Simplified Reporting
Enhanced OpsCenter reporting to around capacity licensing, policies and DR:
- Easily generate reports to show the amount of Front End Terabyte (FETB) on the host file system for licensing purposes
- Comprehensive, end-to-end visibility of Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLP), and the new Auto Image Replication feature to aid in tracking and troubleshooting.
Analyse NetBackup workloads across your entire enterprise by:
- Count of jobs , count of queued jobs, size of Jobs, throughput of jobs
- Drill down by Master Server, Media Server or Client
- Enhanced Audit Trails -Track who made what changes, when the changes were made, and the types operations were changed in a NetBackup environment centrally from OpsCenter (Audit Trail reports also available).
Key Features
Integrated Deduplication
NetBackup now offers both client and target deduplication that can be deployed without additional servers. The new NetBackup deduplication client improves backup speeds by eliminating data at the source which means less data to move. For unique client demands, customers can choose to use target-side deduplication before writing data to disk.
Simple and Comprehensive Virtual Machine Protection
Simplify how you protect information in virtual environments by standardizing all backups through NetBackup. New VMware® and Microsoft® Hyper-V features increase both backup and recovery speeds and can perform backups with minimal impact to other virtual machines allowing you to perform backups based on your own needs.
Better Disaster Recovery with Global Data Protection
Enable rapid recovery at alternate sites with both integrated and live replication features, including NetBackup catalog replication. Use NetBackup deduplication and replication to efficiently move up to 80% less data between different sites with optimized replication. For critical applications use NetBackup RealTime to recover.
Upgrade Information
Free of charge upgrade: Available to exisiting customers with valid maintenance contracts.
