Netbackup + Azure Cloud Storage

[Gnana_Sekaran]

We are trying to intergrate our backup system to Azure cloud and have a backup copy in blob storage.We have few quires while confguring the same . 

Here is the setup - On Permises Physical Master server + Media server as VM - STU will be on Azure Blob Storage.

1. Do we need internet facing IP address at backup server to communicate with Azure Portal & is there any specific ports to be opened at F/W?

2. Will that support de-dup?

3. Does anyone checked the backup speed between the on-premises and azure cloud ,Our internet LINK speed is 2GB only?.

Hello,

1. Do we need Internet facing IP address at backup server to communicate with Azure Portal & is there any specific ports to be opened at F/W?

> The media server should resolve the Azure site to send data. You can configure the direct Internet access or  configure proxy server between Media server and Azure site. 

2. Will that support de-dup?

> The de-dup is not yet introduce (till NBU 8.0)

3. Does anyone checked the backup speed between the on-premises and azure cloud ,Our Internet LINK speed is 2GB only?.

> The backup performance depend on multiple resources (CPU, Memory, Ethernet). No sure about the 2 GB link.
