About NetVault SmartDisk

NetVault SmartDisk provides disk-based storage with optional data deduplication capability.

NetVault SmartDisk uses byte-level, variable block-based software deduplication, which packs up to 12 times more data into the same storage area for a 92 percent reduction in storage footprint. NetVault SmartDisk is installed and licensed separately from NetVault Backup.

A NetVault SmartDisk instance consists of one or more Storage Pools and a set of processes that perform backup and deduplication operations. A Storage Pool consists of one or more file system volumes, which can be easily extended by adding more file system paths. An instance can accept data streams from heterogeneous platforms.

You can install a NetVault SmartDisk instance that has deduplication enabled (the default mode) on a dedicated NetVault SmartDisk Server or a NetVault Backup Client. (If deduplication is enabled, you cannot install NetVault SmartDisk on the NetVault Backup Server.) If deduplication is disabled, you can also select the NetVault Backup Server as the host machine.

For more information about installing and configuring NetVault SmartDisk, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Installation Guide and Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator's Guide.

Adding a NetVault SmartDisk

To use a NetVault SmartDisk for backups and restores, you must first add the device to the NetVault Backup Server. You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure this device.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the NetVault SmartDisk option, and click Next.
3
On the Add NetVault SmartDisk Instance page, provide the following details.

Network name/IP address

Type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the host on which NetVault SmartDisk is installed. You must provide this information even if the device is deployed on the NetVault Backup Server.

If the server is unable to resolve the host name, it fails to add the device.

Network port

The default value for this setting is zero (0). If the device is listening on the default port, do not change this value.

If the device is listening on a non-default port, type the port number configured as the Network Settings:Remote Listen Port in the percolator.cfg file. For more information about configuring a non-default port for a NetVault SmartDisk, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator’s Guide.

Force Add

If the device is already added to another NetVault Backup Server with the same name, select the Force Add check box. This option can be useful if you have performed a disaster recovery to rebuild the NetVault Backup Server.

Configure WebDAV credentials

To prevent unauthorized access to data, you can set up WebDAV authentication for server requests on NetVault SmartDisk. NetVault SmartDisk uses Digest Access Authentication with WebDAV. For more information about setting up authentication on the NetVault SmartDisk Server, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator’s Guide.

If WebDAV authentication is enabled on the NetVault SmartDisk, select this check box, and provide the following information:

Username: Specify the user account configured on the NetVault SmartDisk Server.
Password: Type the password for the user account.
Confirm Password: Type the password again for confirmation.
4
Click Next to add the device.

Migrating savesets and backup jobs from NetVault SmartDisk to QoreStor

Use the migration feature to move savesets and backup jobs from NetVault SmartDisk device to QoreStor. As part of migration, all saved and scheduled backup jobs are redirected from the targeted NetVault SmartDisk device to the targeted QoreStor device. This process is completed before the data from existing backups is migrated.

The Expire All function is automatically disabled during the migration process. However, it is not disabled on the new target.
