Data domain:Using Symantec NetBackup OpenStorage for disk-to-disk backup and recovery

[Soumyaa]

hi,

Does anyone had any tech notes or any useful docs explaining '

Using Symantec NetBackup OpenStorage for disk-to-disk backup and recovery'

My cleint had this set up and I am not a part in config part. Now I want to know how this works. Any info on this is of great help to me.

If I am not wrong I what know about EMC Data domain in correlation with Veritas Nebackup as an application

Thanks,

Soumya

You can download following best practices from EMC:

Just register and you will have access. It is a fairly descriptive paper which I have found to be quite good.

Ask the EMC/DD guys for this doc (or newer version if possible):

OST_Admin_759-0005-0001.pdf

It is not publicly available.  This guide explains how to install, configure, and use Data Domain OST with NBU 6.5. Only difference in 7.x is that the GUI can be used for most of the config.

OST basics are covered in NBU Shared Storage Guide  http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3659 .

Attached within is the DD guide. This will help you in big way. Since DD is not that common product, I usually refer to this guide in case of any queries.

This guide also list lot of notes which are important when you want to integrate it with NetBackup

Not that common of a product?  Last I read, greater than 60+% is what DD has in market share.  I'm NBU certified, but I know very well whats out there.  Now, perhaps your region is not that big for EMC.
