Use cases for long-term data retention

The following are the use cases for long-term data retention (LTR) using Veritas Access:

Use Case: Veritas Access with Veritas Data Deduplication

  • Veritas Data Deduplication technology is installed on top of Veritas Access and integrates with NetBackup. It catalogs and organizes incoming deduplicated backup data and stores it on Veritas Access storage.

  • Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server

  • The same deduplicated data is sent to Veritas Access for long term retention purpose using SLPs through duplication jobs.

See Configuring a Veritas Data Deduplication storage unit on NetBackup.

Use Case: Veritas Access with CloudCatalyst

  • Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server.

  • The same deduplicated data is moved to Veritas Access through SLP using CloudCatalyst.

See Configure Veritas Access as a cloud storage server on NetBackup server using CloudCatalyst.

Use Case: Veritas Access as an S3 connector

  • Backup data is stored in non-deduplicated format on the NetBackup server as primary backup. The same primary backup data is moved to Veritas Access through SLP over the Veritas Access S3 protocol.

Or

  • Primary backup data is deduplicated by MSDP and stored on the NetBackup server. The deduplicated data is rehydrated and then moved to Veritas Access through SLP over the Veritas Access S3 protocol.

See Creating an S3 bucket on Veritas Access for storing deduplicated backup data from NetBackup.
