SnapServer GuardianOS 6.5 Setup Guide
Integrated Backup Solutions
Integrated Backup Options
A wide variety of data management and backup applications are included or available
for GuardianOS-powered SnapServers. As described in the previous scenarios, these
applications and protocols can greatly enhance data protection and backup routines
that involve not only SnapServers, but clients and servers on your network.
Software
NetVault for GuardianOS
NetVault is a comprehensive backup solution from
The master server component
of the NetVault software is preinstalled on your server to support backup and restore operations
to a local SCSI- or USB-connected tape drive.
Note:
GuardianOS SnapServers also support a number of popular third-party backup solutions.
For a list of these solutions and how they compare to NetVault, see the following section.
Licensing
License required on some SnapServers for back up to a locally attached SCSI- or
USB-connected tape device. Licensing required on all SnapServers for additional
modules to upgrade NetVault functionality. Go to the SnapExtensions page in the
GuardianOS and click the License Required link. Upgrades to NetVault functionality
are available from the
SnapServer
Web site.
Snapshots
Snapshots can be incorporated as a central component of your backup strategy to ensure that
all data in every backup operation is internally consistent and that no data is overlooked or
skipped. Snapshots are incorporated into the GuardianOS and are managed from the
SnapServer’s browser-based Administration Tool.
Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (EDR)
Snap EDR is an enterprise-class data management and replication suite. Snap EDR is managed
from a central browser-based console on the SnapServer. Replication Agents can be installed on
GuardianOS-powered SnapServers, as well as Windows, Linux, and Mac workstations.
