Fast backup of files - No load, ransomware protection, fast restore - PowerProtect Data Manager PPDM

Millions of files? Huge number of TBs?
Slow backup? Issue with restore?

There is a solution! You can backup any file share fast, secure and with easy restore!
See what PowerProtect Data Manager offers for backup of CIFS/NFS - any NAS shares!
* Huge fast - backup every hour!
* Hardware agnostic
* Fast restore

0:05 - Backup of files can be pain
- load
- time

0:30 - Agenda

0:50 - Why do we talk about backup of files?
- we talk about CIFS/NFS that is tough to backup
- no agent possible as for Windows NTFS use case
- we have millions of files / hundreds of TB

2:58 - We talk about PowerProtect Data Manager
- can backup fast CIFS / NFS shares from any vendor

3:29 - Architecture of the backup file share
- we have FULL backup by only reading what has changed since last backup
- backup is huge fast because we read only delta

6:40 - Value
- no load of protected system / protected system does not feel the backup
- no load of network - protected share can be far from media
- backup is huge fast / I can perform backups frequently

8:12 - What does t mean that every backup is full but we read delta?
- if 2 files have changed, we will read just them
- we have a full backup
- this is magic and incredibly fantastic

10:12 - PPDM uses BOOST protocol

10:25 - It is magic and fantastic!
- during couple of minutes we can have a full backup

10:45 - PowerProtect Data Manager demo
- PPDM just controls backups - does not take part in data movement

12:35 - Automated dividing for streams / slices
- dynamic slicing
- every 200 GB is single stream
- 3 streams for 600 GB data
- every 1 million of files is single stream
- 5 streams for 5 millions of slices

14:15 - demo - setup maximum number of streams for particular share
- we do not want to use to many streams for particular streams
- limiting streams for a large number of TBs

16:15 - The backup is controlled by proxy
- PPDM controls backups from aside
- proxy is installed automatically from PPDM
- I can have many proxy - every of them is 24 streams

17:26 - This is functionality for all possible CIFS/NFS shares
- any CIFS any NFS on whatever storage
- hardware agnostics
- we can enjoy huge speed
- it is just software / proxy
- proxy is just Virtual Machine
- we can add a new proxy / VM to add streams
- 24 streams per proxy

19:12 - How many Data Domain systems are supported?
- as many as we want
- we can use bigger one - DD9900 - almost 2000 streams

19:38 - No agent required
- agentless 100%
- we do not install anything - also on the backed up share
- adding a new share - we will se no agent is required
- showing how simple is adding a new share to PowerProtect Data Manager

21:20 - Proxy binaries are within PPDM
- demo how easy is to install the proxy

21:50 - Only first backup is reading whole data
- every following backup is reading change but we have a full backup

22:07 - Proxies are deployed manually
- we shall have more calculate how many streams we require
- if we need 50 streams probably we need 3 proxies (x24 - 72 streams) - to have some buffer

22:47 - What do we get? Summary:
- Speed
- Frequent backups
- All backups are FULL
- Immediate restore
- Granular restore

23:02 - Protection against ransomware / hacker attack
- we can setup retention lock
- demo - setup retention lock live in PPDM
- production can be deleted but our backup will survive

24:17 - Self-backup infrastructure
- demo of self-backup infrastructure
- when we create policy we need to manually say which shares we want to backup
- but we want that PPDM automatically add new shares connected with PPDM
- showing dynamic filters live
- all shares that in the name contain k8s must be automatically backed up
- we see that now PPDM will backup 4 shares having k8s within name
- we can also say that big shares go to one policy / small shares go to another policy
- all backups from some Isilon shall go somewhere
- Self backup infrastructure is available only for Unity / PowerStore / PowerScale

27:35 - What is Self-backup infrastructure?
- PPDM asks NAS and asks if there are new shares
- if this no name share, PPDM cannot scan for new shares, no one to ask for new resources to backup

29:00 PPDM supports any CIFS / NFS
- huge fast backup for any share
- for self-backup infrastructure we need supported system to ask about new resources

29:34 - Do we need any post-backup for always FULL?
- NO any post backup actions required
- We have FULL backups like that!
- Please test it and touch it on your own

30:15 Restore
- we have many backups of different shares
- backups of NetApp / Qnap
- we can restore to the same NAS
- we can restore to Linux / Windows
- we can restore to any target
- we do not use NDMP

31:52 Granular restore
- we can restore single file

32:15 We can search for files
