Backup

Cloud
Catalyst Store Cloud Bank Object Storage
Local Disk

1. Data Protector uses Catalyst to back up data to the HPE StoreOnce appliance. Block data is stored on local disk
2. Object Copy job replicates data from primary store into the Cloud Gateway store.
3. This triggers the appliance to upload to the cloud vendor so no local disk storage is used.
NOTE: Only delta-blocks are moved into or read from the Cloud to optimize cost
Dell EMC Data Domain Cloud Tier operation
Data Protector Dell EMC Data Domain

Cloud Tier
Backup Policy

1. Data Protector uses DD Boost to back up data to the Dell EMC Data Domain appliance.
2. The appliance manages the upload and download into or from the Cloud in deduplicated
format. It uses the internal Cloud Tier policy.
NOTE: Cloud uploads are done by DataDomain outside of DP control so there is no DP support for
DataDomain Cloud Tier (it is not necessary).
Backup to HPE StoreOnce VSA Cloud Instance
Different Workloads
in local IT

HPE/EMC VSA

▪ Data Protector can make use of Cloud VSAs.

▪ In this example, data is deduplicated on the source-side.
▪ Cloud VSAs are compatible with their physical appliance partners (see vendor documentation).

Backup flow

HPE Catalyst or EMC DD Boost Replication

Assume you have a virtual Backup Appliance in your Cloud:

▪ Data Protector can remotely control agents in the VMs or Containers and perform direct backup and
restore I/O to the Cloud backup appliance
▪ OPTIONAL: Can set up deduplicated replication to a compatible partner device in the DataCenter.

Cloud Integrations Summary
Data Protector lets enterprises . . .
• Offload or archive data into various Cloud vendor offerings.
OFFLOAD AND
ARCHIVE

• Organize Cloud access the same way as generic backup devices for easy integration into an existing
protection strategy.
CLOUD ACCESS

• Use Cloud backup devices from many client systems to streamline data flow and to offer load-
balancing or redirection.
BACKUP • Use Cloud backup devices from many client systems to streamline data flow and to offer load-
DEVICES balancing or redirection.

• Organize Cloud offload and archive without making strategy changes . . . because Data Protector
ADVANCED supports advanced options such as HPE StoreOnce Cloud Bank and EMC Cloud Tier.
