Are you facing hard time in having a trusted, reliable backup for a file-system with millions of small files?
EMC has introduced since long time a NetWorker Module that would ease and empower the Backup process for High Density File System (HDFS). NetWorker Module for SnapImage creates a block-level snapshot of an organization’s entire file system, then periodically captures incremental data changes. Based on the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), this software provides the following features:
-
Full-image, block-level snapshot backup and recovery, allowing large amounts of High Density File System (HDFS) in DAS, remote, and SAN configurations.
-
Differential backup of changed blocks only.
-
Under appropriate conditions, NetWorker Module for SnapImage backups are much faster than traditional file-based backups.
-
Block-level data protection. With SnapImage, data is backed up live with no user lockout.
-
Block-level backups with file level restores.
The main two new features that is added to this release is:
-
The ability to backup file systems of size more than 2TB, and with higher densities.
-
File-Level Caching functionality has been added to the SnapImage besides Device –Level Caching.
