5 Ways Your Backup Design Can Impact Virtualized Data Protection
Virtualization specific backup applications, like Veeam, are the fastest growing segment of the data protection market, and for good reason. They promise to provide better, faster and more accurate data protection, while almost eliminating application recovery times. But the challenge is, your backup architecture can actually render many of the value-added features of VM specific backup applications totally useless. In this webinar, join Storage Switzerland's founder George Crump and ExaGrid's Kevin Russell, VP of North America Systems Engineers, for an interactive discussion of what these challenges are and more importantly how to solve them.

Polling Question
"What Do You Wish Your Virtualized Backup Would Do Better?"

B) Require Fewer or Zero Full Backups
C) Faster Recoveries To Original Host
D) Better "Recovery in Place" Performance
E) Better Reporting of DR Status via Replication
Polling Question
"What Do You Wish Your Virtualized Backup Would Do Better?"
The State of Virtual Backup
• Software has improved significantly over the past three years
• New features could enable the cost effective achievement of very high SLA capabilities
• But…hardware has largely remained status quo and has been leap frogged by software
Design Challenge #1 VM Backup Changed the State of Backups
Design Challenge #1 VM Backup Changed the State of Backups
● Full Backups Remain A Challenge
Deduplication and compression does not help on initial full backups
● The Change Block Backup Challenge
Small but varied I/O now bombard the backup target
● The Consolidated Full Challenge
Creating a off-host full is more time consuming than simply copying the data over the wire a second time
Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Changed Block Backup Challenge
Legacy: Once a night sequential data copy
Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Changed Block Backup Challenge
Now: protection several times a day, incremental update

Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Consolidated Full Challenge
Legacy: Backup was a bunch of 1’s and 0’s
Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Consolidated Full Challenge
Now is multiple versions of VM’s that need to be reconstituted in to a new full backup
Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Consolidated Full Challenge
Virtualization Has Changed BackupsThe Consolidated Solution
Consolidation on the backup appliance, no network hops
Design Challenge #2 VM Backup Changed Disaster Recovery
● The VM Backup App and the Backup Appliance can replicate off-site
Having the software do the replication consumes backup and DR target server resources
Having the appliance do the replication means that the backup software has no awareness of the replica copy

Design Challenge #3 VM Backup Changed Recovery
● Full Restore Challenge
Deduplication and Multiple hops can impact full recovery when moving data across the network
● The Tape Copy Challenge
VM specific backup apps are adding the ability to create tape. Deduplication can impact that process and can add multiple hops across the network
● Recovery In Place
Changes the Relationship we have with the backup appliance – It can potentially be production storage
