Backing Up Data on the RDS Container Using NetVault Backup

Backing Up Data on the RDS Container Using NetVault Backup

You must back up data on the RDS container (available on the DR Series systems) using NetVault Backup. Before you can back up data using the RDS protocol, you must create an RDS container on the DR Series system and then add that container as an RDA device on NetVault Backup. For more information see, Adding RDS Devices in NVBU.

To back up data on the RDS container:

Start the NetVault Web user interface (UI), and in the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job.
2.
In Job Name, type a name for the job. Assign a descriptive name that allows you to easily identify the job for monitoring its progress or restoring data. A job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
3.
In the Selections list, select an existing Backup Selection Set, or click Create New, and select the items that you want to back up. The selection tree is plug-in specific. For more information about selecting data for backups, see the relevant NetVault Backup plug-in user's guide.
4.
In the Plugin Options list, select an existing Backup Options Set, or click Create New, and configure the options that you want to use. These options are plug-in specific. For more information about these options, see the relevant NetVault Backup plug-in user's guide.
5.
In the Schedule list, select an existing Schedule Set, or click Create New, and configure the schedule type and schedule method. For more information about these options, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide. To run the job as soon as it is submitted, use the "Immediate" set.
6.
In the Target Storage list, select an existing Target Set, or click Create New, and configure the target device and media options for the job.
To use a particular DR Series System, select the Specify Device option, and in the list of devices, clear the check marks for the devices that you do not want to use.
For more information about these options, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide..
7.
In the Advanced Options list, select an existing Backup Advanced Options Set, or click Create New, and configure the options that you want to use.
For more information about these options, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide.
8.
To submit the job for scheduling, click Save & Submit.

The backup job may take a few minutes to complete depending on the amount of data that is backed up. You can view the progress of the backup job by using the Job Management section of NetVault Backup. For more information about using NetVault Backup, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide.

Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

By using NetVault Backup with the DR Series system, you can run optimized replication jobs. You can replicate data in backup RDS containers on one DR Series system to a target RDS container that is on a different DR Series system. Both the source and target RDS containers must be added to the NetVault Backup server as RDA devices. You can complete optimized replication (or optimized duplication) of backups that you complete using NetVault Backup.

NOTE: You cannot replicate RDS containers using the DR Series system native replication feature.
 
NOTE: The source or backup container and the target container must use the RDS protocol.

To replicate the data available on the backup RDS container to a target RDS container:

1.
In the NetVault Backup Console, click Backup.
The NetVault Backup window is displayed.
2.
From the Server Location list, select the relevant NetVault Backup server.
3.
In Job Title, enter a relevant job title.
4.
In the Selections tab, select Data Copy and then Backups or Backup Sets, and navigate to the backup job that you want to replicate.
5.
Select the Backup Options tab, under Data Copy Options select the relevant options.
 
NOTE: Under Copy Type, by default, options are set for Copy and Optimized replication for the DR Series systems.
6.
Select the Schedule tab, under Schedule Options select one of the following:
◦
Immediate — To start the backup operation as soon as you save the current backup job.
◦
Once — To run the backup only once at a scheduled time and date.
◦
Repeating — To run the backup at a scheduled time and date on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
◦
Triggered — To run the backup if the system encounters a pre-specified Trigger name.
7.
Under Job Options select the relevant options.
8.
Select the Source tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device.
The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
9.
Select the relevant source RDS device from the list of displayed devices.
You can select more than one device.
10.
Select the Target tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device.
The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
11.
Select the relevant target RDS device from the list of displayed devices.
You can select more than one device.
12.
Under Media Options and General Options, select the relevant option.
13.
Select the Advanced Options tab and select the relevant options.
14.
To run the optimized replication job, click the Submit icon.
