Collecting data from PureDisk

OpsCenter supports collection of data from NetBackup PureDisk. The collected data is stored in the OpsCenter database, based on which you can generate reports. OpsCenter can collect Policy & Schedule and Job data types from PureDisk Storage Pool Authority (PureDisk SPA).

For more details on PureDisk, refer to the NetBackup PureDisk documentation.

PureDisk SPA and its components that run on the PureDisk operating system (PDOS). The Single Instance Storage (SIS) or deduplication technology of NetBackup PureDisk is unique in storage and backup industry. PureDisk identifies files and the data segments that contain identical data and treats them as a single instance of a file, which it backs up only once. This lets you save storage space. Attributes of identical files, such as name and date of modification can vary.

While backing up a file, PureDisk determines whether multiple instances of the file are present on hosts across the network, including remote hosts. By using the deduplication technology, PureDisk stores only one instance of the file.
