Use cases for long-term data retention

The following are the use cases for long-term data retention (LTR) using Access Appliance:

Use Case: Access Appliance with Veritas Data Deduplication

  • Veritas Data Deduplication technology is installed on top of Access Appliance and integrates with NetBackup. It catalogs and organizes incoming deduplicated backup data and stores it on Access Appliance storage.

  • MSDP deduplicates the primary backup data and stores it on the NetBackup server.

  • The same deduplicated data is sent to Access Appliance for long-term retention purpose using SLPs through duplication jobs.

  • Veritas Data Deduplication can also act as a source or destination while replicating deduplicated data using Auto Image Replication (AIR).

Use Case: Access Appliance with MSDP-C

  • MSDP deduplicates the primary backup data and stores it on the NetBackup server.

  • The same deduplicated data is moved to Access Appliance through SLP using MSDP-C.

See Configuring Access S3 bucket with NetBackup MSDP-C.

Note:

If you want to use 2.4 PiB of storage, configure Veritas Data Deduplication with 1.2 PiB storage and configure MSDP-C with two buckets of size 600 TB each. Use the virtual IP of one node for Veritas Data Deduplication and use the virtual IP of another node for MSDP-C.

Note:

Veritas does not support a deduplication pool of size greater than 1.2 PiB.

Use Case: Access Appliance as an S3 connector

  • Backup data is stored in non-deduplicated format on the NetBackup server as primary backup. The same primary backup data is moved to Access Appliance through SLP over the Access Appliance S3 protocol.

Or

  • MSDP duplicates the primary backup data and stores it on the NetBackup server.

  • The deduplicated data is rehydrated and then moved to Access Appliance through SLP over the Access Appliance S3 protocol.

Figure: Backup data stored in non-deduplicated format on the NetBackup server as primary backup and the same backup data duplicates to Access Appliance over Access S3 protocol.

Note:

Configurations and use cases beyond storing copies for long term retention periods require a Support Exception. Please contact your Veritas representative for details on the Support Exception approval process.
