 Why backup?

 Goals
– Backups are done for restores
 Operational
 Disaster Recovery
– Disaster recovery requires offsite backup
– Operational recovery requires onsite backup
– Need both onsite and offsite copies on disk
– Need quick restores
 Don’t have time for moving physical assets
– Protection of personal data & intellectual property

 Why So Much Interest in
Data Deduplication?
 Backup & Archive processes have been
overwhelmed by information growth

 Primary storage efficiency has become a

necessity to cope with massive growth

 ROI drives the compelling appeal of Dedupe

– Reduced Storage Capacities
– Lower Infrastructure Costs
– Improved SLA’s
– Efficient Replication for Business Continuance/DR

 Why Do Enterprises Still Use Tape?

Storage • Low upfront cost
DISK • Tape can store the massive
amount of redundant data
created by backups

• Transportable for offsite DR

 Inline vs Post-Process Deduplication:
Provisioning & Admin

Post Process: Inline:

Deduplication After Storing Deduplication Before Storing
At least 3x disk accesses to
shared store
Store Dedupe Dedupe Restore

Restore Replicate? Replicate

Updedupe?
Other activities unimpeded
Process contention increases with − Predictable
#processes − Simpler
− Copy to tape: Too slow to stream tape
− Recovery: SLA predictability
− Replication: Poor time-to-DR
− Deduplication itself if interleaved with backup or
restore
More admin needed to fight these issues
