About deploying NetVault

In a NetVault setup, one machine is configured as the NetVault Server and various other machines that you want to protect function as NetVault Clients. A single server and its associated clients form a NetVault Domain.

The following diagram depicts a NetVault deployment.

Figure 1. NetVault deployment overview

NetVault components

A NetVault deployment consists of the following components:

•
NetVault Server
•
NetVault Clients
•
NetVault plug-ins
•
NetVault WebUI
•
NetVault Command Line Interface
NetVault Server

The NetVault Server provides the core services for protecting your data.

The server provides services such as schedule management, job management, device management, media management, user management, notification management, and log management. The server administers backup and restore jobs for all assigned clients. Various types of physical and virtual storage devices can be locally attached to the server.

The NetVault Server can run on Windows and Linux operating systems.

NetVault Clients

The NetVault Client is installed on machines that you want to protect using the NetVault solution. These machines can be file servers, database servers, email servers, application servers, and workstations.

The NetVault Clients are assigned to a NetVault Server, which manages all data protection operations for the clients. A single server and its associated clients form a NetVault Domain. A NetVault SmartClient license is required to attach physical or virtual storage devices to a NetVault Client and Server.

The NetVault Client can run on Linux and Windows operating systems.

NetVault plug-ins

The NetVault Plug-ins are used to protect various applications and data stored on the server and client machines. There are two categories of NetVault plug-ins: built-in plug-ins and licensed plug-ins.

Built-in plug-ins

The built-in plug-ins are packaged with the NetVault software, and automatically installed on the respective machines when you install the NetVault Server and Client software.

NetVault offers the following types of built-in plug-ins:

•
NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem (Plug-in for FileSystem): The Plug-in for FileSystem protects critical file system data, and minimizes downtime by allowing you to restore full volumes, individual partitions, or individual directories and files quickly and reliably with minimal interaction.
•
NetVault Plug-in for Consolidation (Plug-in for Consolidation): The Plug-in for Consolidation lets you create a composite saveset by combining a Full Backup and its associated Incremental Backups. You can use this consolidated saveset as the base for subsequent Incremental Backups. The Plug-in for Consolidation does not back up data from a client; it just creates a composite set from existing savesets.
•
NetVault Plug-in for Data Copy (Plug-in for Data Copy): The Plug-in for Data Copy lets you create one or more copies of backups for off-site storage and disaster recovery purposes. The Plug-in for Data Copy does not back up data from a client; it just creates a copy of an existing backup.
•
NetVault Plug-in for Databases (Plug-in for Databases): The Plug-in for Databases protects system data (such as configuration files, system settings, backup indexes, backup media information, job schedule, licenses, and other data) stored in the NetVault Database. You can use this backup to recover a functional NetVault Server after a failure.
•
NetVault Plug-in for Raw Devices (Plug-in for Raw Devices): The Plug-in for Raw Devices protects data stored on physical disks. The plug-in lets you recover the Master Boot Record (MBR), system partitions, and individual user partitions from a point-and-click user interface without writing any complex scripts.
•
Quest NetVault Plug-in for Rapid Data Access (Plug-in for RDA): The Plug-in for RDA lets you use the client-side and inline deduplication capabilities that are available in other products, such as the Quest DR Series system of deduplication appliances and the software-defined Quest QoreStor storage devices (Linux only).
•
NetVault Plug-in for Encryption (Plug-in for Encryption): The Plug-in for Encryption lets you choose from three encryption algorithms — CAST-128, CAST-256, non FIPS compliant AES-256, and FIPS compliant AES-256 — to encrypt and transfer data across the network to the backup device, where the data remains encrypted until restored to the client.

For more information about built-in plug-ins, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem User’s Guide and Quest NetVault Built-in Plug-ins User’s Guide.

Licensed plug-ins

The licensed plug-ins are available as separate products, and installed on the NetVault Server and Client machines to protect specific applications and appliances.

NetVault offers the following types of licensed plug-ins:

•
Plug-ins for applications: These plug-ins provide data protection to business-critical applications, such as Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Domino, DB2, Informix, SAP, and Sybase.
•
Plug-ins for NDMP-based NAS appliances: These plug-ins enable NDMP-based backups and restores for appliances that support this protocol. NetVault also offers specialized plug-ins that integrate the NetApp SnapMirror, SnapVault, and Snapshot technologies to provide advanced data protection to NetApp appliances.
•
Plug-ins for virtual environments: These plug-ins provide data protection to virtual machines in VMware and Hyper-V environments.
•
Plug-ins for device integration: These plug-ins enable configuration of specialized tape libraries for use in a NetVault environment.
•
Plug-ins for bare metal recovery: These plug-ins let you recover an entire system, including the operating system, applications, system settings, partition information, and data on supported Windows and Linux operating systems.

NetVault also offers cluster-aware versions of various plug-ins that enable data protection for distributed data.

For more information about the licensed plug-ins, see the respective plug-in user’s guide.

NetVault WebUI

NetVault offers a web-based user interface, called the NetVault WebUI, to configure, manage, and monitor your NetVault system.

You can use the NetVault WebUI to perform various tasks such as the following:

•
Configure performance, security, and other options
•
Manage clients, storage devices, and storage media
•
Perform backups and restores
•
Monitor jobs, device activities, and logs
•
Set up notifications
•
Generate and view reports

You can access the NetVault WebUI from any standard browser. You can use the WebUI to remotely administer a NetVault Server from any system on which you can run a supported web browser and connect to the server over HTTP or HTTPS.

NetVault Command Line Interface

NetVault also provides a Command Line Interface that allows you to configure and manage a NetVault system from a command prompt window or terminal window.

You can use the NetVault CLI utilities to perform various tasks such as the following:

•
Start and stop the NetVault Service
•
Configure performance, security, and other options
•
Manage clients, storage devices, and storage media
•
Perform backups and restores
•
Generate and view reports

The NetVault command-line utilities can be accessed from the NetVault Server and Client machines. For more information about the command-line interface, see the Quest NetVault Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
