Bandwidth reduction from data deduplication

Dedupe Level = Transferred / Source = 11.2 / 4,332 = 99.7%

Reduction Factor = Source / Transferred Data = 4,332 / 11.2 = 386:1

A full backup would be 4,332 GB of transferred data (e.g., weekly fulls)

With PureDisk you make one full backup only. All other backups are “incrementals”, but allow a full image recovery at any time.

Challenges with VMware Backup

Simple

Guarantees consistency

Too burdensome on host CPU cycles

++-

NetBackup Client in Each VM

Client-based backup with normal backup clients is just too much overhead!

VMDK-based backups are ideal, but require better coordination between VMware,

NetBackup, and applications!

• Reduces ESX CPU overhead: backup is performed by backup server

• No downtime: VMs always running

• Automated: process managed through NetBackup Enterprise Client

• Reduced time & cost: single backup to take, store, manage

• Flexibility: image-level copy for DR, file-level mapping for single-file recovery

Key Benefits:

Data Deduplication

Global, block-level deduplication reduces duplicate data in the enterprise

NetBackup PureDisk allows all core NetBackupagents, VMware, and remote offices to all share commondeduplicated storage

50-500xreduction

• Reduced backup disk cost: storage reduced by 50-500x, any disk can be used from any vendor

• Reduced backup time: faster backups, less data over the network

• Replication to remote site for DR
