NetBackup 7 New Feature Highlights
56
NetBackup 7 for VMware Enhancement Overview
• Simple to configure – install NetBackup 7 and GO!
– No additional software or hardware required
• Up to 40% less back-end storage (tape, VTL, etc.).
– NetBackup 7 uniquely offers advanced and efficient backup technologies
• True no-compromise incremental backups
– Restore single file or exact copy of VM from block level incremental
• Shorten virtual machine backup windows as much as 95%
– No secondary holding tank processing
– Faster block level Incrementals
• Fast, easy disaster recovery
– Restore virtual machine over Fibre
– Restore entire virtual machine with 4 mouse clicks
57
NetBackup 7 For VMware
Patent Pending Granular File Restore
• Backup VM once – restore anything*
– Single file or entire VM restore – quick, simple, DR
– No client req’d: Granular File Restore built into backup process
De-duplication

– Efficient: data written to tape only once
– Flexible: supports any backup destination
– Everything searchable – find any file instantly
• No need for costly and complicated entire VM
“restore, mount and repeat” process to enable single file restores
Tape
*Windows only
58
NetBackup 7 for VMware Enhancement Overview
• Block level incremental backups
– Faster incremental backups
– Greatly improves backup efficiency – less data to backup
– Improve VM performance – less backup impact thru BLIB
• Instant single file restore from any Windows virtual machine
– NetBackup 7 can restore anything from any FULL/INCR backup
– Supports cumulative and differential incremental backups
– Provides file level (Word doc, etc.) restore from BLIB
– Only one backup pass required – data written to backup storage once
– Competitors can’t search every VM – only single VM (restored to disk)
59
vSphere: vStorage API – Features
• NetBackup Optimization*
– When files are moved or deleted, file system blocks are still populated
– Only reference to these blocks are removed
– Other technologies backup this “empty” data
• Only NetBackup provides this space saving technology
– Competitors backup all occupied (unused) and used blocks
– NetBackup backs up only used blocks
File system blocks
– NetBackup is only vendor that can provide this
advanced functionality
• Faster backups
• Less back end storage
• Superior deduplication
= Block Occupied: In Use
*Windows only
= Block Occupied: Not Used
NetBackup 7 Media Server Deduplication
• Built into standard NetBackup 7 Media Server distribution
– Simple to configure – wizard based
– Separate deduplication server no longer required
• Deduplication designed specifically for VMware
– Enhanced virtual machine “vmdk aware” deduplication*
– NetBackup deduplicates VM data based on what is inside the vmdk
– Globally deduplicate data between virtual systems and physical
• Why is this better?
– Competitors have no idea what is inside virtual machine
– They deduplicate vmdk files like any big file – less efficient
– Global deduplication from virtual to physical, virtual to virtual
*Windows only

NetBackup 7 Customer Quotes
The VMware vStorage API was the biggest
improvement I was looking at. The rest was
icing on the cake.
NetBackup delivers easier migration and
easier VMware backups.

NetBackup 7 upgrade was very easy and the
benefit of deduplication is awesome. One of
the greatest improvement was getting rid
of VCB.
Mostly excited about the enhancements with
VMware backups. In one test, I backed up a
server using 6.5.5 with VCB it took 16
minutes to complete. backed up the same
server using NBU 7 and it took 6 min 10
sec. greatly improved.
