Tape Backup
Online Backup and Recovery:
(Electronic Vaulting) Defined
Involves the scheduled movement of “point-in-time”
snapshots of data volumes across a network to a
remote location.
Enables recovery of prior “point-in-time” snapshots of
data volumes across a network from a remote
location.
Recoveries could consist of portions of data volumes
(i.e. files or folders) or entire data volumes.
Why Backup and Recover Online?
Send backup data off-site immediately
Reduce backup windows
Eliminate tape management hassles
Recover off-site data faster
Eliminate tape and data format obsolescence
Minimize costs associated with distributed backups
Most Restores are small…
• Exceeds majority of
user restore
requirements
• Restores begin
immediately
• Most restores are less
than 1GB (90%+ are
simple file or folder
restore)
• As a result, the
majority of all restores
can be performed via
E-Vaulting over a
DSL line in < 2 hours

serviced online

Protocol (BRTP)
Storage Pool
Architecture
E-Vaulting is fast, efficient and reliable:
Only changed blocks within file are transmitted after first backup (Delta
Processing)
Backup Restore Transmission Protocol (BRTP) - for controlling session achieves
high performance and reliability.
Storage architecture manages many versions of client data in a relatively small
footprint.
E-Vaulting is the future of Backup
Disk to disk backup has many advantages over traditional methods
- Immediately off-site
-
Better security
Instant recovery
Better reliability & consistency
Data lifespan is longer

Dimensions of Storage
Management
Bruce Backa,
CTO
NTP Software
The Dimensions
• Real-time management
– actions that have to be taken as events occur, such as
limits
• Non real-time management
– post-facto analysis, I.e.: reporting, cost allocation
• Instrumentation
– speeds, feeds, and errors
How the Issues Stack Up
• The challenges in storage management
occur along one or more of these
dimensions
• Knowing where the issue is tells you what
type of technology you need to address it
What About the Cost?
• Storage technology is expensive enough to
command management - we have to do it
• Better use of resources might help with
some of the costs
• Process automation - relieving the load of
network admins. and help desk staff more
than covers it
NTP Software’s Product Set
Tool
• The focus of our products is real-time and classic
SRM applications
• We integrate with the hardware manufacturer’s
instrumentation and frameworks such as Tivoli
and Unicenter
• Our products form the basis of your storage
policies, process and work flow automation
Conclusion
• We have to manage
• We can cover the cost of the technology by
better use of resources and process
automation
• NTP Software’s applications and the EASE
policy engine give you what you need to
get the job done

Market Reaction
We just spent 25 million on our first SAN, if we don’t set up
best practices from the start, we won’t truly leverage the
shared infrastructure
-- VP, major insurance company
We are looking to take system availability from 3 to 4
‘nines’. Networked storage skills are scarce. Indio
‘replicates’ the knowledge of our experts -- dramatically
improving the quality of our operations
-- VP, information services provider
Indio allows us to rollout new systems and services to our
users, here, or around the world, and get it right the first
time.
