Use cases

There are two primary groups of protection options for use with the NetVault Backup products and the Dell FluidFS NAS architecture:

•
The first option is to use NetVault Backup as a configuration item providing services for data protection operations. This option lets you implement a simple method for data protection and recovery scenarios. You can store data on a disk-based target, such as the DR4000 Series appliance or a traditional tape library.
•
The second option lets you use NetVault Backup as a configuration item that provides services for data‑protection operations that complement NAS server replication. This option lets you implement a simple method for data protection and recovery scenarios, while providing extra availability options. As with the first option, you can store data on a disk-based target, such as the DR4000 Series appliance, or a traditional tape library.

The following list provides examples of these two protection options:

•
Backing up one or more NAS Containers
•
Backing up NAS Containers from multiple Dell NAS clusters
•
Backing up Replica Containers
•
Restoring backups to a different NAS Container
•
Restoring or relocating (or both) backups to a different Dell NAS cluster
•
Restoring backups from a Replica Container
•
Include or exclude certain paths for NDMP backup and restore operations
