NetApp Data Backup & Recovery

Traditional data protection systems force organisations to choose between either storing multiple versions of data sets (backups) or to fail over to a full secondary system for instant and reliable data recovery (mirroring and replication).

Storing multiple backups on tape is cost-effective, but recovery is neither fast nor reliable, where as disk backup is often expensive to implement and manage. Mirroring systems, though providing a reliable solution, typically discard old versions of data when synchronising with the primary storage system, meaning that organisations need 2 separate solutions, one for backup/recovery and one for disaster recovery.

The NetApp Solution

NetApp Backup and Recovery Solution

Today's enterprise organizations require consolidated solutions that address the full spectrum of data protection requirements, offering both cost-effective storage of multiple backup images and fail over for rapid, reliable data recovery.

NetApp Backup and Recovery solution speeds up and optimise's backup and recovery processes, heightens enterprise data availability, and minimizes management and capacity costs. NetApp allows organizations to achieve comprehensive data protection within one consolidated solution, combining the ability to store multiple backups with fail over capabilities that deliver instant but reliable data recovery.

NetApp solves the problems of data protection by storing all backup data online, in a non proprietary format, enabling users to browse and recover data on their own. Online backups are verifiable and can provide fail over in the event of a primary system failure, and by capturing only unique changes to data, the system can store more data images, more often.

Using Snapshot technology, the NetApp solution combines NetApp NearStore near line storage systems with NetApp SnapVault software for space efficient online backups and NetApp SnapMirror software for instant fail over and fail back data recovery. Every backup is a user-accessible version of the storage system, so enterprises can fail over to any backup image in any site on any NetApp storage systems and use it as the primary data repository.

NetApp also works with leading software and tape library vendors such as Verities, Tripoli and Bakbone to bring full compatibility and interoperability with plug-ins and the most effective, reliable solution possible.

High Reliability and Improved Data Access

NetApp integrated Data Protection solutions provide simplified, reliable, and cost-efficient data protection. Based upon a common platform and open standards, NetApp solutions enable cost and operational efficiencies by providing multiple backup and recovery capabilities.

Simplified Management

NetApp solutions are easy to implement and manage, helping to streamline IT operations, lowering the total cost of ownership, and accelerating the return on investment.

More Current and Faster Recovery

NetApp technology produces a synchronous record of data at any interval selected, whether that is days, hours or minutes, so that when an unplanned outage occurs, its simply a matter of returning to the most recent data copy and quickly resuming business.
