Implementation of a tape-based data protection solution
Implement the tape-based solution, which uses disk-to-disk-to-tape backup and disk staging to optimize storage. By implementing the tape solution, you can enable long-term data retention and achieve low-cost scalability.
Tip: The
described solution does not include node replication. However, if you want to use node replication
to back up a storage pool from disk to disk, ensure that the replication operation is completed
before data is migrated from disk to tape. You can also use node replication to back up a storage
pool on a local tape device to a copy storage pool on a local tape device.
Implementation roadmap
The following steps are required to set up a tape-based solution.- Set up the system.
- Install the server and the Operations Center.
- Configure the server and the Operations Center.
- Attach tape devices for the server.
- Configure tape libraries for use by the server.
- Set up a storage pool hierarchy.
- Install and configure clients.
- Configure LAN-free data movement.
- Select an encryption method and configure encryption.
- Set up tape storage operations.
- Complete the implementation.
