About NetBackup for OpenStack
NetBackup for OpenStack is a native OpenStack service that provides policy-based comprehensive backup and recovery for OpenStack workloads. The solution captures point-in-time workloads (Application, OS, Compute, Network, Configurations, Data, and Metadata of an environment) as full or incremental backups. These backups are held in NetBackup universal share with MSDP, and can be duplicated to NetBackup supported target storages. With NetBackup for OpenStack and its single click recovery, organizations can improve recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). With NetBackup for OpenStack, IT departments are enabled to fully deploy OpenStack solutions and provide business assurance through enhanced data retention, protection, and integrity.
With the use of NetBackup for OpenStack's VAST (Virtual Snapshot Technology), enterprise IT and the cloud service providers can now deploy backup and disaster recovery as a service to prevent data loss or data corruption through point-in-time snapshots and seamless one-click recovery. NetBackup for OpenStack takes point-in-time backup of the entire workload consisting of compute resources, network configurations, and storage data as one unit. It also takes the incremental backups that only capture the changes that were made since the last backup. Incremental backups save time and storage space as the backup only includes changes since the last backup. The benefits of using VAST for backup and restore can be summarized as follows:
Efficient capture and storage of snapshots. Since our full backups only include the data that is committed to storage volume and the incremental backups only include changed blocks of data since the last backup, our backup processes are efficient and stores backup images efficiently on the backup media.
Faster and reliable recovery. When your applications become complex that snap multiple virtual machines and storage volumes, our efficient recovery process brings your application from zero to operational with the click of a button.
Through policy and automation lower the total cost of ownership. Our tenant-driven backup process and automation eliminates the need for dedicated backup administrators, and improves your total cost of ownership.
