Netbackup, HP StoreOnce/DataDomain, Multiple Sites, DR
I'm looking into a new setup. Is it possible to run backup from VMware servers (on both sides) to HP StoreOnce/DataDomain and then to the tapelibrary. I was thinking about using a Storge Lifecycle Policy.
SITE 1
VMware servers
Netbackup Server
HP StoreOnce Backup System or DataDomain(OST?)
SITE 2
VMware servers
Netbackup Server
HP StoreOnce Backup System or DataDomain (OST?)
TapeLibrary (FC or SAS)
What licences do I need? Enterprise disk licence?
How do I restore a site in a DR scenario? Do I need to catalog the media? Should I look into the Netbackup AIR function?
Sounds good to me - need a reseller?!
And yes no problem duplicating to tape automatically.
To use AIR you have an identically names SLP on each site
The source site has a Backup job to the local appliance plus a duplication job to a "remote master"
The destination site has an SLP with the same name with an Import job (detects the files arriving and imports them into NetBackup) followed by a duplication job (duplicates the imported images to tape)
All very cool and gives control over all the different retention periods every where as well
When happy dont forget to mark a solution to close the thread off and then send me the order - LOL!
