Adding a Quest DR Series system as an NFS repository

Adding a Quest DR Series system as an NFS repository

To add a Quest DR Series system as an NFS repository:
1
In the My Repositories pane, right-click anywhere, and click Add > NFS.
2
In the Add Network File Share Repository dialog box, complete the following fields:
Repository Name: Enter a descriptive name for the repository.
Description: [Optional] Enter a long-form description for the repository.
DNS Name or IP: Enter the IP or FQDN for the repository.
Export Directory: Specify the export directory, which is similar in concept to a network share. You must create a target subdirectory in the export directory.
Target Directory: Enter a subdirectory of the NFS export directory. This directory is the location to which savepoints are written.
IMPORTANT: Do not select Encrypt all backups to this repository. Using encryption or compression with deduplicated repositories limits or disables deduplication. Encryption and compression should not be used with any repository type that provides deduplication.
3

The connection to the repository is tested and the repository is added to the My Repositories pane and the Repository Information dialog box.

vRanger checks the configured repository location for existing manifest data to identify existing savepoints.

Import as Read-Only: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, but only for restores, click this button. You cannot back up data to this repository.
Import: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, click this button. vRanger is able to use the repository for backups and restores. vRanger requires read and write access to the directory.
Overwrite: To retain the savepoint data on the disk and not import it into vRanger, click this button. vRanger ignores the existence of the existing savepoint data and treats the repository as new.

 

Maintaining your DR Series appliance

IMPORTANT: The procedures for maintaining the Quest DR Series are covered in the Quest DR Series System Administrator Guide. The information provided in the following topic is a summary of common maintenance tasks.

Setting up the DR Series Cleaner

Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering disk space from system containers in which files were deleted as a result of deduplication. The best method is to schedule a time when you can run the Cleaner on your DR Series system with no other planned processes running. Alternately, another method lets the Cleaner process on the DR Series system run whenever it determines that there are no active data ingests.

To schedule Cleaner operations on your system:
1
Select Schedules > Cleaner Schedule.
2
Click Schedule to create a schedule, or click Edit Schedule to modify an existing schedule.
3
Select or modify the Start Time and Stop Time setpoint values using the Hour and Minutes drop-down lists to create a Cleaner schedule.
4
Click Set Schedule for the system to accept your Cleaner schedule, or click Cancel to display the Cleaner Schedule page.

The current Cleaner Status is represented on the Dashboard page in the System Information pane as one of the three following states:

Pending: Displayed when there is any scheduled window set and the current time is outside the scheduled window for the Cleaner operation.
Running: Displayed when the Cleaner operation is running during a scheduled window.
Idle: Displayed only if there is no Cleaner operation running during a scheduled window.

Quest recommends that you do not schedule the running of any Cleaner operations during the same time period when replication or ingest operations are running. Failure to follow this practice affects the time required to complete the system operations and impacts your DR Series system performance.
