Dell EMC PowerFlex array

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

Dell EMC PowerFlex contains the functional logic which enables NetBackup to discover the volumes on the Dell EMC PowerFlex array. Then 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 SDK supported by Dell EMC PowerFlex family to communicate with the Dell EMC PowerFlex assets. CloudPoint establishes a connection with Dell EMC PowerFlex array by using RestClient and then uses the SDK methods to discover the volumes and their snapshots that needs to be backed up.
