NetBackup Copilot for Oracle
Instant Recovery

NetBackup Copilot for Oracle Design Philosophy
• Simplify collaboration between database and backup administrators
• NetBackup Administrator just needs to know NetBackup
– Creates and maintains NetBackup policy, scheduling, storage
– NetBackup automatically generates complex RMAN scripts
– Complex Oracle tasks offloaded to Oracle DBA
• Oracle DBA just needs to know Oracle
– Leverages familiarOracle tools that DBA is comfortable with
– “Dump and sweep” process is automated, synchronized and reliable
– Copilot for Oracle backup process is proven and trusted by DBA

Copilot for Oracle Process: A Closer Look
• Standard NetBackup Oracle policy schedule initiates backup
• RMAN script is automatically generated
• Oracle database is prepped for backup
• RMAN automatically initiates Copilot “backup to disk” process
• NetBackup SLP automatically copies RMAN image to deduplication pool

This is the backup image
that is used for
Copilot Instant Recovery

Copilot for Oracle Instant Recovery Process
1. Any RMAN FULL or INCR backup images located on Copilot disk can be used
2. Cloned image is exported to Oracle server over NFS
3. Oracle database is mounted, open and fully accessible

NetBackup Appliance
Universal Share

Overview – NetBackup Appliance Universal Share
• Network based share ingest into NetBackup deduplication engine
– Supports all commercial/open source databases and workloads (scripted)
• Single hop process – no need for multi-hop (SLP) configuration
• Writes data directly to standard deduplication pool (MSDP)
– Space efficient - ingested data shares deduplication with any data resident in MSDP
– Secure - supports NFS and CIFS
• Heterogeneous – works with nearly all OS’s - Linux/Unix/Windows

Universal Share –What Problem AreWe Solving?
• Provide protection solution for databases/workloads where no agent
or backup API exists
• In database space, dump and sweep is a common data protection solution
– Most open source DBs have no backup APIs but can export/dump database
– Universal Share extends dump and sweep support to open source DBs
• Writing to an efficient deduplication target adds significant value
– Storage savings – efficiency of MSDP – robust and time tested
– Appliance provides easy to implement and reliable solution

TargetedTesting for In-FieldConfigurations
 Regression test – Multi-stream backup/restore
 Multiple Load Levels -- Streams per client
 0%, 50%, 80% and 98% dedupe ratio
 Large Stream Sizes
Ensure repeatable results (Max 10% variation, CI)
 Clean up the storage pools, recreate the file systems before each
run
Monitor/analyze four critical resources: CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network
 Continuously increase load until one or more of the above resource is
saturated
 Troubleshoot unexpected behavior until root cause is identified and
fixed
Test Methodology for Guaranteed Performance

Veritas Appliances

Closed Loop SystemValidation
• Hardware CompatibilityTesting (Server Platform, CPU, Memory, IO cards, Disk
Drives, Networking Components etc.)
– Complete Qualification of Every Single Firmware Piece running on the system during the Design Process
– Complete Qualification of any new follow-up releases fromVendors as Sustaining Engineering
– FullyVetted Firmware is Deployed in your environment reducing interoperability issues
– Periodic Firmware Releases/Qualifications to address Security and Functional gaps as they get discovered
• DVT (DesignVerificationTest)
• Combination of bare-metal and application level stress tests run under extreme operating conditions
• EarlyValidation Partnership with MajorVendors (Seagate, Intel WolfPass)

Veritas Appliances

Serviceability/Manageability
• Built in AutoSupport Feature to alert for critical events as they happen to minimize potential
downtime
