NETAPP SYNCSORT
INTEGRATED BACKUP
Technical Overview
Peter Eicher
Current State of Data Protection
! Four architectural areas cause pain points, poor
performance and excessive costs
– Data is read/moved more times than needed
– Point products add complexity and cost
– Backup data is stored inefficiently
– DR is complex and resource intensive Physical & VM

NSB Data Protection
! Read and move data only once
– Backups complete in minutes
– CPU impact ~ 1-2%
! Ideal for virtual environments
! Integrates with critical applications

Block Level Data Protection
! Move only changed blocks
– 95% data reduction
– Backup in minutes
! Change journal eliminates
file system scanning and hashing
– 95% less CPU, disk and
network I/O impact ! Ideal for VM protection ! Utilizes VMware CBT for
Agentless backup
= file changes, traditional backup = block changes, NSB backup
A Better Backup Architecture
! Protects all data types with a single solution ! Eliminates device/media server layer
Application Integration
! Support for key applications
– Exchange, SQL, SharePoint
! Ensures data integrity
– Backup verification built-in
! Cluster aware
– “Virtual Node” simplifies
administration
– Saves time and improves
reliability Clustered servers managed
as a single “Virtual Node”
Advanced SharePoint Protection
! Simplifies a complex
data protection challenge
! All critical SharePoint
items grouped under a single “Virtual Node”
! Recover from farm to
individual item level
NSB Data Protection
! Backup images stored as usable snapshots
– Instant recovery of data: two clicks
– Data access for multiple users with no overhead
! NetApp deduplication and compression

Block Changes Stored as Snapshots
! Each block incremental creates a snapshot
–
Uses 90% less storage

deduplication
–
Snapshots enable instant recovery
