DATA DE-DUPLICATION

3

Page 4: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

THE CONCEPT

Data de duplication is a technology that examines data for redundancy, storing only unique data "chunks" to disk.

4

Data De-duplication

In this picture, think of each shape as a chunk of data. De-duplication would find unique shapes i.e. unique chunk of data and store it ONLY once on disk, thus introducing lots of savings in disk space.

THE CONCEPT

C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5

D1 D2 D3 D4 D1 D3.ref file .ref file

This is the first backup image.Redundancies can be found within this first backup image. Ex – C4 and C5 are same and hence are pointing to the data chunk D4 on disk.

Data De-duplication

This is the second backup image.A lot of redundancies were found and hence only 2 data chunks were written in this backup. Most of the chunks in the current backup image “POINT” to previous backups

DATA DE-DUPLICATION

Page 8: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION

REDUCED DISK SPACE

Almost 90% of the data in weekly backups remain the same as previous weeks backup.

Data de-duplication will eliminate those redundancies and reduce the size of backup image on disk.

For ex – Assume that you were backing up 5 TB to disk and copying data to tape, and you were retaining the data on disk for 3 weeks. This would mean that you would need at least 15 TB of disk space

De-duplication would require just about 5-6 TB of disk space. The savings would be more visible when you want more backup images on site.

Data De-duplication

Page 9: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION

FASTER BUSINESS RECOVERY TIMES

Because of the reduction in disk space for each backup image, more backup versions could be maintained on site. So instead of 2 weeks, you could retain backup images for almost 12 weeks onsite.

Hence when restores have to be done from any of the backup images within the last 12 weeks, you don’t have to wait for the tapes to come from offsite. Instead you could do the restores right off the DDD media onsite.

Data De-duplication

Page 10: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION

GREEN TECHNOLOGY

More disks means more spindles being powered which in turn means more power consumption.

De-duplication reduces the disk space requirements and hence also reduces the power requirements.

10

Data De-duplication

Page 11: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION

CHEAPER THAN TAPES AND TAPE LIBRARIES

If, in your environment, you don’t have the requirement to store data on tapes you could replace your tape infrastructure with backups to DDD.

If, in your environment, using backups to de dupe you could get away with copying just the monthly data to tapes, this reduces your tape library size requirements.

11

Data De-duplication

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION

1. De-duplication at Backup Server

2. De-duplication at production Server

3. De-duplication at block level

4. De-duplication at file level

5. De-Duplication at block level and optimized, where possible, at file level

6. Inline De-duplication

7. Post process De-duplication

8. Inline and post process de-duplication

Data De-duplication

Page 13: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

BLOCK LEVEL DE-duplication

BLOCK level de dupe is smart enough to detect the changes that happened and write ONLY data around the changes.

Optimization in de dupe is useful for backups of Windows file system.ARCserve de dupe engine will NOT do costly de dupe processing for data belonging to files which did not change.

This reduces the CPU utilization and also reduces the backup window.

This is enabled, by default.

Page 32: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

Delayed Disk reclamation – When ARCserve sessions have to be deleted, it would reduce the reference count of the corresponding chunks of data. When the reference count of a chunk becomes zero, that much amount of disk space is ready to reclaimed. But if those small chunks are reclaimed right away, the volume could get fragmented.Choosing Delayed Reclamation will cause the data to be reclaimed ONLY when multiple such chunks could be reclaimed.Using this approach the volume would be less fragmented.

ARCserve Media Assure

Page 45: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ARCserve Media Assure

This is a policy driven job which picks up ARCserve sessions randomly from any ARCserve media (including DDD) and scans ARCserve sessions on the media.

It scans all the metadata and data that is present in an ARCserve session on the media.

45

Page 46: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

ARCserve Media Assure

A successful scan of ARCserve session assures that the data is restorable.

It automatically validates the backup images in the background. This reduces the inertia to adopt new technologies like de-duplication or even continue to use older technologies like Multiplexing

Having such a policy based feature gives a “peace of mind” to backup administrators.

Page 54: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

VIRTUALIZATION

Virtualization is available from multiple vendors like

• VMware

• Microsoft

• Xen

Page 55: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

VIRTUALIZATION

• There rate of virtualization of servers continues to increase.

• CA, as a corporation, has a very big focus on virtualization.

• Our Business Unit has a huge emphasis on virtualization as will be evident from the innovation that has been introduced in ARCserve R12.5 virtualization enhancements.

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

Page 57: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

Just like any other entity in an enterprise, a virtual machine has to be

• Managed

• Protected (Backed up)

Our focus in today’s discussion will be primarily on protecting Virtual machines

Page 58: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

A virtual machine can be backed up in many different ways

• Install Agent inside a Virtual Machine

• Install Agent on the Physical machine and backup all the VMs as files

• Do a server less backup. For ex – VCB backups in VMware environments

Each of the above has its own advantages and disadvantages

Page 59: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

Install Agent inside a Virtual Machine

ADVANTAGES:• Everybody knows how to do this. A lot of environments continue to backup VMs using this

approach because everyone understands this and is simple.

• If you have applications inside a VM and want to do the conventional full and log backups, this is a simple approach to do your backups

DISADVATANGES:• Virtual Machines are already taxed because of them being virtual. Backups from within a

VM increases COU utilization, n/w utilization and could impact the performance of that VM and possibly other VMs which are running on the same physical machine.

• This might not reduce backup window

Page 60: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

Install Agent inside Physical Machine

ADVANTAGES:• The agent on physical machine will backup the files belonging to the VMs

• This is also a simple approach and doesn’t need for anyone to understand any new technologies.

• This is a the best approach to backup Hyper V VMs from a Hyper V physical machine.

DISADVATANGES:• ESX 3i doesn’t have a console and hence this approach won’t be possible

• Some admins are reluctant to install anything on an ESX server for whatever reason

• The backups from the physical machine will utilize CPU, n/w, disk and hence might impact the performance of VMs that are running on that physical machine.

Page 61: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES

Serverless backup – backup using a Proxy agent

Before we explain advantages and disadvantages, let’s see how this technology works. Currently this is possible ONLY in VMware environments using VCB technology.

> No file level restore from the Image backup

> No VM recovery for VMware & Hyper-V VMs

> No incremental/differential for Hyper-V VM

> No VM recovery to alternate physical machines

> No simple to use reports focused on VMs

> In r12, all ARCserve users are Administrators. All users can do everything. Example- John can

update/modify/delete Jack’s job.

> User operations in ARCserve do not have a audit log. Administrator cannot figure out who did what. E.g. Which user deleted this specific job ?

Password Management

> What is Password Management? ARCserve Backup can save session passwords into

ARCserve Database during backups.

The saved session passwords can be used by ARCserve Backup automatically for restores, scan, merge and compare operations.

So, ARCserve User can shift the burden of remembering all session passwords to ARCserve Backup

Password Management

Page 134: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection  Granular recovery from image backup  Support for VMware, Microsoft

Password Management

> Session Password Expiration Period Users may have a password changing policy that requires

all passwords to be periodically changed. This is a good security practice.

ARCserve Backup can be configured to show a reminder to the change the password after a specified period of time.

This functionality works for all Backup Jobs. User can enable it while configuring backup jobs.

> Export/Import of session passwords User can also export the session passwords periodically for

Escrow purposes and Disaster recovery scenarios.
