Use cases for long-term data retention

The following are the use cases for long-term data retention (LTR) with OpenDedup:

Figure:

Figure:

  • Backup data is stored in non-deduplicated format on the NetBackup server as primary backup.

  • The same primary backup data is moved to Veritas Access 3340 Appliance through SLP over the Veritas Access S3 protocol.

  • Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server.

  • The deduplicated data is rehydrated and then moved to the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance through SLP over the Veritas Access S3 protocol.
