Backup and restore to external arrays
EMC ProtectPoint integrates primary storage on storage arrays running HYPERMAX
OS and protection storage for backups on an EMC Data Domain system.
ProtectPoint provides block movement of the data on application source LUNs to
encapsulated Data Domain LUNs for incremental backups.
Application administrators can use the ProtectPoint workflow to protect database
applications and associated application data.
The ProtectPoint solution uses Data Domain and HYPERMAX OS features to provide
protection:
On the Data Domain system:
l
vdisk services
l
FastCopy
On the storage array:
l
FAST.X (tiered storage)
l
SnapVX
The combination of ProtectPoint and the storage array-to-Data Domain workflow
enables the Application Administrator to:
l
Back up and protect data
l
Retain and replicate copies
l
Restore data
l
Recover applications
Data movement
The following image shows the data movement in a typical ProtectPoint solution. Data
moves from the Application/Recovery (AR) Host to the primary array, and then to the
Data Domain system.
