Snapshot Client features at a glance

DescriptionSnapshot Client feature

A point-in-time, read-only, disk-based copy of a client

volume. NetBackup backs up data from the snapshot,

not directly from the client’s primary or original volume.

Required by all features of Snapshot Client.

Snapshot

Makes the backups available for recovery from disk.Instant Recovery

Shifts the burden of backup processing onto a separate

backup agent, reducing the backup effect on the client’s

computing resources. The backup agent sends the

client’s data to the storage device.

Includes alternate the client, data mover, and virtual

machine host (for VMware).

Note: NetBackup 7.1 supports off-host backup of Oracle

database in the SFRAC (Storage Foundation Real

Application Clusters) environment. For more details, refer

to the NetBackup for Oracle System Administrator’s

Guide.

Off-host backup

Combines the speed of raw-partition backups with the

ability to restore individual files.

FlashBackup

Backs up and restores Windows and Linux Hyper-V

virtual machines (guest operating systems).

See the NetBackup for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide.

NetBackup for Hyper-V

Backs up and restores Windows and Linux VMware

virtual machines (guest operating systems).

See the NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide.

NetBackup for VMware

Makes snapshot-based backup of data on a Network

Attached Storage (NAS) host.

NAS snapshot

Enables NetBackup to back up only the changed data

blocks of VMware virtual machines and Oracle or DB2

database files.

Block level incremental backup

Snapshot Client features

These topics describe the features of Snapshot Client.

About snapshots

A snapshot is a point-in-time, read-only, disk-based copy of a client volume. After

the snapshot is created, NetBackup backs up data from the snapshot, not directly

from the client’s primary or original volume. Users and client operations can access

the primary data without interruption while data on the snapshot volume is backed

up. The contents of the snapshot volume are cataloged as if the backup was

produced directly from the primary volume. After the backup is complete, the

snapshot-based backup image on storage media is indistinguishable from a

traditional, non-snapshot backup image.

All the features of Snapshot Client (including off-host backup, FlashBackup, and

Instant Recovery) require the creation of a snapshot.

About snapshot methods

NetBackup can create different types of snapshots. Each snapshot type that you

configure in NetBackup is called a snapshot method. Snapshot methods enable

NetBackup to create snapshots within the storage stack (such as the file system,

volume manager, or disk array) where the data resides. If the data resides in a

logical volume, NetBackup can use a volume snapshot method to create the

snapshot. If the data resides in a file system, NetBackup can use a file system

method, depending on the client OS and the file system type.

Many different technologies are available for creating snapshots, and many different

terms are used to refer to the underlying implementation of any given snapshot.

Common terms include clone, split-mirror, and copy-on-write. In this documentation,

the term "snapshot" designates any point-in-time, read-only copy of a primary

volume, regardless of its underlying implementation. Method-specific terminology

is explained along with specific snapshot methods in other chapters of this guide.

In some cases, more than one method can make the snapshot. If the data resides

in a file system over a logical volume, NetBackup could use a file system method

or logical volume method. The choice of method might depend on the snapshot

features available in the storage subsystem where the data resides. Or, the choice

might depend on the requirements of the snapshot method itself. For example: if

the client data is in a VxFS file system over a VxVM volume, NetBackup could

create the snapshot with a file system method. On the other hand, NetBackup can

use a volume manager method to create the snapshot of the same data, such as

VxVM or FlashSnap. Between VxVM and FlashSnap, only FlashSnap supports the

Persistent FastResync feature of VxVM mirror volumes. To take advantage of the

Persistent FastResync feature, you would have to select the FlashSnap method.

About snapshot providers

Each snapshot method relies on the snapshot technology that is built into the storage

subsystem where the data is stored. Examples of storage subsystem are volume

manager, file system, or hardware disk array. NetBackup includes a set of Software

Libraries that are called "snapshot providers." The providers enable Snapshot Client

to access the snapshot technology in the storage subsystem.

Each snapshot provider is designed for a particular subsystem. For example, the

VxFS provider enables NetBackup to create snapshots of files in the Veritas File

System (VxFS). The VxVM provider does the same for the data that is configured

in Veritas Volume Manager volumes. The EMC CLARiiON disk array provider

enables NetBackup to create hardware snapshots in the CLARiiON array.

You specify the method in the NetBackup policy. When the policy runs, the snapshot

method calls the snapshot provider library. The provider then accesses the

underlying commands in the storage subsystem to create the snapshot.
