Here is a awesome story and a good example for federated deduplication from a company in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Before using HP StoreOnce, the company used to protect its data in the two datacentres using HP Data Protector. The data (FileSystems, MS Exchange, MS SQL and VMware) was written to several file libraries (hosted on HP EVA 8100) and then destaged to an LTO4 tape library daily. For about 20 remote sites the backup was done using Symantec Backup Exec and locally attached tape drives or Autoloaders.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;The backup environment was difficult to manage and a constant source of frustration.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>In mid-2013 the Australian company decided to change the backup &#038; recovery strategy and to move to an entire HP Data Protector and HP StoreOnce (including Veeam) solution. Planning and design was done internally, supported by an HP engineer. HP Data Protector 8.0 was implemented as the primary backup solution for all remote sites and the two datacentres. The company uses HP StoreOnce 2620 systems or HP StoreOnce 4420 systems for the remote sites and a HP StoreOnce 4430 system in each datacentre in the central site. Catalyst is used to replicate the data between the systems without the need for rehydration.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;It is now the most reliable and thorough backup solution our company has ever deployed.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><u>The backup strategy for the remote sites:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HP Data Protector backs up all FileSystem data to the local HP StoreOnce system.<\/li>\n<li>The backups are then automatically replicated to the HP StoreOnce system in the first (main) datacentre using Catalyst replication (&#8220;Object Copy&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>Another automated job copies (replicates) the data from the first main datacentre over to the second datecentre.<\/li>\n<li>For the end of week backups a final automated &#8220;Object Copy&#8221; writes the data to an LTO6 Tape Library at the second datacentre.<\/li>\n<li>The tapes are sent to a secure offsite storage location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Result:<\/b> The site\u2019s data resides on local HP StoreOnce system (data is separated from production), both datacentre HP StoreOnce systems and also on tape for the weekly backups.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;We can recover from a local server, local site and both datacentres beeing offline&#8230;&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><u>The backup strategy for main datacentres:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HP Data Protector backs up all FileSystem, MS Exchange, MS SQL and VMware data to the first HP StoreOnce 4430 system.<\/li>\n<li>The backups are then automatically replicated to the HP StoreOnce 4430 system in the second datacentre using Catalyst replication (&#8220;Object Copy&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>For the end of week backups a final automated &#8220;Object Copy&#8221; then writes the data to an LTO6 Tape Library at the second datacentre.<\/li>\n<li>The tapes are sent to a secure offsite storage location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Result:<\/b> Each datacentre\u2019s data resides on their local HP StoreOnce system (data is separated from production), the other datacentre\u2019s HP StoreOnce 4430 and also on tape for the weekly backups.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;We can recover from either one or both datacentres being offline&#8230;&#8221;.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion and major achievments:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hardware separation of production and backups.<\/li>\n<li>Using Federated Data Deduplication the data is NEVER rehydrated during the replication process.<\/li>\n<li>The entire backup and replication process is 100% automated.<\/li>\n<li>A single management point for all backup and restore operations was achieved, reducing the man hours required to validate and confirm backups every day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please continue to share YOUR story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I asked you to share your StoreOnce success story.
