Object change tracking for Cloud object store protection
NetBackup introduces Object Change Tracking, a feature that uses native object store mechanisms to identify changed objects. One such mechanism is S3 Bucket Logging, which records operations such as create, update, and delete in protected buckets.
NetBackup analyzes these logs to detect changes and perform efficient incremental backups without scanning entire buckets. This approach significantly improves backup performance.
NetBackup 11.1 supports this mechanism for IBM Storage Ceph using S3's Bucket Logging feature.
