The Veritas NetBackup Platform—Next-Generation Data Protection

Page 1 of 4

Overview

Veritas NetBackup provides a comprehensive selection of

innovative options to aid in customizing your backup and

recovery environment with tape, disk, or a combination of

both. Environments can be customized to better utilize disk

capacity, leverage specific architectures such as storage

area networks (SAN) or network-attached storage (NAS),

enable better disaster recovery practices, or add a new level

of data security for tapes being taken offsite.

Innovative options unlock the power of disk

Veritas NetBackup delivers the ultimate in choice when it

comes to unlocking the power of disk-based data protection.

Whether you want to share disk in a SAN, leverage dedupli-

cation, or add protection for desktop or laptop systems to

an overall protection plan for your environment, Veritas

NetBackup can make it all happen from one management

console. There are three new Enterprise Disk Options to

help unlock the potential of disk in your backup and recovery

environment. They are the Flexible Disk Option, OpenStorage

Disk Option and the PureDisk™ Deduplication Option.

Flexible Disk Option (new)—This option enables you to

use commodity attached disk (direct-attached storage

[DAS], SAN, NAS) for open, shared, high-speed backup

and recovery. For additional performance, you can share

disk in a SAN for the ultimate disk-based backup solution

(utilizing the new Veritas NetBackup SAN client). Some key

benefits include:

• Reduced disk cost. All the features of backup appliances

leveraging commodity disk and servers are built into

Veritas NetBackup.

• Faster backups and restores. Avoid slow LAN backups

and restores and take advantage of high-speed backup

to disk over the SAN.

• Better disk utilization. Disk is shared between multiple

media servers, allowing for higher utilization.

OpenStorage Disk Option (new)—Back up your data to

intelligent disk appliances with a Veritas NetBackup API.

Veritas NetBackup manages the backup through these

devices and also takes advantage of the unique capabilities

of each device, such as deduplication and replication. A

variety of Symantec Technology Enabled Program (STEP)

partners are participating and will be bringing unique

solutions to the market. Some key benefits include:

• Fully leveraged intelligent disk appliances. Take

advantage of high-speed backup and recovery over a

Fibre Channel or IP connection, along with disk sharing,

virtualization, and deduplication technologies.

• Enhanced disaster recovery. Fully leverage advanced

features such as backup image replication between

multiple data centers, eliminating the need to ship,

encrypt, or store tapes.

• Integrated solutions. Natively integrate intelligent disk

appliances with Veritas NetBackup to deliver a seamless

solution with additional functionality.

PureDisk Deduplication Option (new)—Enable data

deduplication across Veritas NetBackup clients and backup

only the unique data to commodity disk. The result is elimi-

nation of redundant data and ultimately less data stored on

disk. Some key benefits include:

• Increased ROI of disk. Leverage PureDisk deduplication

designed to dramatically reduce space on standard disk,

allowing for months of backups to be kept online.

• Reduced disaster recovery cost. Cost-efficiently

replicate data to another data center, saving on tape

shipping and storage.
