THE CONCEPT
Data de duplication is a technology that examines data for redundancy, storing only unique data "chunks" to disk.
4
Data De-duplication
In this picture, think of each shape as a chunk of data. De-duplication would find unique shapes i.e. unique chunk of data and store it ONLY once on disk, thus introducing lots of savings in disk space.
![Page 5: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

THE CONCEPT
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
D1 D2 D3 D4 D1 D3.ref file .ref file
This is the first backup image.Redundancies can be found within this first backup image. Ex – C4 and C5 are same and hence are pointing to the data chunk D4 on disk.
Data De-duplication
This is the second backup image.A lot of redundancies were found and hence only 2 data chunks were written in this backup. Most of the chunks in the current backup image “POINT” to previous backups

![Page 8: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION
REDUCED DISK SPACE
Almost 90% of the data in weekly backups remain the same as previous weeks backup.
Data de-duplication will eliminate those redundancies and reduce the size of backup image on disk.
For ex – Assume that you were backing up 5 TB to disk and copying data to tape, and you were retaining the data on disk for 3 weeks. This would mean that you would need at least 15 TB of disk space
De-duplication would require just about 5-6 TB of disk space. The savings would be more visible when you want more backup images on site.

Data De-duplication
![Page 9: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION
FASTER BUSINESS RECOVERY TIMES
Because of the reduction in disk space for each backup image, more backup versions could be maintained on site. So instead of 2 weeks, you could retain backup images for almost 12 weeks onsite.
Hence when restores have to be done from any of the backup images within the last 12 weeks, you don’t have to wait for the tapes to come from offsite. Instead you could do the restores right off the DDD media onsite.

Data De-duplication
![Page 10: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION
GREEN TECHNOLOGY
More disks means more spindles being powered which in turn means more power consumption.
De-duplication reduces the disk space requirements and hence also reduces the power requirements.

Data De-duplication
![Page 11: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION
CHEAPER THAN TAPES AND TAPE LIBRARIES
If, in your environment, you don’t have the requirement to store data on tapes you could replace your tape infrastructure with backups to DDD.
If, in your environment, using backups to de dupe you could get away with copying just the monthly data to tapes, this reduces your tape library size requirements.

Data De-duplication
![Page 12: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA DE-DUPLICATION
1. De-duplication at Backup Server
2. De-duplication at production Server
3. De-duplication at block level
4. De-duplication at file level
5. De-Duplication at block level and optimized, where possible, at file level
6. Inline De-duplication
7. Post process De-duplication
8. Inline and post process de-duplication

BLOCK LEVEL DE-duplication
BLOCK level de dupe is smart enough to detect the changes that happened and write ONLY data around the changes.

Optimization in de dupe is useful for backups of Windows file system.ARCserve de dupe engine will NOT do costly de dupe processing for data belonging to files which did not change.
This reduces the CPU utilization and also reduces the backup window.
This is enabled, by default.

Delayed Disk reclamation – When ARCserve sessions have to be deleted, it would reduce the reference count of the corresponding chunks of data. When the reference count of a chunk becomes zero, that much amount of disk space is ready to reclaimed. But if those small chunks are reclaimed right away, the volume could get fragmented.Choosing Delayed Reclamation will cause the data to be reclaimed ONLY when multiple such chunks could be reclaimed.Using this approach the volume would be less fragmented.

ARCserve Media Assure
This is a policy driven job which picks up ARCserve sessions randomly from any ARCserve media (including DDD) and scans ARCserve sessions on the media.
It scans all the metadata and data that is present in an ARCserve session on the media.
45
![Page 46: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
ARCserve Media Assure
A successful scan of ARCserve session assures that the data is restorable.
It automatically validates the backup images in the background. This reduces the inertia to adopt new technologies like de-duplication or even continue to use older technologies like Multiplexing
Having such a policy based feature gives a “peace of mind” to backup administrators.

ARCserve Media Assure
The policy allows you to -
1. Specify the number of days from which the sessions should be randomly picked.
2. Specify no more than X% or an absolute number of sessions from the media.
3. Specify comma separated node names whose sessions need to be scanned. Thus for ex - you could specify ONLY the top tier nodes.

VIRTUALIZATION
Virtualization is available from multiple vendors like
• VMware
• Microsoft
• Xen
![Page 55: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
VIRTUALIZATION
• There rate of virtualization of servers continues to increase.
• CA, as a corporation, has a very big focus on virtualization.
• Our Business Unit has a huge emphasis on virtualization as will be evident from the innovation that has been introduced in ARCserve R12.5 virtualization enhancements.

MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
![Page 57: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
Just like any other entity in an enterprise, a virtual machine has to be
• Managed
• Protected (Backed up)
Our focus in today’s discussion will be primarily on protecting Virtual machines
![Page 58: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
A virtual machine can be backed up in many different ways
• Install Agent inside a Virtual Machine
• Install Agent on the Physical machine and backup all the VMs as files
• Do a server less backup. For ex – VCB backups in VMware environments
Each of the above has its own advantages and disadvantages
![Page 59: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
Install Agent inside a Virtual Machine
ADVANTAGES:• Everybody knows how to do this. A lot of environments continue to backup VMs using this
approach because everyone understands this and is simple.
• If you have applications inside a VM and want to do the conventional full and log backups, this is a simple approach to do your backups
DISADVATANGES:• Virtual Machines are already taxed because of them being virtual. Backups from within a
VM increases COU utilization, n/w utilization and could impact the performance of that VM and possibly other VMs which are running on the same physical machine.
• This might not reduce backup window
![Page 60: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
Install Agent inside Physical Machine
ADVANTAGES:• The agent on physical machine will backup the files belonging to the VMs
• This is also a simple approach and doesn’t need for anyone to understand any new technologies.
• This is a the best approach to backup Hyper V VMs from a Hyper V physical machine.
DISADVATANGES:• ESX 3i doesn’t have a console and hence this approach won’t be possible
• Some admins are reluctant to install anything on an ESX server for whatever reason
• The backups from the physical machine will utilize CPU, n/w, disk and hence might impact the performance of VMs that are running on that physical machine.
![Page 61: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
Serverless backup – backup using a Proxy agent
Before we explain advantages and disadvantages, let’s see how this technology works. Currently this is possible ONLY in VMware environments using VCB technology.
![Page 62: CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 Overview. CA ARCserve Backup r12.5 >Complete VM protection Granular recovery from image backup Support for VMware, Microsoft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ec55503460f94bcff98/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO BACKUP VIRTUAL MACHINES
ESX SERVER
VM1
VM2
VM3
VM4
SAN DISK
VCBPROXY SERVER
CA ARCserve VM AGENTAll the VMs on
the ESX server has its data
stored on a SAN storage
CA ARCserve Backup Server
ARCserve VM agent uses VCB technology to take a snapshot of VM and read the VM files
from SAN disk
ARCserve reads data from VM agent. Thus
this scheme of backup never impacts the VMs
or the ESX server

Which Nodes can NOT be recovered from Disaster
Recovery?
104
For a lot of Nodes, DR information is NOT being
generated. Modifying the job to allow
backing up DR information and having a valid DR license would
solve the problem.

How does backups to tape or disk compare with backups to de dupe device? What are my disk
savings if I backup to de dupe device and increase the retention to 12 weeks?
108
ARCserve scans the environment to find out the total FULL backup size of all the nodes and comes up with the
following comparison.It allows you to change the retention
time and visualize the disk space savings.

The need for User Profiles and Auditing
> In r12, all ARCserve users are Administrators. All users can do everything. Example- John can
update/modify/delete Jack’s job.
> User operations in ARCserve do not have a audit log. Administrator cannot figure out who did what. E.g. Which user deleted this specific job ?
> Lack of fine grained access control and multi-user tracking.

Password Management
> What is Password Management? ARCserve Backup can save session passwords into
ARCserve Database during backups.
The saved session passwords can be used by ARCserve Backup automatically for restores, scan, merge and compare operations.
So, ARCserve User can shift the burden of remembering all session passwords to ARCserve Backup

Password Management
> Session Password Expiration Period Users may have a password changing policy that requires
all passwords to be periodically changed. This is a good security practice.
ARCserve Backup can be configured to show a reminder to the change the password after a specified period of time.
This functionality works for all Backup Jobs. User can enable it while configuring backup jobs.
> Export/Import of session passwords User can also export the session passwords periodically for
Escrow purposes and Disaster recovery scenarios.
