Integrated Backup Solutions for the SnapServer
The following backup solutions are preinstalled and/or customized for the
SnapServer:
BakBone Netvault
BakBone Netvault is a scalable, enterprise-wide backup solution for GuardianOS,
Windows, Linux, and UNIX operating systems with the following functionality:
• Near-line storage — The SnapServer manages backup jobs, locally storing the
backup images on disk using virtual tape library technology. Eight virtual drives
with up to 100 GB capacity (total) are supported. (Additional capacity up to
1.1 TB can be added with additional licenses.)
• Direct-attached storage — Data from up to five clients is backed up to a
standalone, SCSI-attached tape device attached to a SnapServer. Supports up to
four tape drives.
Some SnapServers ship with BakBone’s NetVault server software preinstalled with
a Workgroup Server license. This license supports backup and recovery of data to
the SnapServer from up to 5 heterogeneous clients. (Additional clients can be added
with optional licenses.)
Note SnapServers 110, 210, and N2000 require an additional license to support
NetVault.
For additional information on installing and configuring NetVault, see the
documentation included with the NetVault CD that shipped with your SnapServer.
