4. Difference between Backup & Archive • Backups are created to recover from errors • Cost effective data protection • Off-site storage • Backup is important – Restore is Critical • Archiving for Information Lifecycle Management • Storing data on different media based on policy • “Right Data, Right Place, Right Price”

10. Traditional Tape Based Backup • Primary storage to archival storage • Direct relationship with tape devices • Additional device sharing software Tape automation Backup servers Application servers Data moves directly from primary storage to tape and is managed by the backup application

11. Disk to Disk Backup • Add secondary disk storage • Part of existing disk subsystem or as an external appliance Tape automation Backup servers Application servers Data protection appliance • Snapshot/mirrors • Continuous data protection (CDP) Disk based snapshot/mirroring Data moves from primary storage to temporary disk buffer. Backups usually take place from the temporary location to tape.

12. Disk to Disk to Tape Backup • Add disk to existing backup servers • No additional hardware or software Tape automation Backup servers Application servers Data moves from primary storage to the temporary disk buffer and then on to tape. Data movement is managed by the backup application. Recoveries will normally come from the disk buffer(s).

13. Disk to Disk with Virtual Tape • Add virtual tape services with a storage appliance Tape automation Backup servers Application servers VTL virtual tape library Data moves from primary storage to the VTL disk buffer under control of the backup application. Recoveries normally take place from the VTL buffer. If a real tape cartridge is required then the backup application is responsible for creating it.

25. It doesn’t help if this component is fast when the rest are slow. Let’s see the difference for archive! • Components of recall time • Mount tape (by robot)‏ • Load tape • Find block • Transfer data • Rewind • Unload • Dismount tape (by robot)‏

26. Choose the Right Tape Technology • Capacity • Important for backup • Very important for most archive requirements • Not so important for HSM functionality • Throughput • Important for backup and archive • Backup must write several stripes because of the speed • Loadtime • Important for HSM functionality • Reliabilty

35. The Judges Reach Their Decision -Sun StorageTek L1400M Product of the Year • As one of our judges put it, it may be "somewhat contrarian" to give the gold to a tape library in 2006, but Sun Microsystems Inc.'s L1400M solves a top problem in tape: • The ability to use four different tape formats within a single library • “It's a solution that's been a long time coming.”

44. Free Space Active Data (Frequently-Used Files) Pointers to Inactive Data on Secondary Media ‘Infinite Disk’ Technology SAM-FS creates a virtualized or “infinite disk” that extends primary or secondary storage onto any number of additional media and devices. Virtualization optimizes storage capacity – automatically migrating inactive data to near-line secondary media – while also giving users immediate access to ALL of their data, regardless of where it is stored.
