Data Backup

We’ll State the Case for Having a solid backup strategy Complying with your strategy Testing your backups


Terms to Know

Cost of Downtimeo Impact of downtime to business described in $$

$• Lost sales• Cost related to reputation


Terms to Know

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)o Targeted duration of time and service level

within which a business process must be restored after a disaster (or disruption) in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity


Terms to Know

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)o Maximum targeted period in which data might

be lost from an IT service due to a major incident


Our Objectives

Provide Actionable Best Practices Help Improve Your Backup Strategies


Let’s Start Simple

3-2-1 Backup


x2 x1x3

Create 3 copies(1 original; 2

copies)

Store copies on at least 2 types of media

(local drive, NAS, tape, etc.)

Store 1 of these copies

offsite/Cloud

Ideal Scenario

Both Backup & Replication Backups

o Restore to any desired point in time Replication

o Minimize downtime o Higher services availability


Software Recommendations

Acronis Physical Environments

Veeam and Symantec Backup Exec Virtual Environments


Use of Multiple Backup Servers


Why & When to Use Multiple Backup Servers Many Backup Software Products Allow It Helps Process Backups Faster Decision Factors

o Amount of data to be backed upo Length of time available in backup window

Server Configuration Options

More Backup Jobs, More Resources Backup Software

o Developer provides minimum specs Backups with Encryption or Compression

o CPU and RAM intensive Under Provisioned Hardware

o Longer backup and recovery


Scalability

Expansion Options Direct Attached Storage (DAS)

o Add to target server to increase backup space iSCSI Storage

o Add to environment with multiple backup repositories needing more space


Application-Aware Requirements

Need for Application-Aware Backup Software What It Means

o Knows how the app stores & accesses datao Can use built-in capabilitieso Knows when it’s safe to backup

If Noto Issues backing up & recovering data

Exampleso Active Directoryo SQL


Redundancy is Not Backup

Redundancy ≠ Backup RAID

o “Redundant Array of Independent Disks”

o Uses numerous methods to distribute data across drives for performance and protection needs

Just Know RAID is NOT BACKUP


Replication

Definitiono Making copies of data to multiple locations to

ensure consistency between redundant resources

o Improves reliability, fault-tolerance, and accessibility

Manual or Automatedo Automate through• OS• Application, e.g. databases• Replication software, e.g. Veeam


Snapshots

Definitiono The state of a system at a particular point in

time Used to preserve a specific time & state of data

stored on a device Built-in capability for some SANs

o Backup software, e.g. Veeam, can create backups from snapshots• More efficient than hypervisor’s capabilities


VT - Agentless Backup Software

Recommend Agentless Software for VT Agentless Benefits

o Spin up new VM & immediately begin backing up • No need to install & configure• No need to purchase another agent

o No need to install software on each VM


Recovery of Virtual Machines

Recovery of VMs is Tricky When you Backup a Snapshot of a

VMo Copies entire disk• Empty space & all

Disk Images = Large Binary Fileso Recovers entire system, not

individual file restores Offload Backup Task to Snapshot-

Aware SAN or NAS


Limited Budget Tip

Repurpose Older Gen Production Server Add New Primary Components

o As needed Set as Backup Target


WAN Acceleration

Appliance to Compress Data Site-to-Site or to Cloud Veeam

o Built-in WAN acceleration


Deduplication

Prevent Backing Up Redundant Data Definition

o Process of identifying duplicate copies of data Backup Software

o Only has to backup common files 1xo Saves space & time

General Purposeo Decrease network traffic & storage needs


Tape

The “Undead” in Backup

Slowo Can be faster than Cloud if internet is slow

Viable Option for Tight Budgets Important Tips

o Use newest tape technology you can affordo Prevent failure through cleaningo Test backup tapes


Real Life Example

Electrical Fire Severe Damage to Systems Backup Strategy = Hero

o Regularly scheduled backups

All Systems Restoredo Relied on rush build from
