the I/O and network traffic during backup but at the cost of increased CPU overhead on the backup server. 4 1 4 File System Synthesis Engine What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

11 Client Side Deduplicating Backup
1 IO cost: High Read all CPU cost: High Compute signature Network cost: Low Unique data only Storage cost: Lower Client Backup Server 2 Application 2 3 Engine Dedupe Backup server Backup agent Dedup 3 4 Client side deduplication reduces the network and storage overheads but increases the peak CPU loading on the client. 1 4 File System What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

12 NetBackup Accelerator
1 IO cost: Low Only changed data CPU cost: Low Less signatures Network cost: Low Unique data only Storage cost: Low Client Backup Server 2 Application 2 3 Synthesis Engine Backup server Accelerator agent 3 4 NetBackup Accelerator uses a combination of file tracking and backup synthesis to reduce I/O at all levels without impacting CPU loading. The accelerator agent ensures that, after the initial full backup, only changed data is ever sent from the client to the backup server. Combining this with client side deduplication can reduce the network traffic even further as only changed segments of changed files need to be transmitted. Unlike existing synthetic backup operations where the synthesis occurs independently from the backup, Accelerator full backups are automatically synthesized on the backup server at the time backup runs. In NetBackup 7.5 Accelerator supports file systems backup on Windows (NTFS) and Posix complaint UNIX/Linux file systems. It can take advantage of the Windows Change Journaling feature in NTFS to further accelerate the discovery process. 1 4 File System Change Tracking What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

13 New OpsCenter Features
OpsCenter, a free monitoring and reporting tool, and OpsCenter Analytics, its chargeable extended option, were introduced in NetBackup 7.0. NetBackup 7.5 introduces three new features for OpsCenter, Search, Restore and view based access controls. View based access control is simply a mechanism to control what clients and policies individual users can report on and restore from, however it is a significant step in terms of “multi-tenancy” support as it allows responsibility for selected clients to be delegated to individuals or groups. The restore feature extended the “Oracle cloning” feature introduced in NetBackup 7.1 and provides a much simpler, easier to use restore interface than the current BAR GUI . NetBackup Search – the third major new feature in NetBackup 7.5 – is a separate, linked application with it’s own server component. Like OpsCenter Analytics, NetBackup Search is a chargeable option (although the two components are licenses separately from each other). It is also important to note that the NetBackup Search server uses embedded technology that is only supported on Windows 2008R2 . New OpsCenter Features Simplified Operating Model: Netbackup Search, Operational Restore and View Based Access Controls What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

14 OpsCenter Makes Backup Better
Monitor Report Alert For large organizations or enterprises with multiple locations and data centers, managing backup and recovery can be a challenge, especially if the goal is to improve efficiency and use of resources. NetBackup OpsCenter, introduced in NetBackup 7.0, offers out of the box reporting, alerts, and monitoring screens designed to streamline the operations of data protection. New in NetBackup 7.5 are two features; Restore and Search and Hold. These features transform OpsCenter from a reporting, monitoring, and alerting tool into a product that can be used for administration purposes. NetBackup Search is an e-discovery tool which allows backup administrators to easily complete requests from the Legal department to find information stored on backup tapes in the event of litigation. The current process is very expensive and manual in nature. NetBackup Search UI is integrated into OpsCenter with means customer can quickly and easily search across their entire NetBackup environment. Now that we’ve covered the legal use case, let’s take a look at operational restores. In today’s IT environment, companies are continually looking for way to reduce complexity and operational expenses. Operational Restore using OpsCenter is a great new feature that significantly reduces the time and complexity involved with restoring an accidentally deleted file or folder. Operational restore can find delete files/folder in virtual images as well as snapshots. Now, enable your front-line ticketing engineers to perform restore which will significantly reduce the load on the backup department. Search and Hold New! New! Restore What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

15 NetBackup Search Overview
Powerful legal search and hold tool designed to find and manage relevant files in your backup environment Federated searches across domains increases searching performance Create search queries based on custodians, user groups, date ranges, file locations, and file types Save, edit, and export search queries for legal traceability Robust image level holds management tools ensures data is preserved which helps to avoid legal sanctions Hold reports in OpsCenter provide insight into size and duration of legal holds for visibility and chargeback NetBackup Search provides a mechanism to index the file system metadata that is associated with backup images. That makes searching for relevant information simple, powerful, and fast. Once information is found, the user can take actions based on that information. NetBackup Search provides a robust legal hold mechanism which ensures that images relevant to a legal case are not inadvertently deleted or allowed to expire based on retention levels. Furthermore, new reports in OpsCenter help the backup department communicate the impacts of legal holds on the environment and could be used for chargeback Remember that the NetBackup Search server can only run on Windows 2008R2 – however it does not need to run on the same machine as the OpsCenter server or the NetBackup master server. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

16 NetBackup Search and Symantec Enterprise Vault™
Discovery Solution Symantec Enterprise Vault™ Discovery Accelerator Backup is for recovery. Archive is for discovery. The story has not changed. However, we have found that there are many companied with mountains of backup tapes. In these environments, it is nearly impossible to discovery what information is stored on these tapes. NetBackup Search provides a mechanism to search the meta-data of information stored in the backup environment. Once found, NetBackup Search provides tools to transfer this information into a true e-discovery repository where full content indexing and culling of data can be performed. NetBackup Search helps customers align backup and archive. Enterprise Vault Import into Archive Meta Data Search NetBackup OpsCenter Full content indexing Data classification What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

17 The Problem with File Level Restore Today
Restore requests must go through backup department or highly trained staff Restoring files is a resource intensive task How do you find the file? Gather as much information from the user as possible Log into admin GUI Browse NetBackup catalog Repeat step 3 The emphasis now switches from Search to restore. Restore today is a job for the experts. Full server recovery is pretty straight forward but what if you’re just looking for a single file. <click> This iterative process is time consuming and inefficient. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

18 File Restore Using OpsCenter Operational Restore
Quickly find files across multiple clients and multiple domains Built into NetBackup no additional infrastructure or license key required Ability to restore from multiple sources and to alternate locations without leaving OpsCenter Disaster Recovery Drills Restore from Snapshots Restore cart allows user to batch up restore job for future processing OpsCenter 7.5 offers a restore user interface that is available to operators in a Web browser. Not only can you browse the NetBackup catalog as you have in the past, you can now search across multiple client and multiple NetBackup domains. That enables you to search and find the files or directories, even with limited information and service the restore request as quickly as possible. All of that is accomplished without any additional NetBackup infrastructure. Search results appear within seconds and you can refine or cancel them as needed to find the files fast. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

19 File Restore Using OpsCenter Operational Restore
Restore also offers the customer the ability to choose alternate copies of the file if needed. For example, the customer can choose to restore the file from a snapshot or from a DR bunker depending on their needs. This is accomplished via a easy to understand user interface designed with the backup administrator in mind. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

20 OpsCenter View Based Access Control
Views group objects, for example clients, in OpsCenter. Users can be granted roles related to the objects in a view. Example: Steve is a restore operator. We want only him to be able restores to selected clients. Solution: Create the view “LDN-Servers” grouping the servers Create a user ID for Steve with the role of restore operator Grant Steve access to the “LDN-Servers” View New in OpsCenter 7.5 is the ability to combined roles and views. A user role is designed to allow user a certain level of control. For example, we may only want a user or group of users to view reports. We would assign these users the role of reporter. If we want to allow the user to restore, we grant them the restore operator. Views in OpsCenter are designed to shrink the window of what a user can see. For example, we could create a “view” of all windows servers in the US. In OpsCenter today, all users are granted the global view meaning they can see EVERYTHING In 7.5, we are combining these feature, and we call it view based access control. Now we can assign a user a role and also only allow them the see certain clients applicable to their needs. <Click> For example, we may only grant Steve the view of windows file systems in the US as he doesn’t need to see the data in the EU or ASIA. To do this we first create a “view” that includes the servers we want Steve to have access to. Then we create a user identifier for Steve, giving him the role of “restore operator” <click> Finally we associate the user identifier with the view. Steve can now see the servers in the LDN-Servers view and perform restores on them. He cannot see any other servers in the domain or perform any operations on them.

21 New Cloud Based Data Protection Features
Freedom of Storage Choice What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

22 NetBackup Cloud Enhancements
New public cloud providers AES-256 Encryption at the Media server Clients NetBackup 7.1 introduced the Nirvanix Cloud plug-in <click> NetBackup 7.5 introduces support for three more cloud vendors, Amazon S3, AT&T Synaptic Storage and Rackspace Cloud Files NetBackup 7.5 introduces support for 256 bit AES encryption at the media server – ensuring customers’ data is encrypted as it heads for the cloud NetBackup 7.5 includes a cloud configuration wizard that also integrates configuration of the KMS server if customer selects encryption option. This greatly simplifies the setup of cloud integration. NetBackup 7.5 provides bandwidth throttling to limit data transfer during peak times NetBackup 7.5 provides reporting and chargeback via OpsCenter NetBackup Accelerator is supported with the Cloud plug-ins. Cloud Configuration Wizard Bandwidth throttling OpsCenter usage and chargeback reporting Support for NetBackup Accelerator Media server or 52xx appliance What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

23 Virtual Machine Protection Enhancements
Optimized for Source Workloads What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

24 VMware® Policy New VMware policy type – not FlashBackup-Windows
New VMware tab All VMware settings consolidated on new tab In NetBackup 7.5 there is a new policy type for VMware and it is no longer necessary to use the policy type of FlashBackup-Windows. However, for existing installations, the old policy type remains valid and there is no automated conversion of existing policies. Customers can manually convert their policies to the new type in their own time. The new policy type includes a tab... <click> ...that has VMware specific settings on it What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

25 Hyper-V® Policy New Hyper-V policy type – not FlashBackup-Windows
New Hyper-V tab All Hyper-V settings consolidated on new tab The same is true for Hyper-V policies. Again there is a new policy tab... <click> ...that has Hyper-V specific settings on it What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

26 Media Server Load-Balancing For VMware Policies
ESX/i Hosts Backup Hosts - Windows® Media Servers Shared Backup Storage VM backups jobs automatically select the least busy media server. This provides: Improved backup performance High availability Supports any/all backup destinations There are 2 significant advantages to leveraging media server load-balancing: The VM backup job will always run on the least-busy media server, which ultimately provides optimum backup performance Until now, all scheduled VM backups would fail if the backup host was unavailable. Now, when using load-balancing, other media servers are available in the event of a downed media server. So both performance and availability are improved for VM backups! MSDP Tape Off Host Dedupe OST Devices Shared Storage Pools What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

27 New vCenter Fields For VM Intelligent Policy
New query builder variables, including: Datastore Cluster: part of Storage Dynamic Resource Scheduling (SDRS) Custom VM Attributes: user-defined vCenter variables The VM Intelligent Policy continues to grow by offering new vSphere 5 and vCenter 5 variables to use in queries. Three noteworthy additions have been made: vSphere 5 introduces a new storage concept called “Datastore Cluster”, which is fully supported. This is simply a collection of Datastores that acts as a single Datastore. We’ve also added several new Datastore attributes. Lastly, we’ve added the ability to include vCenter “custom attributes” into a query. The last capability is very powerful! Users can add any new variable, or custom attribute, to vCenter. NetBackup will show these attributes enclosed in square brackets, in this format: [user_custom_attribute]. For example, users could add a custom attribute called NBU_DISABLE_BACKUP with a true/false value. As shown in the screenshot, that value can be tested in the query. So in this example, VMware administrators can manipulate the NBU_DISABLE_BACKUP attribute on a VM to control whether (or not) it will be included in the next scheduled backup. That is just one example of the possibilities of leveraging vCenter custom attributes in the VM Intelligent Policy. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

28 New VM Disk Exclusion Exclude boot disk Exclude data disks
When VM is provisioned from template (e.g. WS2008 R2 template) Exclude data disks When data is protected via agent in-the-guest (e.g. Oracle®) Supported for Windows®, Redhat®, SuSE® VMs Customers have frequently asked for the ability to exclude VMDKs from VM backups. There are 2 common scenarios: They do not want to backup the OS, aka boot disk. In this case, they plan to use VM templates to recover the OS and file or application-recovery to recover the data. They do not want to backup the data disks. In this case, they data is protected using another policy-type, e.g. Oracle. They only need to recover the VM, and Oracle backups will be used for data recovery. Again, the VM Intelligent Policy come to the rescue by allowing users to optimize backups per their specific needs. By default, all VMDKs or virtual disks are included in a VM backup. But there is now an advanced setting to Exclude the boot disk, or Exclude the data disks. This feature is available on any VM which supports file-level recovery: Windows, Redhat, and SuSE. (Note: there are some implications when using this advanced setting with Application backups. Please consult the administration guide before using this feature with VM application backup.) What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

29 Backup Status Reported In vCenter Event Log
NetBackup option to log events into vCenter Backup Success Backup Failed Snapshot Delete Failed Another common request has been to report backup status within the vCenter console, also known as the vSphere client GUI. Now, you can have NetBackup report backup status directly into the vCenter console. There are 3 events that can be reported: Successful Backup Failed Backup Could not delete the VM snapshot after the backup The last condition is important to the VM administrator, because the accumulation of VM snapshots can result in a VM performance penalty. With this visibility in the vCenter event log, VM admins now can react immediately and delete these snapshots directly. Otherwise, NetBackup will attempt to delete them later when the next backup is performed. To manage volume, users can also choose to only report errors, and do not report successful backups. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

30 Example: Backup Failed Event In vCenter Console
Here is a screenshot of a “backup failure” event as shown in the vCenter event log. It contains all of the necessary information for a VM administrator to forward to a NetBackup administrator, so they can quickly and easily investigate the failure. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

31 vSphere 5 Support – Datastore Clusters
VM policy can backup VMs by Datastore Cluster location VM Recovery Wizard Can restore VM to Datastore Cluster Datastore Cluster Datastore Another notable enhancement is the support of vSphere 5 “Datastore Clusters”. Simply put, a datastore cluster is a new vSphere 5 storage container for grouping datastores. Generally speaking, a datastore cluster in simply one, large datastore comprised of smaller individual datastore. Consequently, NetBackup policies can now protect VMs that reside on a datastore cluster. And the VM recovery wizard now accepts a datastore cluster as a recovery destination. Here you can see a NetBackup browser for selecting a recovery destination of either a datastore cluster, or an individual datastore. When restoring into a cluster, vSphere 5 automatically determines which datastore will be the actual destination, based upon vSphere storage policy criteria. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

32 Other Notable Improvements
File-level recovery for Redhat/SuSE EXT4 filesystems Swap and Paging system files optionally excluded from backups Hyper-V New Hyper-V policy-type EXT4 support for Hyper-V VMs too Windows/RedHat/SuSE file-level recovery supported on Hyper-V Finally, there are some additional optimizations: The Linux EXT4 filesystem is now supported for file-level recovery We’ve added optimizations for excluding swap files and paging files, which are typically large and cannot be recovered. And let’s not forget Hyper-V! There is a new Hyper-V policy and all of the file-level recovery for Windows and Linux is also supported on Hyper-V too. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

33 VMware Application Protection and Recovery
Optimized for Source Workloads What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

34 Application Protection In VMs
Easy checkbox setup Automatic application discovery via VM intelligent policy Application-consistent VM backup Optional database transaction log truncation Any-level Recovery: VM, Files, Databases, Items Previous versions of NetBackup offered sophisticated VMware virtual machine protection as well as advanced database protection with Symantec’s patent-pending Granular Recovery Technology (GRT). However, they were not integrated… database backups, with or without GRT, did not work with VMware VADP backups and required a separate backup pass, treating the virtual machine as if it were a physical machine. NetBackup 7.5 does away with this limitation, saving time, disk space, and money by integrating these two technologies for VMware virtual machines. Now it’s possible to perform a high-speed VMware VADP backup of a database server while retaining all the features of NetBackup’s advanced database agents, including item-level granular recovery. All of this is done in one fast backup pass – no more redundant copies of the same data. You can recover data at any level – full virtual machines, individual files, entire databases, or specific objects and items within a database. These recovery options work in exactly the same way as they always have in NetBackup, so there’s no need to retrain operators and database administrators. Setting up a VMware backup policy is easy – simple checkboxes allow you to select the types of databases that you’re protecting, optionally truncating database logs during the backup process. Virtual machines are automatically selected for backup using a VMware intelligent policy (VIP). What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

35 Application Protection - Details
Supported VMs: Windows Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server NetBackup Windows Client in VM provides Application-consistent VM snapshot Application granular recovery NetBackup for VMware provides VM backup Types of recovery from VM backup Available for VMware (Hyper-V support planned) NetBackup’s new VMware application protection features work with Microsoft Exchange, SQL and SharePoint databases. The NetBackup client application must be installed in each virtual machine; the NetBackup client does not perform the backup itself, but it’s needed to assist with application consistency and granular recovery. An entire VMware-based database server can be restored in one operation for one-step disaster recovery, as well as individual files in the VM. Database-level recovery options are similar to those available for physical machines – entire databases can be recovered in a single operation, and single objects and items in Exchange and SharePoint databases can be restored quickly and easily. Note that the database recovery options require the backup image to reside on disk, rather than tape or virtual tape libraries. These features are currently not supported for Hyper-V virtual machines, but we expect to offer this capability in future NetBackup versions.

38 Core NetBackup Enhancements
Simplified Operating Model What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

39 NetBackup Improved WAN Resiliency
NetBackup Clients at remote office Client-side deduplication enabled NetBackup Clients Regular Media Server or 52xx Appliance One of the most problematic areas when dealing with remote offices involves the networks connections between the central office and the remote offices. In previous releases, if the network connection drops during a NetBackup operation, the operation will fail. To complete the operation, an administrator needs to restart the operation. In NetBackup 7.5, if the network connection drops during a NetBackup operation, the operation will continue. NetBackup will recover the dropped connection without the need for administrator assistance. This feature can be used with both client deduplication and regular backup types and works with all backup types and storage devices.

41 Auto Image Replication Support For BMR
Auto Image Replication Design NetBackup BMR Master Domain A NetBackup BMR Master Domain B BMR Database BMR Boot Server BMR Database NetBackup Clients Import image Site Recovery using BMR BMR config backup BMR Config Import Backup Auto Image Replication is a complex and unique feature which requires some detailed explaining. The purpose of this slide is to provide a high level over view of the feature and emphasize the new support for BMR. Do not let yourself get bogged down in the details of A.I.R. during this presentation – set up a separate session to cover it if necessary. Auto Image Replication is a mechanism for automatically replicating copies of mission critical backups between different NetBackup domains and greatly simplifies and speeds up recovery in the event of site loss. It also provides a mechanism for sending copies of backups to a “bunker” location for long term storage. Auto Image Replication was originally introduced in NetBackup 7.1 and works with Symantec’s deduplication solutions (MSDP, PDDO and the 52xx and 50xx appliances) as well as OpenStorage devices that have plug-ins with the Auto Image Replication feature enabled. In the 7.5 release Auto Image Replication can be used to replicate Bare Metal Restore information along with backups, simplifying and speeding up server recovery at the DR site. Auto Image Replication uses Storage Lifecycle policies and the process works as follows: <click> First a backup is written under SLP control in the source domain and a copy of that backup is written to storage that supports Auto Image replication The SLP sends a copy of the backup to a suitable storage device in the source domain. Note the small red square next to the blue image. This red square denotes the catalog and BMR information which is sent along with the copy of the backup image. The copied image is automatically detected in the target domain and the catalog and BMR information is imported into the databases on the target domain’s master server using a second SLP that has the same name as the SLP in the source domain. Once imported this copy of the backup can be copied to other storage devices for long term storage. And the backup can also be restored to a server in the target domain.

42 Other Core Enhancements
AdvancedDisk encryption support Uses the same 256 bit AES encryption as the cloud plug-in Catalog enhancements Image meta-data consolidated into the relational database Improves performance and catalog integrity Liveupdate from policy/file Liveupdate can work with a list of supplied client names or obtain clients names directly from backup policies Removes the need to specify individual client names Telemetry Runs at install/upgrade time and anonymously collects key metrics about what is installed on what servers and sends it to Symantec support. Also reports on installation problems to help us identify issues Some other new features and enhancements to the core of NetBackup in the 7.5 release are: <click> Encryption of data on AdvancedDisk storage – this uses the same encryption engine as the cloud plug-in but cannot be configured through the storage server wizard in this release. Catalog image meta-data has been consolidated in the catalog relational database. This change is transparent to users but should provide benefits in terms of improved catalog backup speeds and reduced catalog cleanup times. Liveupdate can now use a text file list of clients and extract the client list from a backup policy. This saves manually specifying the clients. We also have an option that allows customers to send us information about their installations when they upgrade. Just simple stuff like the spec of the machine you’re installing on. It’s sent to us anonymously and we hope it will help us improve the product by improving our understanding of customer environments. What’s New In Symantec Netbackup™ 7.5?

Below is the reply we included in the recent Gartner MQ response for our Big Data strategy, as per this positioning, part of our stance is Big Data protection has to be part of your overall protection strategy and not a point solution i.e. You need a platform! Also, we should show that may Big Data vendors are coming to us to make sure they are part of our platform – without our support they cannot get traction with the large customers – see second paragraph below for examples. Let me know what else you need? The majority of Big Data use cases we have seen so far involve the combination of a DBMS for storing structured data and Hadoop for storing accompanying non structured data. We have a long history of supporting backup of a variety of databases. For Oracle, SAP, IBM and Microsoft databases we extend support very soon after a new database platform is introduced. SAP HANA, Sybase IQ and Oracle Exadata fall in these categories. The remainder of the platforms are supported through Symantec’s Technology Enablement Program (STEP) where vendors produce an agent for their databases that work with the NetBackup platform. Teradata, Aster, Netteza, and Greenplum fall under this program, and are all supported by NetBackup. As vendors have started to introduce database based appliances we have embraced their new technology. Very often these vendors have approached us to work with them and offer backup of their solutions because of demand from customers and prospects who want to ensure the backup of these solutions is integrated with NetBackup. One of these examples is Exadata. Driven by customer demand, we established engineering-to-engineering relationships as soon as Oracle Sun Exadata was announced. By working together we have been able to qualify and support it immediately after the initial release and have helped remove a potential barrier to the adoption of Exadata in large enterprises. We have a number of large customers, across all regions,protecting Exadata with NetBackup. These include JPMC, UBS, ATT, Wolters Kluwer, Bank of America, and Hartford. Teradata is another example of long standing partnership. For data stored in the Hadoop we work with customers individually to understand the nature of the protection required and to help them architect the most appropriate solution based on the NetBackup platform. Our recommendations will vary depending on how heavily big data problems weigh on the axes of volume, velocity and variability. If data is heavily redundant we recommend client side deduplication combined with snapshots for data consistency. Examples include history based archiving, Hadoop used as a dumping ground, and documents attached to the DBMS. Since the Hadoop file system is based on additions rather than updates/deletion of data, large storage savings are accomplished when applying deduplication. Since NetBackup is hardware agnostic there is no need for expensive deduplication capable storage, realizing additional savings. For smaller clusters with large volume of unique data, and where data cannot be streamed in a predicted block format, continuous data protection through RealTime is a good choice. Examples of such workload include Hive and HBase. For most other use cases NetBackup Accelerator combined with the snapshot technology is a good method for achieving fast backup. The benefit is in getting full backup at the cost of incremental. Archiving into Hadoop as an inexpensive, easilyaccessed storage is gaining in popularity. We support this capability today for structured and unstructured data. NetBackup can easily be configured to useHadoop as a target for the initial backup or as a backup archive through the storage lifecycle management. We also provide database archiving into Hadoop through the reselling of the Informatica Data Archive product that has capability to archive application data into Hadoop. For the Hadoop and large clustered file systems we are working on several new approaches. Our strategy is three fold.                         I.         In the future, provide a NetBackup Hadoop Agent to provide protection for data stored within Hadoop.  We are also discussing synergy between NetBackup and Hortonworks backup feature, to be released later this year. Integrating the two will enable an enterprise backup solution for Hadoop in the near future and will bring business continuity quality to Hadoop.                       II.         Using Hadoop as a storage for backups and archives of structured and unstructured data. The NetBackup appliances and Enterprise Vault will be part of this future solution.                     III.         Partnerships with Cloudera and Hortonworks. Partners are starting to focus on business continuity aspects of Hadoop, and adding backup functionalities to their solutions. We are discussing how we integrate these capabilities with NetBackup.

Often this involves new features and functionality offered on the NetBackup platform, and the platform itself must be robust enough to support the complexity and the new features added. To do this we need to continuously drive improvements in product performance and usability. In 7.1, these improvements are focused on installation improvements and supportability improvements. Making the product easier to deploy and maintain. As a result, our customers will experience easier deployment and upgrade scenarios resulting in lower operational expenses. Additionally the improvements in troubleshooting of failed backups and restores will also drive a lower OpEx.
