Data replication to Cloud
Hi all, my customer is willing to setup a Disaster Recovery solution. The source environment is based on Netbackup + DataDomain using DDBoost. Customer would like to replicate to cloud without using DELL DDVE, but he'd rather prefer to use standard blob storage in Azure. Can this be achieved using native NetBackup replication features, or do we need to stop using DDBoost on the source environment and start using a different deduplication tool? I've been given the attached high level architecture, but colleagues state that DDBoost must be disabled in order to use MSDP-C for replication.
Update Remote Host on DDBoost Association
Hello Community, We recently relocated our backup environment to a new physical location which forced us to change the domain suffix of our NBU environment and Data Domain. The prefix/hostname has stayed the same. We have NBU AIR configured with DDBOOST/EMC Data Domains. So initially we used this similar article to configure NBU Air for a Data Domain (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100015147_ however with the move now the remote host information has changed and should be updated. Can this be edited or does the association have to be destroyed and recreated? Sorry for the lame dns suffixes but had to generalize it.. original location: westcoast.acme.corp new location: eastcoast.acme.corp So westcoast.acme.corp needs to be updated to eastcoast.acme.corp ddboost association show Local Storage Unit Direction Remote Host Remote Storage Unit Import To ------------------ -------------- ----------------------- ------------------- --------- air_lsu replicate-from dest.westcoast.acme.corp remote_local local_lsu replicate-to dest.westcoast.acme.corp remote_air_lsu - ------------------ -------------- ----------------------- ------------------- --------- Thanks so much.
BE15, DataDomain optimized replication & replication to tape
We have two sites with two MBES servers on each site and a single DataDomain on each site. One site has a tape library. We also have a CASO server controlling the show. We wish to replicate backups to the DD on the other site, and write the monthly backups to physical tape (located in only one site). Site1: 2xMBES + DataDomain Site2: 2xMBES + DataDomain + Library + CASO We've got the DataDomain accessed through OpenStorage (DDBoost client) all fine. I discovered that both DD have to be presented to all BE servers - so that BE can perform a DDBoost optimized replication from one DD to the other. We configured two Server Pools, so when a backup is performed on Site1, it can be directed to just one of the Site1 MBES, and the same at Site2. Backing up to DD and replicating to the other site works fine - however I'm having issues when trying to replicate to the tape library in Site2. This works OK for backup jobs that start in Site2 since the MBES in Site2 can see both DataDomains and the tape library. However - for backups in Site1, when I try and do the same, it doesn't let me do this due to none of the Site1 MBES having access to the tape library: "The Backup Exec server specified and the device/storage devices pool specified do not share any devices". What I would like to do is configure the backup & DD replication to be performed by the Site1 Server Pool, but the replication to tape to be done through the Site2 Server Pool. How can this be done?
