Single-pass backup with granular recovery: recover VMs or files! • Optional media server-based deduplication with PureDisk VCB Requirements: VMware Proxy VMware Proxy Backup Proxy Media Servers • Requires shared SAN storage PureDisk or VTL or tape Backup Infrastructure Datacenter • Windows media servers • App/DB agent support in 6.5.4 Deep Dive: VCB and Granular Recovery File Recovery 1 Backup policy alerts NetBackup that it is time to do a virtual machine backup 2 NetBackup instructs VMware to snapshot the virtual machine 3 The new VMDK snapshot is mounted to the NetBackup Server via the proxy driver 4 Backup is then performed to any NetBackup storage device (disk, tape, PureDisk) 5 The VMDK snapshot is deleted 6 The backup image is then mapped for file-level recovery 7 Virtual Machines can then be restored from image backups for DR 8 Or, single files can be recovered to any location Image Recovery VMDK VMware ESX VMware ESX VMware ESX NetBackup Media Server NetBackup Media
