BakBone NetVault: Backup 8.5
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Mon, October 19th, 2009
Provides disk-based backup options and de-dupe with NetVault: SmartDisk
NetVault: SmartDisk’s disk-based backup
with the data deduplication option
provides new benefits to customers, including:
- Drastically reduces storage costs with BakBone’s new powerful, byte-level, variable block-based deduplication option that protects more data in the same storage area. Achieves disk savings of up to 90% and reduces hardware costs by using existing storage infrastructure without requiring specific drives or appliances.
- Allows customers to take advantage of deduplication and encryption. Since encrypted data does not deduplicate well, BakBone’s job-level deduplication and encryption capabilities solve this by allowing customers to deduplicate the primary copy and encrypt the secondary copy.
- Speeds deployments through seamless integration with NetVault: Backup.
- Minimizes the level of storage expertise required to implement deduplicated backups with NetVault: Backup’s simplified ease of use.
- Works with third party disk-based backup solutions, such as Data Domain.
“We are thrilled to introduce the first product based on BakBone’s new Open Data Protection Platform,” said Jeff Drescher, vice president of Marketing, BakBone. “Unlike other data protection solutions, BakBone has built intelligence into one platform that extends the investment of users’ data protection environments with the ultimate goal of providing affordable and long-term disk-based storage. Our future roadmap for BakBone’s Open Data Protection Platform will allow customers to store and deduplicate data from many different sources, including other data protection vendors. This gives customers the opportunity to consolidate their data protection solutions using the same deduplication solution, thereby reducing costs and providing more flexibility with regard to vendors.”
NetVault: Backup 8.5
In addition to NetVault: SmartDisk, the new version of NetVault: Backup introduces advanced security features, a new Hyper-V plugin and extended platform support:
Advanced Security
- Advanced AES-256 and CAST-256 encryption algorithms provide the option for stronger encryption as necessitated by regulatory requirements
- Flexibility to encrypt only secondary copies of data while the primary backup remains unencrypted – thus reducing the backup window while maintaining security standards for secondary storage
- Job-level encryption increases flexibility, giving users control over exactly which data is encrypted and which data is not
- When used in conjunction with job-level deduplication, the new security features enable encrypted data to be stored in the same NetVault: SmartDisk instance as duplicated non-encrypted data
BakBone continues to deliver on its market-leading virtualization strategy with the introduction of the NetVault: Backup Hyper-V Plugin, which provides:
- Centralized backup and recovery of virtual and physical environments from a single console by consolidating virtual machine protection into a single NetVault: Backup environment.
- Online protection of Windows-based virtual machines running VSS aware applications, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server and SharePoint Server.
- Ability to perform image-level backups for disaster recovery and Windows Guest OS file-level backups for faster file-level recovery.
- BakBone continues to expand its platform support for NetVault: Backup by adding support for Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and several new mainstream Linux platforms.
- NetVault: Bare Metal Recovery for the NetVault: Backup Server extends bare metal recovery to the NetVault: Backup Server for disaster recovery purposes.
