Advanced Backup Features

Veritas Open Storage Technology (OST)

An important consideration when looking at disk-based backup solutions is how well a particular solution

supports advanced backup application features such as Backup Exec GRT (Granular Restore) and Veritas’ OST

(Open Storage Technology) for Backup Exec and NetBackup. Some solutions do not integrate well with these

features; poorly implemented GRT solutions, for example, may take hours to restore an individual e-mail or

may not work at all.

Veritas’ Open Storage Technology is another popular feature that allows for more integrated offsite data

protection, and it is important to check whether these features are supported if you are using Veritas

NetBackup or Backup Exec, OST allows for faster performance, better management, and unbalanced onsite

and offsite retention.

ExaGrid supports and is certified for:

y

NetBackup and Backup Exec OST

y

NetBackup AIR

y

NetBackup appliance compatibility

y

NetBackup Accelerator

ExaGrid is the only solution in the market for Veritas NetBackup Accelerator that can reconstitute a full backup

in its Landing Zone so that a complete backup is ready for restore in its already hydrated form for faster

restores and VM boots.
