VMware Backup & Recovery

NetBackup & VMware Introduction


Key Features NetBackup for VMware provides modern protection of virtualized data centers, including scalable backup features and global deduplication capabilities.

VMware Integration Modern, integrated protection of VMware data centers

Performance Features designed for aggressive backup windows

Storage Optimization Deduplication support for all VMware backup streams

Key Features

Instant Recovery

Accelerator for VMware

VMware API Integration

VADP

VMware VADP Backup Flow


Advanced Integration with VMware VADP APIs

• Online, consistent protection of Windows and Linux virtual machines

• Flexible transport mode options, including SAN transport for high-speed backups

• Highly configurable resource limits help avoid backup bottlenecks

VADP transport modes

VADP Backup Stream

VMware VADP Backup Diagram

Which Transport Mode To Use?

• NBD Transport – Easiest and most commonly used

– Need to understand performance implications (VMkernel QoS)

– VMware’s VVOL may mandate this

• SAN Transport (Fibre and iSCSI) – Lowest impact on ESXi

– Typically used on more important VM’s

– Explicit access to SAN & Datastore required

• HotAdd – All backup processing load placed on ESXi hosts

– Additional HotAdd VM’s to install, maintain

– ESXi hosting HotAdd VM must have direct access to Datastores

– Makes sense in certain environments – e.g. remote office


VADP Snapshot Process & Redo Log Process

1. Backup initiated

2. VADP creates snapshot of VM

3. VMware redo log created. All writes sent to redo during backup

4. Backup processed

5. Backup finished

6. Lock Released

7. Redo consolidated

Important to understand how redo impacts backup….

REDO LOG

VMDK


Understanding Redo Logs

• Redo logs are necessary – Capture changes to active VM’s during backups

• Large redo logs are bad

• Larger redo logs are even badder

• Slower backups = redo logs become larger – More data change captured during longer backup

• Larger redo = requires more temp storage – VM admin is mad

– Storage admin is mad

• Larger Redo = more I/O load – Consolidation process

• More I/O = Less reliable backups REDO LOG


NetBackup VIP Resource Limits

• Set ESXi & Datastore Resource limits to 1 or 2

• Balance backups across ESXi hosts

• Minimize load on each ESXi host

• Maximize throughput to NetBackup media server

• Redo smaller at any given time

• I/O spread out across Datastores

• Less is more – backups are actually faster and more reliable


NetBackup Resource Limits Recommendations

• vCenter Resource Limits

– No higher than can be supported by NetBackup Media Servers

– Recommend no more than around 50

– This number dependent on vCenter version

• ESXserver = 2

– Spread load across vSphere environment

• Datastore = 2

– Datastore is almost certainly heavily impacted by VM activity

– Lower number improves snapshot reliability & lowers I/O


The Resource Limit setting is the

single best feature in NetBackup

for VMware

Recommandations for Better VMware Backups

• Understand virtualization backup API’s

– vStorage Backup API’s significantly change backup dynamics

• You have lots of ESXi hosts – use them!

– Spread backup streams across ESXi hosts – NetBackup can help!

• First NBD stream per ESXi is fastest (~ 100 MB/sec – 10GbE)

– Subsequent streams from same ESXi will be slower

• Large redo logs are bad

– We’ll tell you how to design backups to avoid large redo

• Never assume your servers, storage, network, SAN is performing at optimal levels

– Test your environment to ensure that hardware is performing correctly


NetBackup Technologies for Improving Efficiency

NetBackup VMware Accelerator

• Eliminate full backups

– Media server synthesizes a full image using data from previous backups

– Only the blocks that have changed are transferred from client to media server

• Key Benefits:

– Significantly reduce backup impact on VMware environment

– Shorten backup windows by over 90%

– Zero loss of any restore functionality

– Zero modifications to VMware environment

– Less backup hardware required – increases scalability of existing env.

– Supported with any NetBackup deduplication technology

– Integrated with V-RAY, AIR, SLP, applications

VMware Tags and Extended Attributes

VMware Tags

Example VMware Categories and Tags

What is a VMware Tag?

• Tags allow metadata to be attached to various vSphere objects

• A tag is essentially a label that can be assigned to various objects in the inventory

• A tag is associated with a category (tag grouping mechanism)

• Tagging replaces custom attributes functionality

BACKUP PRODUCTION OS PLATFORM

• Production • Test • Sandbox

• RHEL 6.0 • RHEL 6.5 • SUSE 11 SP3 • SUSE 11 SP4 • SUSE 12 • Win 2012 • Win 2012 R2
