Use Amazon Web Services to Store Your Backups
Moving your backups to AWS could present you an excellent alternative to tape from not only a cost perspective but also from an agility perspective – leapfrogging your data protection from the "dinosaur-era" to today's "instant era." Don’t be a dinosaur!
Need advice - Unable to re-configure CloudCatalyst on Linux media server
Hi, Need some advice here, thank you. Any idea about this error when configuring CloudCatalyst on Linux media server? The error message is "Setting ESFS name and Local cache directory for xxxx -database system error(220)" which shown during configuring CloudCatalyst using Wizard as screenshot below. I'm trying to re-configure CloudCatalyst to this Linux media server was CloudCatalyst component was removed due to the firewall issue which has been fixed now. However, i could not configure CloudCatalyst on the same server anymore with this error. Could someone face the same problem as well? Thank you.
S3 Cloud Storage setup across AWS accounts
Currently using NetBackup to backup servers in a single AWS account to S3 using an IAM user/access keys. This is working fine for backing up to S3 buckets in that account, but there is another AWS account that the NetBackup IAM user has cross acount access to that we want our master server to manage the backups of. The thing I'm trying to figure out is how do I configure netbackup cloud storage to use the IAM user in Account #1 to access/backup to the S3 buckets in Account #2? The IAM user is working just fine and I can access and manage the S3 buckets through CLI from the master in account #1 to account #2, but when configuring cloud storage, it doesn't have an option to say to use account #2's S3 bucket. It only loads the buckets in account #1 or gives me an option to Add Volume which seems to try and create the bucket in Account #1. Is it possible to point it directly to an existing bucket in a different account when the IAM user has cross account permissions or is an IAM user needed for each AWS account being accessed? Thanks
Dedupe storage/comms calculator: useful - maybe?
I scrubbed up an old excel calcutor that some people might find interesting when dealing with deduplication for storage and data transmission between storage devices including cloud(s). Other caculators are avaliable that are backup/recovery centic and will give the amount of storage required that can be feed into this one. Given the prevalence of dedupe most people have a reasonable idea how much can be saved but they usually not aware what happens if the dedupe rate changes. The idea of this calculator to highlight how sensitive data stoage and transmission is to dedpulication efficiciency and less so to other metrics. < more here + download link>(CEP-4349) Cloud Storage POC

Introducing Veritas Cloud Storage: massively scalable data management
Today's unrelenting data growth continues to drive the need for greater storage efficiencies and scalability, and many organizations have embraced object storage as the best approach for providing those efficiencies. However, limitations across multiple object storage solutions have left the full potential of object storage mostly unfulfilled. Attend this session to learn how Veritas is changing this unsatisfying object storage narrative – with a new kind of solution that uses embedded AI and ML to enable greater object storage scalability and lower overall costs from both a CapEx and OpEx perspective. This Vision 2017 session was delivered on Wednesday, Sep 20, 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM. Introducing Veritas Cloud Storage: massively scalable data management from Veritas Technologies LLC
