Backup of Enterprise Vault Closed Partition

[vjose79]

Is it necessary to include the Enterprise Vault Closed Partition in the regular (weekly or daily) backups? What is the best practise for the backup of Closed partition?

[TonySterling · Accepted solution]

Yes, you will want to do backups of the closed partitions, just not as often.  A weekly would be fine to catch any changes from deletions, storage expiry, etc..

Hey vjose79,

you might want also to consider to build a backup free storage like the centera.  We have a Product called "EVnearSync" where you can excactly recieve this benefit with "any" kind of storage.

Archived Data is statical, so a reliable second copy should be enough for a DR scenario.

Btw. RPO (Recovery Point Obective) - the allowed Dataloss- is "0" and RTO (Recovery Point Objective)  - the Time the System is online again with all Data - is less than 15 minutes.

Have a look on "http://www.evtools.net/products/ev-nearsync"

Cheers,

Peter

Where as I think the tech is good I really really disagree with the idea of it being classed as a backup for the fact that replication isnt a backup solution, for the fact that if you delete an archive by mistake (it does happen) those deletions will be carried across via the synchronization So yeah from a complete disaster scenario the replication should be good enough provided they're in different data centers but for a restore due to other issues it just doesn't quite cut it Now evnearsync and then backing up the synced data? That for me would be the sweet spot
