This topic introduces the RDA with OST plug-in and describes the installation prerequisites for Backup Exec within a Microsoft Windows environment. After it is installed, Backup Exec can perform DR Series system operations via the plug-in.

RDA with OST Plug-In and Supported Versions

For details on the supported Backup Exec versions and media server operating systems, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide, available at support.quest.com/dr-series.

Installation Prerequisites for the RDA with OST Plug-in for Backup Exec

This topic introduces the installation prerequisites for installing the plug-in for Backup Exec on Windows media servers. Ensure that you meet the following prerequisites prior to installing the plug-in:
•
The Backup Exec installation must be running on one of the supported Windows platforms.
•
You should have created and configured an OST container on your DR Series system appliance.
•
The RDA with OST plug-in must be downloaded. If not, download the Windows installer (QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx.msi or QuestOSTPlugin64-xxxxx.msi), which is available at support.quest.com/dr-series, to a network directory location you can access.
•
The plug-in needs to installed in the following directory on the designated Windows-based media server running the supported Microsoft Windows operating system software ($INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins) for NetBackup installations.

Configuring the DR Series system with the Backup Exec GUI

Backup Exec only supports the use of its own graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring the DR Series system. There is no supported Backup Exec command-line interface (CLI) for using Backup Exec 2010 version.

To configure the DR Series system using the Backup Exec GUI, complete the following steps:

1.
Launch the Backup Exec Administrator console, select Tools, and Backup Exec Services....
2.
Select the server that you want to configure in the Backup Exec Services Manager page, and select Start all services.
3.
Verify that all services have been started, and click OK.
4.
In the Connect to Media Server page, log into the media server, and enter a User name, a Password, and click OK.
5.
In the Backup Exec Administrator page, click Network, and click Logon Accounts.
The Logon Account Management page is displayed.
6.
Click New to create a new logon account.
The Add Logon Credentials page is displayed.
7.
In the Account Credentials pane, enter the User name and Password account credentials for the DR Series system, and click OK (for example, the default user name is backup_user).
8.
In the Backup Exec Administrator page, click the Devices tab, and right-click on the local system name that is listed as the root node.
A drop-down list of device-related options is displayed.
9.
Select Add OpenStorage in the drop-down list.
The Add OpenStorage Device page is displayed.
10.
Configure the Add OpenStorage Device page with the following information, and click OK:
◦
Server—enter the host name or IP address of the DR Series system.
◦
Logon account—select the account from the drop-down list, which has credentials for accessing the DR Series system.
◦
Server type—select the type of plug-in from the drop-down list (QUEST OST plug-in).
◦
Logical storage unit—enter the LSU (DR Series system container) name to use.
11.
Click Yes in response to the prompt about making the new device the default destination for new jobs.
12.
Close the Add OpenStorage Device page.
The Restart Services confirmation dialog is displayed (this dialog recommends against restarting the services if any jobs are currently running).
13.
Click Restart Now to restart the Backup Exec services.

Creating backups on the DR Series system using Backup Exec

This topic describes how to use Backup Exec to create backups on the DR Series system.

To create backups on the DR Series system using Backup Exec, complete the following steps:

* 
NOTE: This procedure documents this process using Backup Exec 2010. The procedure for Backup Exec 2012 is different. For specific details and procedures, see the product-specific documentation from Veritas for the specific DMA product and version you are using.
1.
Launch the Backup Exec Administrator console, and select the Job Setup tab.
2.
Click Backup Tasks in the left navigation panel, and select New job.
The Backup Job Properties page is displayed.
3.
In the left navigation pane of the Backup Job Properties page, select Source, and select Selections.
The Selections page is displayed.
4.
Select the system or node name in the center pane of the Selections page, and click the check boxes that correspond to the files you want backed up.
5.
In the left navigation pane of the Backup Job Properties page, select Destination, and select Device and Media.
The Device and Media page is displayed.
6.
In the Device pane in the Device and Media page, select the OST device in the drop-down list, and click Run Now to start the backup job.
7.
Click the Job Monitor tab to view the progress of the backup job you created.

Optimizing duplication between DR Series systems using Backup Exec

Backup Exec can replicate backups between two DR Series systems that are part of a defined source and target replication pair. This process uses the deduplication and replication features of the DR Series system via RDA with OST.

Using RDA with OST, backed up data is catalogued which makes it available from the designated media server so that a seamless restore can be performed from either the target or source DR Series system. This is considered an integrated replication, where the appliance does the replication. It is considered to be “optimized” because the data flows from the local appliance directly to the remote appliance in a deduplicated format, and it does not travel through the media server.

When the data is in a deduplicated format (in an optimized form), only new or unique data is copied between the two DR Series systems. Because the duplication job is initiated by Backup Exec, there are two entries in its catalog: one entry is for the source file, while the other entry is for the target file. The backup administrator can restore backup data from either appliance in case of data loss or disaster.

To optimize duplication between DR Series systems, create an additional OST device that points to the target DR Series system, and complete the following steps:

1.
Launch the Backup Exec Administrator console, select the Devices tab, and right-click the target DR Series system.
2.
Select Add OpenStorage in the drop-down list.
The Add OpenStorage Device page is displayed
3.
Configure the Add OpenStorage Device page with the following information:
◦
Server—enter the host name or IP address of the DR Series system.
◦
Logon account—select the account from the drop-down list (or click ... and browse to the account location), which has credentials for accessing the DR Series system.
◦
Server type—select the type of server from the drop-down list (DELL or QUEST).
◦
Logical storage unit—enter the name of the logical storage unit (LSU), also known as a DR Series system container, to use.
4.
Click Yes in response to the prompt if you want to make the new device the default destination for new jobs.
5.
Close the Add OpenStorage Device page.
6.
Click the Job Setup tab.
7.
In the left navigation pane, select Backup Tasks, and click New job to duplicate backup sets.
The New Job to Duplicate Backup Sets page is displayed.
8.
Select Duplicate existing backup sets, and click OK.
9.
Click the View by Resource tab in the Selections page, and select the dataset you want copied.
10.
In the left navigation pane, select Destination, and select Device and Media.
11.
In Device, select the destination device from the drop-down list (that was created in this procedure), and click Run Now to start the replication operation between the two DR Series systems.
12.
Click the Job Monitor tab to view the progress of the replication operation you created.
