Large Enterprise Cross-Site Backup With Deduplication And Inbuilt Disaster Recovery; Using Vls In Enterprise Cross Site Backup Scenarios - HP StorageWorks 12000 - Virtual Library System EVA Gateway Manual

• Data Protector Integration with VMware VCB provides the first layer of protection
• Provides snapshots that can be used for restoring VM
• Needed only when VM configuration changes
2. Application backup
• Provides the second layer that enables protection of application data
• Can be performed using ZDB/IR feature of Data Protector by using HP Business Copy for
EVA, XP (LHN to follow)
Further enhancements possible by providing multi-site disaster recovery by using low bandwidth
replication on HP VLS devices.

Large Enterprise Cross-site Backup with Deduplication and Inbuilt Disaster Recovery

Company requirements: Fully redundant system with automated offsite backup over extended SAN –
getting data offsite immediately is the requirement. Manage data growth, keep more data online,
regular archiving to tape using object copy.
Solution: VLS9000 with deduplication over extended SAN. ESL library for high volume archiving.
Caveats: CWDM bandwidth is the critical performance factor in this solution typically using HP
Multi-Protocol Routers.
ISVs: HP Data Protector, Symantec Netbackup and TSM (deduplication support) only at this time.
Device configuration highlights: Normal VLS deduplication requirements – small cartridges, strict
backup policy naming.
Backup application configuration highlights: RMAN stream naming scripting required for best Oracle
deduplication performance.
