Title
Backing up to Amazon AWS with NetVault Backup -
Description
This document describes how to implement cloud data protection using NetVault Backup and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Gateway-Virtual Tape Library (Gateway-VTL).Using the Amazon Gateway-VTL in conjunction with NetVault Backup enables seamless data protection of on-premise data to the cloud
-
Cause
The Amazon Gateway-VTLThe Gateway-VTL is an on-premise disk cache that provides a low-cost, scalable and resilient virtual tape infrastructure. This VTL combines the functionality of a traditional tape library with the low-cost, off-site disk available in Amazon S3 and Glacier. Frequently accessed data is stored locally on the Gateway-VTL and on S3 to provide simple offsite disaster recovery.
As data ages and access demands decline, data is moved from S3 to the Virtual Tape Shelf, which is backed by Glacier. Here data can reside for long periods of time for as little as $0.010 per GB/month.
The Gateway-VTL is a virtual machine that is deployed locally on either a VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V server. The virtual machine is then configured with virtual disk space that is used as local cache and an upload buffer, allowing for fast access to active data and resilient uploads to the cloud. -
