Backup-to-disk target

for Dell NetWorker

Dell NetWorker is a popular backup and restore application used in datacenters today.

FalconStor StorSafe® VTL is certified with Dell NetWorker, ensuring compatibility, performance, and rock-solid reliability for our mutual customers.

Reduce Storage Costs with Patented Deduplication

When selecting your NetWorker backup target, virtual tape library (VTL) allows you to replace tape backup with a disk-based target. Why is this important? Consider this: Every week a mission-critical server is going have a full backup done.
That’s 52 full backups every year. Data retention is typically 5 to 7
years. The data on that mission-critical server did not change much from
week to week. Backup data is highly redundant over time. One of the big
wins when you move to a backup-to-disk target with NetWorker is that the
backup data can be reduced by up to 95%, dramatically slashing the cost
of storing it over time.

StorSafe VTL increases backup and restore performance by reducing your backup data by up to 95% using deduplication technology based on 9 patents.

Figure 1 shows how the deduplication process works.

Figure 1. StorSafe VTL reduces backup data by up to 95%, greatly reducing storage costs.

When backups are directed to disk, they can run up to 10 times faster compared to tape, helping organizations meet backup windows.

For organizations that still require tape backup in some instances, StorSafe VTL can also save a copy to tape, following the deduplication process and thus still reducing backup time.
