Protection: Native PowerProtect DD Backup Integration

  • In PowerStoreOS version 3.5 and later, the system can complete backups directly to a PowerProtect Data Domain series appliance. A PowerProtect DD system would need to be added as a remote system under Protection > Remote Systems. This feature allows the backup traffic to be directly offloaded to the backup storage appliances, which eliminates the need for a backup host. PowerStore supports both physical and virtual edition (DDVE) PowerProtect appliances. Backups are supported on volumes and volume groups.

    There are three primary functions when using the remote backup feature:

    • Backup Session – Backs up data from a supported storage object to a PowerProtect DD system. The data is backed up in the form of a point-in-time snapshot on the PowerProtect appliance.
    • Retrieve Session – Allows users to pull data from a PowerProtect appliance to a PowerStore appliance.
    • Instant Access – Allows hosts connected to a PowerStore appliance to temporarily access the data residing on the PowerProtect DD series appliance.

    The Remote Backup page shows the backup sessions that have been created on the system. These sessions periodically create a remote backup of a resource on a PowerProtect DD system based on a backup rule, or they can be created manually at any time from this page.
