Dell EMC PowerStore SAN array

NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for volumes that are set up on the storage array. NetBackup extends the SAN support and allows you to protect mounted iSCSI/FC volumes that are hosted on the Dell EMC PowerStore array environment. You can configure CloudPoint to discover data, perform backups, and restore operations.

Dell EMC PowerStore contains the functional logic which enables NetBackup to discover the SAN volumes on the Dell EMC PowerStore array. Then the plugin triggers the snapshot to create, export, deport, and delete operations for the exports. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.

CloudPoint uses the REST API supported by Dell EMC PowerStore family to communicate with the Dell EMC PowerStore assets. CloudPoint establishes a connection with Dell EMC PowerStore array by using RestClient and then uses the SDK methods to discover the SAN volumes and their snapshots that needs to be backed up.
