Polling Question

As A Service

What are you currently using for backup today?

• Tape has two speeds: stop & very fast

• Tape can only go one speed at a time

• Techniques to increase backup slow down restore

First, Why Not Tape?

• Disk can go any speed

• Disk can go several speeds simultaneously

• Slow backup doesn’t = slow restores

• FC/iSCSI-connected ATA/SATA disk

Why Disk?

• Backup software made a lot of duplicate data

• Disk without dedupe was very expensive

• Random access disk allows deletion of dupes

• Dedupe made disk possible (for all backups)

• Disk made dedupe possible (random access)

• Dedupe made replication of all backups possible

Why Deduped Disk (AKA Target Dedupe)?

• Expensive process, financially & technically

• Dedupe tax to CFO

• Dedupe tax paid twice if replicating

• Dedupe tax to restores

• Still quite expensive

Why NOT Dedupe Disk?

• Maybe not

• Backup has come a long way

• A lot of the duplications have been eliminated

• Block-level incremental backups

• Forever incremental backups

• Object storage is much cheaper than regular disk

But Don’t We Need Dedupe?

• Target dedupe helpful but expensive

• Target dedupe not as important as before

• The point was cost, there is now another way

• Less redundant data in today’s backups

• Object storage on commodity hardware is cheaper

• Built-in multi-site data protection

Source Dedupe Backups

• Disk is a great target for backup

• Target dedupe was a stopgap

• Deduping at source offers more options

• Object storage offers a very compelling choice to a dedupe appliance

• Best for products that are reducing dupes at the source
