Enterprise data backup technology

In the "Internet +" era, with the explosive growth of enterprise data and the popularity of cloud computing and big data, enterprises inevitably have more stringent requirements for important data. At the same time, the existing backup architecture faces huge challenges and external challenges. Due to the pressure, upgrading the existing backup architecture with the latest backup technology has become an inevitable choice for many enterprises. Therefore, it will be a challenge for enterprise IT personnel to find a backup technology that truly meets current needs while fully considering future development.
Enterprise data backup technology is very broad in scope and can be simply divided into hardware technology and software technology. Hardware technology is currently mainly based on tape drives, virtual tape libraries, disks, hard disks, SAN storage and other technologies. Software technology is general and dedicated backup software technology, including the currently developing SaaS technology.
Some experts also analyze from the perspective of backup modernization and use backup replacement technology to consider today's three main types of data protection strategies: continuous data protection CDP, snapshots, and mirror-based backup technologies to create modern backup solutions for enterprises.
Leaving aside the discussion of these complex technology types, the choice of enterprise data backup technology should still focus on what kind of effect you want to achieve. When choosing a backup solution, you should be aware of the backup needs of different applications and data in the IT environment. It's also different. For different data classifications, the following issues should be considered from the perspectives of operational recovery and disaster recovery:
●When a failure occurs, the maximum amount of data that can be tolerated is lost
This question is helpful in helping users define the frequency of protection. The maximum tolerable degree of data loss from the occurrence of a failure to the time of recovery operation is usually called RPO. If data is lost for 1 hour, RPO is 1 hour.
●After a failure, how long does it take for the data to be restored
This time refers to the time required from the occurrence of a failure until the data is available again, that is, the recovery time, which reflects the urgency of recovery required by the user and is often called RTO. If the business stops for 1 hour, RTO is 1 hour
●How large a backup window is needed and how long can be used to perform the backup
This question can help you define your needs in terms of backup performance or backup technology.
​●What is your budget
●In order to solve the backup problem, can you modify your existing backup structure or backup procedure
●Do you plan to continue using tapes for online and remote data archiving
As data protection technology evolves, it may be possible to consolidate the use of tape at a single site, or to further expand the use of current tape investments.
●How to deal with existing cloud data including enterprise private cloud, public cloud or hybrid cloud, or backup business that is going to the cloud in the future
Answering the above questions will be very helpful for you to find the most suitable enterprise data backup technology. Maybe you already know about traditional backup to tape, backup to disk, and backup to virtual tape library. Let's learn about a new enterprise data backup technology: multi-backup HCProtect hybrid cloud enterprise-level protection architecture technology.
Multi-backup HCProtect integrates file and database backup, compression, encryption, and recovery, and can realize backup and recovery of various storage spaces on local, FTP, public cloud platforms, and custom platforms. It is efficient, stable, and takes up less resources, fully meeting the needs of enterprise-level users. Without additional hardware resources, it can build a powerful, efficient and stable fully automatic backup environment for enterprises, which is a very cost-effective choice.
Multiple backup HCProtect brings revolutionary changes to enterprises
Regardless of whether the data scale is terabytes or hundreds of millions, files are as small as bytes, whether there are one, two, or tens of thousands of devices or databases, servers or PCs, they are all within the capabilities of the HCProtect architecture.
With a minimum investment of only a few thousand, you can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of professional-grade local and off-site data backup protection solutions
Ultra-low threshold to get started, deployment can be completed in an instant, and seamless access to existing IT or cloud networks
Dozens of revolutionary technologies, such as GCISP global intelligent resource scheduling platform, million-level node-scale two-level centralized technology TLCM, hundreds of billion-scale hybrid cloud index technology HyperIndex, multi-cloud redundant distribution technology Cloud5, and parallel cloud channel technology CloudBoost , local and cloud-level full incremental storage technology TWFIS and other comprehensive changes in traditional backup solutions, significantly reducing storage space investment, improving off-site protection speed, and improving management and maintenance efficiency.
End-to-end bank-level encryption, integrated with blocking technology, scattered storage in local storage and cloud.
Generally speaking: the data backup technology solution launched by Duobackup for enterprises and institutions adopts a centralized management control strategy and supports a variety of platforms and applications. The configuration and daily management are very simple and convenient, and do not require special professional skills. Ordinary managers As long as they undergo simple training, they can be fully competent in management work. At the same time, it provides cost-effective disaster recovery applications: managed private cloud can easily build backup services in the cloud, greatly ensuring the provision of recovery services. Cloud backup is data-level off-site disaster recovery REST API, which can be easily integrated into enterprise disaster recovery management systems to achieve disaster recovery. Centralized monitoring. Users can obtain advanced data protection features without purchasing expensive storage devices.
