Easily reduce backup data storage costs while optimizing network utilization across physical and virtual environments. Backup Exec Deduplication Option (using Netbackup Puredisk technology) provides integrated and customizable deduplication offering to optimize any backup strategy with: client deduplication (deduplicates data at source or remote server), media server deduplication (deduplicates data at media server), appliance deduplication (integrates with OpenStorage deduplication appliances) or a deduplicated backup set copy (deduplicates data from remote offices to headquarters).
Client Deduplication – Deduplication at the Source
Backup Exec 2010's Deduplication Option can enable client deduplication. This is the act of performing deduplication at the source, and removing redundant data as close to the source as possible maximizes the benefits of deduplication. Backup Exec 2010 offers source deduplication at the client, built into the product for fast, efficient backup and recovery. Client deduplication removes redundant data at the source, which leads to lower memory and bandwidth utilization compared to a traditional backup, thereby freeing up more client resources for production services in both physical and virtual environments. Deduplicating information closer to the source will decrease network traffic and reduce the storage footprint, helping to beat backup windows and make backup strategies more successful. Client deduplication delivers:
- Significant reduction in backup data – up to 9:1 (90%) or higher reduction in amount of data stored for file system backups
- Significant reduction in Microsoft Exchange backup data – up to 6:1 (80%) or higher reduction in the amount of data stored for Exchange backups.
- Significantly reduced network bandwidth – up to 90% or more reduction in network bandwidth for backups
Media Server Deduplication – Reducing the Cost of Storage
Backup Exec 2010's Deduplication Option also enables media server deduplication – deduplication that takes place on the Media Server at backup time. Backup Exec 2010's Deduplication Option enables deduplication that is integrated with the media server. Setup is as easy, creating a Deduplication Storage Folder via an integrated Backup Exec Wizard. The Backup Exec media server offers inline deduplication by processing data streams in flight; requires no extra staging disks for processing, leading to more optimal use of storage. Media server deduplication delivers:
- Significant reduction in backup data – up to 9:1 (90%) or higher reduction in amount of data stored for file system backups
- Significant reduction in Exchange Backup data – up to 6:1 (80%) or higher reduction in the amount of data stored for Exchange backups.
- Cost reduction by utilizing commodity disk and servers
Appliance Deduplication – Leveraging investment in Intelligent Disk Appliances
In remote and branch offices, the traditional backup infrastructure and process are not sufficient. These outdated processes are typically decentralized from the data center and use tape-based data protection as the preferred medium. Backup Exec 2010's Client Deduplication method is WAN optimized, making it ideal for large and small remote sites. Backup Exec 2010 and the Deduplication Option delivers:
- Decreased data footprint for remote and branch offices
- Centralized data protection on disk in remote and central offices
- Dramatically reduced WAN consumption by backups when compared to backups with Client Deduplication – can reduce the amount of data sent over the WAN by up to 90%
