Feature Description
The last few years have seen a significant growth in the adoption of virtualized servers in data centers with many organizations converting to purely virtual environments. Even organizations that use physical servers in their production environments are starting to see the benefits of using virtualization in their disaster recovery and test and development environments. NetBackup’s Bare Metal Restore (BMR) feature has always provided an effective mechanism for migrating between physical and virtual environments by recovering backups of physical servers to virtual servers. In NetBackup 7.6 this “physical to virtual” recovery model has been greatly simplified allowing customers to achieve rapid physical to virtual migration and disaster recovery to virtual environments for Windows servers in both local and remote (disaster recovery) sites.
Business Value
The Bare Metal Restore “physical to virtual” recovery capability allows customers to recover backups of physical Windows servers to VMware virtual machines. Using VMware virtualization in a disaster recovery data center can significantly reduce both the capital and operational costs associated with maintaining a disaster recovery position by allowing a “lights out” facility to be rapidly spun up in the event of a site loss.
Bare Metal Restore “physical to virtual” can be combined the NetBackup Auto Image Replication feature, allowing backup of physical servers to be replicated to a remote data center. VMware ESX servers at this disaster recovery facility can be left powered off until required and then powered up. Once the ESX servers are available the replicated backups of the physical servers at the product site can be quickly restored to virtual machines running on the ESX servers rather than needing to deploy physical servers. For disaster recovery testing purposes the virtual machines created during the recovery process can simply be deleted once the testing activities are complete. A similar approach can be used in test and development environments with backups from physical production servers being used to create virtual test servers.

- Why Upgrade to Windows Server 2012?
- Operating System Hardware and Disk Space Requirements
- Supported Windows Clients and Servers
- Supported In-Place Upgrade Paths
- Functional Levels, Operation Master Roles, Active Directory Considerations
- Migration Tools for Windows Server 2012
- Hyper-V and Virtual Machines Considerations
- Summary
Proper resource allocation is critical to achieving top application performance in a virtualized environment. Resource contention degrades performance and underutilization can lead to costly server sprawl.
We found that adding VMTurbo to a VMware vSphere 5.5 cluster and following its reallocation recommendations gave our application performance a big boost. After reducing vCPU count, increasing memory allocation to active databases, and moving VMs to more responsive storage as VMTurbo directed, online transactions increased by 23.7 percent while latency dropped significantly. Avoid the pitfalls of poorly allocated VM resources and give your virtualized application every advantage by gaining control of your environment at every level.

Physical to Virtual (P2V) & Backup to Virtual (B2V) Conversions with Backup E...Symantec
Convert-to-Virtual, Backup-to-Virtual, and Point-in-Time Conversions with Backup Exec 2014
Backup Exec 2014 continues to invest in virtualization technology. Features included in the Backup Exec 2014 product help administrators solve the problem of moving physical servers to a virtual environment and also give administrators unique tools for leveraging virtualization technology for disaster recovery. These features are the ability to perform automated conversions of physical servers to a virtual machine replica, perform automated conversions of physical servers – using existing backup sets – to a virtual machine replica, and perform “ad hoc” or on-demand conversions of physical server backups to a virtual machine replica.
Convert to Virtual (P2V)
The Backup Exec 2014 P2V feature allows administrators to configure backup definitions for physical servers that protect the server by both storing backup data to the Backup Exec server and creating a virtual machine replica of the server on an available VMware or Hyper-V host.
For backup definitions configured with a P2V task, the backup operation and the virtual machine replica operation occur in parallel.
Backup to Virtual (B2V)
A Backup Exec 2014 backup definition configured with a B2V task is similar to a backup definition configured with a P2V task; however, B2V jobs run the backup and virtual machine replica operations serially, meaning the backup operation runs first, and the virtual replica portion runs immediately afterwards or on a different schedule.
Point-in-Time Virtual Conversions
Another method of creating a virtual machine replica of physical servers using Backup Exec 2014 is the ad hoc or Point-in-Time method. This method is not scheduled, and is not directly associated with any particular backup definition. It simply enables an administrator to create a virtual machine replica, on demand, of any physical machine that has been backed up to a Backup Exec server using an SDR-enabled backup.
The P2V, B2V, and Point-in-Time conversion features of Backup Exec 2014 can be used by administrators to move physical servers to a virtual environment permanently for migration purposes, or temporarily for testing or quick failover.
As virtualization platforms and functionality become more robust, more and more of your data and applications will reside on virtual machines (VM). Organizations such as yours may also look to leverage the strengths of the different virtualization platforms such as VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, Parallels, and Linux KVM.
Symantec NetBackup 7.6 benchmark comparison: Data protection in a large-scale...Principled Technologies
The footprint of a VM can grow quickly in an enterprise environment and large-scale VM deployments in the thousands are common. As this number of deployed systems grows, so does the risk of failure. Critical failures can become unavoidable and offering data protection from a backup solution promotes business continuity. Elongated protection windows requiring multiple jobs of different types can create resource contention with production environments and may require valuable IT admin time, so a finite window for system backups can have plenty of importance.
In our hands-on SAN backup testing, the Symantec NetBackup Integrated Appliance running NetBackup 7.6 offered application protection to 1,000 VMs in 66.8 percent less time than Competitor “E” did. In addition, the Symantec NetBackup Integrated Appliance with NetBackup 7.6 created backup images that offered granular recovery without additional steps. These time and effort savings can scale as your VM footprint grows, allowing you to execute both system protection and user-friendly, simplified recovery.
The values of server virtualization are well understood today. Customers implement
server virtualization to increase server utilization, handle peak loads efficiently,
decrease total cost of ownership (TCO), and streamline server landscapes.
Similarly, storage virtualization helps to address the same challenges as server
virtualization. Storage virtualization also expands beyond the boundaries of physical
resources and helps to control how IT infrastructures adjust to rapidly changing
business demands. Storage virtualization benefits customers through improved
physical resource utilization and improved hardware efficiency, as well as reduced
power and cooling expenses. In addition, consolidation of resources obtained
through virtualization offers measurable returns on investment for today’s
businesses. Finally, virtualization serves as one of the key enablers of cloud
solutions, which are designed to deliver services economically and on demand.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

NetBackup 7.6 Feature Briefing - Direct virtual machine creation from backup with BMR
Feature Description
The last few years have seen a significant growth in the adoption of virtualized servers in data centers
with many organizations converting to purely virtual environments. Even organizations that use physical
servers in their production environments are starting to see the benefits of using virtualization in their
disaster recovery and test and development environments. NetBackup’s Bare Metal Restore (BMR)
feature has always provided an effective mechanism for migrating between physical and virtual
environments by recovering backups of physical servers to virtual servers. In NetBackup 7.6 this
“physical to virtual” recovery model has been greatly simplified allowing customers to achieve rapid
physical to virtual migration and disaster recovery to virtual environments for Windows servers in both
local and remote (disaster recovery) sites.
Business Value
The Bare Metal Restore “physical to virtual” recovery capability allows customers to recover backups of
physical Windows servers to VMware virtual machines. Using VMware virtualization in a disaster
recovery data center can significantly reduce both the capital and operational costs associated with
maintaining a disaster recovery position by allowing a “lights out” facility to be rapidly spun up in the
event of a site loss.
Bare Metal Restore “physical to virtual” can be combined the NetBackup Auto Image Replication
feature, allowing backup of physical servers to be replicated to a remote data center. VMware ESX
servers at this disaster recovery facility can be left powered off until required and then powered up.
Once the ESX servers are available the replicated backups of the physical servers at the product site can
be quickly restored to virtual machines running on the ESX servers rather than needing to deploy
physical servers.
For disaster recovery testing purposes the virtual machines created during the recovery process can
simply be deleted once the testing activities are complete.
A similar approach can be used in test and development environments with backups from physical
production servers being used to create virtual test servers.

Underlying Principles
The BMR physical to virtual recovery process uses the VMware proxy server to provide a “virtual
instance converter” which creates a VMDK for the new virtual machine and restores the BMR backup of
the physical machine to that VMDK.
Figure 1 - physical to virtual conversion process
Figure 1 above shows the key components used during the recovery process. An empty virtual machine
container is created on the ESX server and presented to Virtual Instance Converter which formats the
virtual machine’s disks and restores the backup from the physical machine to them. The virtual machine
is then automatically started and made available to users.
Guided Tour
The conversion and recovery process can either be driven from the command line, using the
nbrestorevm command, or from the Bare Metal Restore Management section of the master server
administration interface. Using the command line allows the backup administrator to script and
schedule “bulk” conversions of virtual machines or disaster recovery testing purpose.

This “guided tour” provides examples from the administration interface “GUI driven” conversion
method.
Clients suitable for conversion to virtual machines are displayed under “VM Conversion Clients” (see
Figure 2) and conversion can be initiated by right clicking on the required client and selecting the option
“Convert to Virtual Machine”.

Once this information has been enter the next screen prompts for restore options including whether any
existing VM should be overwritten and whether the new VM should automatically power on after
recovery (Figure 4)

Once all the required information has been enter a summary screen is provided with the ability to run a
pre-conversion check (Figure 7).
Figure 7 - Conversion settings summary
The pre-conversion check validates the selected options and allows the conversion to be initiated
(Figure 8).

If the pre-conversion check is successful the conversion can be started by hitting “Convert to VM”, the
progress of the conversion can be seen through the VM conversion tasks tab (Figure 9) and via the
NetBackup activity monitor.

Licensing and support considerations
No special licenses are required for the BMR Physical to Virtual recovery feature. However a full
NetBackup VMware backup configuration is required for the recovery process. The server that acts as
the Virtual Instance Converter must be a Windows server and must have access to a copy of the
VMware tools ISO from the ESX server.
