Everything you need to know about protecting your Hadoop data using NetBackup
Yes, the elephant is out of the room :) You can now effectively protect your Hadoop data by simply deploying the NetBackup plug-in for Hadoop. Following linkshave all the informationyou will need: Introduction Installing and deploying Hadoop plug-in for NetBackup Configuring NetBackup for Hadoop Performing backups and restores of Hadoop Troubleshooting Also, see the About the NetBackup plug-ins and agents: Download, install, and availability informationarticle on Support site. Using the NetBackup Parallel Streaming Framework (PSF), Hadoop data can now be protected using NetBackup. The following diagram provides an overview of how Hadoop data is protected by NetBackup. As illustrated in the diagram: The data is backed up in parallel streams wherein the DataNodes stream data blocks simultaneously to multiple backup hosts. The job processing is accelerated due to multiple backup hosts and parallel streams. The communication between the Hadoop cluster and the NetBackup is enabled using the NetBackup plug-in for Hadoop. The plug-in is available separately and must be installed on all the backup hosts. For NetBackup communication, you need to configure a Big Data policy and add the related backup hosts. You can configure a NetBackup media server, client, or master server as a backup host. Also, depending on the number of DataNodes, you can add or remove backup hosts. You can scale up your environment easily by adding more backup hosts. The NetBackup Parallel Streaming Framework enables agentless backup wherein the backup and restore operations run on the backup hosts. There is no agent footprint on the cluster nodes. Also, NetBackup is not affected by the Hadoop cluster upgrades or maintenance.Protecting Azure Stack HCI with NetBackup
Backup and recovery are essential to protect the data on your hybrid-infrastructure investments, but such solutions can introduce complexity or fall short of what’s necessary to protect all your organizations’ workloads. As a leader in data backup and recovery, Veritas NetBackup provides enterprise IT organizations with a simple and powerful way to ensure the integrity and availability of your data, including hybrid clouds. Azure Stack HCI is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) cluster solution that hosts virtualized Windows and Linux workloads and their storage in a hybrid environment combining on-premises infrastructure with Azure cloud services. NetBackup supports Microsoft Azure Stack HCI with the same robust features NetBackup already delivers forHyper-V.

With NetBackup 9.1 and higher, you can now reduce the complexity of your data management with a fast, cost-effective, and unified Azure Stack HCI backup and recovery solution. Backup and recovery are essential to protect the data on your hybrid-infrastructure investments, but such solutions can introduce complexity or fall short of what’s necessary to protect all your organizations’ workloads. As a leader in data backup and recovery, Veritas NetBackup provides enterprise IT organizations with a simple and powerful way to ensure the integrity and availability of your data, including hybrid clouds.

NetBackup supports Microsoft Azure Stack HCI with the same robust features NetBackup already delivers for Hyper-V. Benefits of protecting your Azure Stack HCI with NetBackup 1. Ensure 100% availability of your virtual machines with NetBackup’s snapshot technology, which uses Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) depending on your Windows server version. 2.Reduce the size of your backup image with Block-level backups of the virtual machine. 3. Optimize backup performance and increase speed to restore with the NetBackup Accelerator. By using Microsoft’s resilient change tracking (RCT) NetBackup can offer faster backups—in full or incremental—of your virtual machines. 4. Restore full virtual machine from: Full backups of the VM, Block-level incremental backups of the VM, and Accelerator backups of the VM. 5. Restore individual files of the virtual machine from: File-level incremental backups of the VM, Full backups of the VM, Block-level incremental backups of the VM, and Accelerator backups of the VM. 6. Flexibility to restore to the original location or alternate location. As shown on the screenshot below 7. Reduce human error and intervention by automating backup and recovery with Intelligent Policies allowing you to automatically select virtual machines based on your organizations defined criteria. 8. Ensure a workload will operate correctly when data is restored with application consistent backups.
