Solution trade-offs:
Full snapshot-based recovery – single file recovery only on Windows file system backups.
Distinctly separate proxy server required at additional cost – requires additional storage for
copy of snapshots.
Backup application integrations such as Oracle, SQL, Exchange, etc., cannot be used with
VCB.
VLS cannot deduplicate NetBackup VCB with FlashBackup data type yet which is used for
single file restore from a VM image backup.
Other information: After snapshot has been copied to proxy and backed up , it is deleted from
the primary storage array where it was first taken.
Further enhancements possible by providing multi site disaster recovery by using low bandwidth
replication on HP VLS devices.
Larger VMWare Environment with ESX4 and HP Data Protector ZDB IR Integration
with VMWare Consolidated Backup
Company requirements: Large VMWare environment, high throughput required to meet backup
window (Fibre Channel). High SLAs require "Instant Recovery." Requirement for online application
backups using techniques such as HP Zero Downtime backup. Common backup solution required
for VMWare and other SAN host in the company's infrastructure. Room for growth, and more
backup data online (for SLA) dictates need for deduplication.
Solution: HP VLS9000 with deduplication plus HP Data Protector ZDB implementation for SQL,
Exchange and Oracle.
Caveats: Limited to arrays that support DP ZDB IR – XP, EVA and LHN (future).
ISVs: HP Data Protector and Symantec Netbackup only at this time fully tested by HP.
Device configuration highlights: Configure different virtual libraries for SQL, Exchange, Oracle
snapshot backups.
Backup application configuration highlights: Configuring Zero Downtime Backup within Data
Protector and Symantec Netbackup requires some additional scripting work. See the HP EBS SAN
