Optional Backup Software
This section describes SnapServer support for backup software included with the
SnapServer and third-party backup solutions.
Integrated Backup Solutions
SnapServers offer integrated support for a number of third-party backup packages
that can be used to create a complete backup solution out-of-the-box or to enhance
existing backup solutions. The scenario below suggests one way these components
may be integrated.
Scenario
The following diagram shows the relationship between data management and
replication tools supplied with the SnapServer to back up clients and servers to a local
SCSI-attached tape device.
1. Use local backup software to back up data from user workstations or laptops to
workgroup SnapServers on both LANs.
2. Snap EDR then replicates the data stored on enterprise GuardianOS-powered
SnapServers from LAN 2 to LAN 1.
3. Snapshots configured on the SnapServer 650 ensure that the file system back up
is internally consistent and complete.
4. NetVault backs up data from these snapshots to a local SCSI-attached tape
device for off-site storage.
