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.
Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server
The same deduplicated data is sent to Access Appliance for long term retention purpose using SLPs through duplication jobs.
See Configuring a Veritas Data Deduplication storage unit on NetBackup.
Use Case: Access Appliance with CloudCatalyst
Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server.
The same deduplicated data is moved to Access Appliance through SLP using CloudCatalyst.
See Configure Access Appliance as a cloud storage server on NetBackup server using CloudCatalyst.
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
Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server. The deduplicated data is rehydrated and then moved to Access Appliance through SLP over the Access Appliance S3 protocol.
See Creating an S3 bucket on Access Appliance for storing deduplicated backup data from NetBackup.
