Hyper-V Data Protection
NetBackup for Hyper-V Overview
• Simple to configure – install NetBackup and GO!
– No additional software or hardware required
• Up to 90% less back-end
storage (disk, tape, VTL, etc.).
– NetBackup offers media storage optimization via deduplication
• Flexible backup and recovery
– Restore single file from any incremental or full backup
• Shorten virtual machine
backup windows as much as 95%
– Improved RTOS and RPOs
• Simple and faster, disaster recovery
– Restore entire virtual
machine with a few mouse clicks
– Direct single file restore – no need to recreate VM or restage
• File level incremental backups – Enabled via V-Ray Granular
Recovery Technology
• Built-in media server
deduplication
• Backup VM once – restore anything
– Single file or entire VM restore – quick, simple DR
– No client in VM: Granular File Restore built into backup process
– Supports any backup destination – Everything searchable – find any file
instantly
• No need for costly and complicated entire VM “restore, mount and repeat”
process to enable single file restores

Flexible Data Deduplication
Client Deduplication –
Minimize Network traffic
• Deduplication calculations happen at the client
• Greatly reduces data transferred to the Media server
• Greatly reduces the media usage
• Improves backup performance
• Ideal for minimizing the network traffic between clients and Media server

Media Server Deduplication – Offload Client CPU
• Deduplication happens at the Media server
• Greatly reduces the media usage
• Ideal for off-loading the CPU cycles from the Clients
Client Deduplication – Minimize Network traffic
• Deduplication calculations happen at the client
• Greatly reduces data transferred to the Media server
• Greatly reduces the media usage
• Improves backup performance
• Ideal for minimizing the network traffic between
clients and Media server
Deployment Scenario – Local Media Server
• Hyper-V host doubles as media server
– Extremely fast, fewest “hops”
– Data destination is as close as possible to source – Fast restores
– Flexible hardware configuration = NetBackup component(s)

Media Server
NetBackup for
Hyper-V
• Standard LAN transfer with remote media server
– Simple to configure
– Disaster recovery easier – Simply restore VHD files – Data path over network
– Performance limited to available network bandwidth
– Media storage and network optimization via NetBackup Media Server Deduplication
Protecting the Microsoft Data Center with NetBackup 7.6
• Off-host backup of “VSS transportable snapshot”
– Least impact on Hyper-V host: create VSS snapshot
– Backup processing done “off-host” on remote backup server – Backup server can be shared with other Hyper-V hosts
– Requires Storage Array with compatible VSS HW Provider – Restores via LAN

Advanced Features for Hyper-V
• Clustered Shared Volume (CSV) support
• Automatically finds node hosting VM targeted for backup
• Support for Hyper-V VMs
provisioned by System Center
Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
• EXT4 support for Hyper-V VMs
– Windows/RedHat/SuSE file-level recovery supported on Hyper-V
• Physical-to-virtual (P2V) / virtual-to- physical (V2P)
– NetBackup can recover physical
machine backups to virtual machines and vice versa
– P2V recovery is often a quick way to recover from a data center disaster
• Bare Metal Restore (BMR)
– BMR automates the process of building and restoring both physical and virtual machines during recovery
– Performs automatic, scripted Windows installation on bare hardware, then does a full restore
– Hardware does not need to be
identical between backup and restore

1. NBU quiesces the Exchange servers 2. All Exchange VMDKs are snapped 3. NetApp array snapshots are taken
4. The snapshot is replicated to secondary storage
5. Then the snapshot is replicated again to the secondary site
6. This snapshot is mounted on a media server 7. And duplicated to create a backup image for
long term storage on tape
