As a primary target for backup, disk has quickly become accepted as the optimal media. In addition, it is also widely accepted that data should be stored offline in some form of removable media, such as tape. With that said there are a multitude of options for disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T).
D2D2Many Virtual Tape Library
While most D2D2T solutions involve either multiple products or loosely integrated options to legacy backup products, NovaNET contains the next generation of D2D2T backup with the D2D2Many Virtual Tape Library option. Disk to disk to "Many" utilizes a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) concept to define one or more hierarchies of backup to disk.
Faster Backups
NovaNET's D2D2Many Virtual Tape Library option provides the best of both worlds, the speed of disk and the safety of tape. D2D2Many Virtual Tape Library gives you the benefit of a super-fast disk backup, minimizing backup windows, and incredibly quick restores, restoring from randomly accessible disk. Users get their data and systems back almost immediately! You can even create real tapes from your virtual tapes, giving you all the benefits of tape for longer term, removable and off-site storage.
More Accessible Backups
Virtual Tape is more accessible with configurable options, designed to handle up to 1000 Virtual Tape slots and up to 4 Virtual Tape drives! With Virtual Tape's capability to emulate a tape library, you now have the ability to manage complex backup rotations on any disk or NAS/SAN devices. NovaNET and Virtual Tape will keep track of the data that is backed up so you don't have to. Virtual Tape manages multiple tape magazines in the virtual library - giving you the added flexibility of a larger backup rotation scheme without the added cost of the physical media or media shuffling.
More Reliable Backups
D2D2Many Virtual Tape Library gives you a way to perform a backup to your disk or NAS quickly, and even migrate that data to a traditional tape drive or tape library that can be catalogued off-site, while maintaining a disk image of the backup on-site. Easily schedule migration tasks with an advanced scheduler to make on and off-site backup truly an automated process. By saving your tape migration scripts, you can use them again and again, for easy migration and batch processing.
