Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup
The only OST difference that I recall is that with OST you don' need the mount. As I didn't have multiple media servers, I cannot attest to the effect of that.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup
Thanks for that info. Just to clarify though. If your master is also a media server (as it usually is) you don't have to have a separate media server to talk to the non-NBU appliances. In our environment we have the master/media and multiple other media servers that all use storage units defined using NFS mounts to the various appliances we've used (DD, DXi and ExaGrid). That is to say we can access each appliance from all media servers rather than requiring a separate media server for each. We don't use OST here because of the additional NBU license required so it may be different in an OST setup. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of tsimerson Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 9:02 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup One thing to keep in mind with the major difference between a NetBackup appliance and a dedupe storage appliance (Data Domain, DXi, Exagrid, etc.): a NetBackup appliance is a media server that can do dedupe storage but the other appliances require a media server in front of it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup
What is it NBU can put in their DB policies (software) to make their appliances (hardware) work without RMAN that they couldn’t also have put in to make anyone else’s appliances (or tape for that matter) work? Given you’re spending a fair amount of money on NBU software licenses it seems their shouldn’t be a requirement to use their hardware as well.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup
I’d strongly suggest not making decisions today based on what vendors tell you they “will be able to do” in the future. This is called vaporware because even if the vendor truly has plans to make it so the day they tell you about it, more often than not, it does not happen on the timeline they say and frequently not at all.Planning should be based on what is actually available in vendor products the day you order them rather than future “updates”.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup
I've worked on NetBackup since around version 3 (we're now up to 7.6) and I find it works well with various tape libraries as well as various deduplication appliances (we currently have Quantum DXi and EMC Data Domain and are evaluating ExaGrid. The ExaGrid after 3 weeks of POC looks really good to us so we'll likely replace the DXi and DD units with it - it unlike the other appliances has settings to recognize the backup types being done such as NetBackup.) NetBackup has plugins (at additional cost) that work with many different vendor products (e.g. Oracle RMAN, MS-SQL, MS-Exchange, MS Hyper-V) and of course has agents for standard backups of Systems/Files for UNIX (HP-UX, Solaris [probably AIX but I haven't done that]) , Linux (2.4 kernels through 3.x so far - we do mostly RHEL here), MS-Windows (we've done NT through Windows 2012 but currently don't have anything under Windows 2000). I last directly used HP's backup solution when it was still called Omniback. We don't care for EMC as an organization here because of what they did to us with their storage arrays a few years back. Data Domain as an independent company was fine to work with but we'd not likely buy one now because of EMC's ownership. Dell is buying EMC which may improve them overall but then again it is suggested Dell's main interest is in getting VMWare which EMC has the majority ownership of currently. The DXi we originally got was fine and worked well for our purposes (though tape was always faster and our POC shows the ExaGrid is even faster than tape). However, DXi went to post-ingest deduplication to inline which caused us to miss our backup windows until we finally forced them to revert us to original unit. Were I to look at another DXi I'd require onsite POC before I'd be willing to use their newer units. Although DXi, Data Domain and ExaGrid all allow for offsite replication units I doubt any of them allow you to replicate to anything other than another of their units. The replication is done from appliance to appliance over the WAN not via the backup software (NetBackup, Data Protector). If I read you correctly you are thinking you can replicate from your two colo data domains to some other unit at another site and I don't think that works. We haven't done the offsite replication (we duplicate to tape and send the tapes off site) but in ExaGrid's model they say their offsite replication is only of the compressed/deduped backups (not the landing area which is not deduped yet) so it would use less throughput on WAN. NetBackup makes their own deduplication appliance but my reading about them didn't give me a warm fuzzy so we didn't investigate them when we started looking for replacement for our DXi and Data Domain stuff. We also heard from a company called Actifio which does offsite replication and isn't just a backup solution. My own take on it was that it would be a great product to allow us not to be tied to vendor specific disk arrays for data replication in house (i.e. you can virtualize storage from multiple arrays). It also allows for offsite replication to another unit and they suggest they do very little over the WAN because of the way they set it up. Were we doing such replication rather than tape duplications I might have pushed harder for that. If you're doing a DR plan offsite replication of daily backups allowed by the various dedupe units or the Actifio would probably be the best way to plan rather than spinning tapes so long as you put your offsite replication to something in another city via WAN. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of tech472 Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 3:52 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] HP Data Protector vs Veritas Net Backup Our two EMC Data Domain 640 repositories, one which we keep in our offsite CoLo facility and the other in our main office, have maxed out their capacity sooner than we had planned.
