Symantec NetBackup & ADESA
Presenter: Phillip Weingart
Back in the day… Founded in 1991 45 Remote sites In 2006…
NetBackup 5.1 MP4 L700 with 8 LTO1 drives Backed up 25TB a week 1 Master/Media server 200 servers in backup rotation Over 250 NetBackup policies
Today… 62 remote sites Sept 2009…
NetBackup 6.5.3.1 L700 with 9 LTO2 drives Backing up 110TB every two weeks 1 dedicated master and 4 media servers Two datacenters Today 425 servers in the backup rotation
Challenges…
Backup up remote sites One server per site Data ranges from 40GB to 150GB 6 to 9 MB pipe to each site
VMware backups Arrived and implemented Backed up at file level with NetBackup
NetBackup Policy Over abundance of policies
NAS Backups Large NFS environment
Infinity retention Legal wanted ALL backups held for infinity, late 2006 Catalog grow from 90GB to 1.2TB (online & archived)
Solutions…
Backup up remote sites Source based deduplication Backups went from days to hours Restore remote sites backups to VMware for DR and long
term retention VMware backups
Implemented NetBackup/VCB on dev/test/stage NetBackup Policy
Learned environment Reduced and consolidated policies
NAS Backups License & configure NDMP
Infinity retention Worked with Directors to allow 30 day retention on
dev/test/stage Worked with Directors to set standard retention on all DB
backups Working on more realistic retention on production
Current Projects… Bidirectional backups and DR all in one
Production datacenter 37.5TB per week Dev/Test/Stage datacenter 17.5TB per week All duplication done at dev/test/stage
datacenter
Other Projects… VCB/NetBackup in production datacenter
165 Production VMware Servers Simplify Environment
Reduce devices Disk
Migrating Master server to new hardware/OS Moving to dedicated master
NetBackup over the years…The good…
GUI based Vault Calendar scheduling Synthetic Full Open Storage EMM Database NetBackup Operations Manager NDMP
The bad… Move the Cancel All Jobs Java connect to each host when you look under ‘Host
Properties | Clients’ Synthetic status code 671
Other ways NetBackup has helped ADESA…
Servers blocking connections due to over abundance of processes
Applications team installing unlicensed software
Bad routers at remote sites
Improper port settings
Crashed servers
Firewall issues
What I would like to see in the future…
Scheduler..every time we upgrade more issues come
NDMP to disk
Better interface
