  3. Today… • 62 remote sites • Sept 2009… • NetBackup 6.5.3.1 • L700 with 9 LTO2 drives • Backing up 110TB every two weeks • 1 dedicated master and 4 media servers • Two datacenters • Today 425 servers in the backup rotation

  4. Challenges… • Backup up remote sites • One server per site • Data ranges from 40GB to 150GB • 6 to 9 MB pipe to each site • VMware backups • Arrived and implemented • Backed up at file level with NetBackup • NetBackup Policy • Over abundance of policies • NAS Backups • Large NFS environment • Infinity retention • Legal wanted ALL backups held for infinity, late 2006 • Catalog grow from 90GB to 1.2TB (online & archived)

  5. Solutions… • Backup up remote sites • Source based deduplication • Backups went from days to hours • Restore remote sites backups to VMware for DR and long term retention • VMware backups • Implemented NetBackup/VCB on dev/test/stage • NetBackup Policy • Learned environment • Reduced and consolidated policies • NAS Backups • License & configure NDMP • Infinity retention • Worked with Directors to allow 30 day retention on dev/test/stage • Worked with Directors to set standard retention on all DB backups • Working on more realistic retention on production

  6. Current Projects… • Bidirectional backups and DR all in one • Production datacenter 37.5TB per week • Dev/Test/Stage datacenter 17.5TB per week • All duplication done at dev/test/stage datacenter

  7. Other Projects… • VCB/NetBackup in production datacenter • 165 Production VMware Servers • Simplify Environment • Reduce devices • Disk • Migrating Master server to new hardware/OS • Moving to dedicated master

  8. NetBackup over the years… • The good… • GUI based Vault • Calendar scheduling • Synthetic Full • Open Storage • EMM Database • NetBackup Operations Manager • NDMP • The bad… • Move the Cancel All Jobs • Java connect to each host when you look under ‘Host Properties | Clients’ • Synthetic status code 671

  9. Other ways NetBackup has helped ADESA… • Servers blocking connections due to over abundance of processes • Applications team installing unlicensed software • Bad routers at remote sites • Improper port settings • Crashed servers • Firewall issues

  10. What I would like to see in the future… • Scheduler..every time we upgrade more issues come • NDMP to disk • Better interface

  11. Favorite Command? • # bppllist <insert_exchange_policy_name> -L | grep “Type:” • Policy Type: MS-Exchange-Server (16) • Data Mover Type: 2 • Type: FULL SExchange(0) • Incr Type: DELTA (0) • Type: FULL SExchange(0) • Incr Type: DELTA (0)
