Pure Storage FlashBlade NAS array
NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for the file systems that are set up on the storage host. NetBackup extends the NAS support to protect the file systems based on the following protocols:
Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) hosted on the Pure Storage FlashBlade array environment.
You can configure CloudPoint to discover data, perform backup, and then restore operations on NFS and SMB file systems.
Pure Storage FlashBlade plug-in contains a functional logic which enables NetBackup to discover the file systems on the Pure FlashBlade array. Then the plug-in triggers the snapshot to create, export, deport, and delete operations for file systems.
Note:
You must configure the Pure Storage FlashBlade plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.
CloudPoint uses the REST API SDK of purity-fb version 1.12.2 to communicate with the Pure Storage FlashBalade assets.
Using SDK exposed RestClient library CloudPoint establishes a connection with Pure Storage FlashBlade array.
Then uses the SDK methods to discover the file systems and its' snapshots which need to be backed up.
