NAS Based Backups

Network Attached Storage is the ideal storage media for environments needing large disk space for heterogeneous servers. It is implemented in environments where you have large amount of data but fairly less data activity.

The NAS appliance is connected over the IP across the network. Disk space is allocated from this to multiple servers in the environment.

The beauty of the NAS structure is that it means that in an environment with many servers running different operating systems, storage of data can be centralized, as can the security, management, and backup of the data.

We offer backup solutions for backing up the NAS box data. A tape media device is connected directly to the NAS appliance. Industry leading backup applications are configured in such way that the data from the NAS appliance goes directly to the backup device without the need to travel across the network.

NAS based backups are taken through the Network Data Management Protocol. Our solutions enable enterprises to automate, centralize, and consolidate recovery performance and less management overhead.

Backup data is converted into the NDMP format and written to the tapes as biggest advantage is fast snapshot based backups from the NAS appliance. Even large databases hosted on the NAS appliance get quickly backed up on the media.

Similarly, the restores are equally fast. We offer solutions for fast file-level and directory-level restore of the data. For a small restore, the user can easily select the required files and restore them fast. Even for a huge data restore involving millions of files, directory-level recovery acts as fast recovery method without the need for restoring the entire volumes.

The solutions we offer integrate both the above recovery scenarios to help user to perform quick recovery based on his requirement.

Quick downloading of the data from the backup sets on the media directly attached to the NAS appliance. Since, there is no movement of data across the network during a backup and a restore, the network bandwidth is also not used for these activities.

Our solutions are compatible with all leading brands of NAS appliances and NDMP v2, v3 and v4 protocols. We also offer the compatible tape devices for the off shore backups.

Dynamic Drive Sharing between various NAS servers, Storage Nodes and Backup Servers is yet another key element we offer. It offers complete investment protection by sharing the same drives & libraries between NAS & SAN environments thereby improving backup speeds and maximizing tape resources. Tape Cloning for off-site shipment to meet Disaster Recovery criteria is also offered within the same solution.
