• Increase flexibility with a single interface that can be run from a Windows, Unix, Linux, or Mac Server
• Ensure availability of critical applications and databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint and Domino
• Reduce the time it takes to recover a failed server with bare metal recovery
• Improve storage efficiency with disk-based data backup and deduplication

Features

Virtualization Support – Extend advanced data protection to VMware and Hyper-V environments. A NetVault Backup plug-in gives you consistent, reliable, point-and-click backup and restore for virtual environments without requiring you to be an expert.

Application Protection – Ensure availability of business-critical applications such as Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Domino, Informix and Sybase with application plug-ins. These plug-ins complement native solutions to save you time on integration – no scripting is required to run backup and recovery jobs.

NDMP Support – The NetVault Backup Plug-in for NDMP is an advanced data protection solution for information stored in Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices running NDMP. It maximizes data transfer over the network while maintaining centralized backup administration, providing fast, online data backup. It also provides efficient data recovery options regardless of the NDMP network configuration model in use.

Enterprise-Wide Control – Give backup administrators the flexibility to define, manage and monitor jobs from remote locations of their choice. NetVault Backup’s automated features for global event notification and policy-based job management simplify their tasks across heterogeneous storage networks.

Strong Security – Meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing backup windows or deduplication performance with an encryption plug-in for CAST-128, AES-256 or CAST-256 algorithm support. Flexible job-level encryption lets you easily select which data to encrypt.

Flexible Storage Attachment – Attach storage wherever you like with the built-in NetVault Backup SmartClient. It allows you to easily distribute both real and virtual backup target workloads throughout the backup domain.

Dynamically Shared Device – Share stand-alone and library-based tape drives among backup servers and SmartClients in SAN or shared-SCSI environments. This allows you to optimize workloads and maximize your equipment investments.

LAN-Free Backups – Create a LAN-free backup environment to support writing backup data directly to locally and SAN-attached storage devices. This keeps backup traffic away from the LAN and eliminates network bandwidth constraints.
