description
The scope of this project is to engage with a vendor-agnostic 3rd party to advise TPR of any shortcomings or potential improvements with our current backup solution(s). TPR currently uses a number of different products to backup and replicate data, some of which have not been updated for over a year. TPR runs a 99% virtualised environment using VMWare products and when the backup solution was implemented in 2007, physical servers were still in use. There may a case for investigating more efficient backup methods and architectures. We would therefore like consultation on the following areas:
| - | recommended best platform or process for backup of SQL servers – Netbackup agent/maintenance plan/other technology |
| - | is Netbackup still best suited to our environment? we currently have a mix of the following technologies: |
| 1. | Netbackup v7.5 |
| 2. | Veeam |
| 3. | Datacore replication |
| 4. | SQL mirroring |
| - | TPR is still using LTO3 tapes – any benefit of upgrading to LTO6? |
| - | Set up/tweak retention periods in line with best practice – currently a lot of time spent manually expiring backup tapes |
| - | Check for duplicate backups, and backups of backups. |
| - | Check Falconstor setup and version – also deduplication and replication schedules – upgrade if needed |
| - | Check Veeam setup and version – upgrade if needed |
Additional information: The timescale and costs are estimates.
