Backup & Recovery of AWS Instances

Backup & Recovery of AWS Instances BACKUP IN THE CLOUD Most cloud users don’t realize until it’s too late that the cloud tools for replication don’t provide the level of protection that they need for workloads running in the cloud. The moment they find a long-running bug, data corruption, or something similar is when they realize that their replication solution can’t help them recover their data. Commvault offers multiple options to protect data from workloads running in AWS EC2 instances including agentless backup & recovery, application-integrated granular protection, efficient replication, and much more. Commvault is also one of the only data management solutions that provides a full array of infrastructure choices, enabling deployments that span physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure. This enables customers to use a single data management solution, regardless of where their workloads live – or where they move in the future!

SCENARIO / SUITABILITY

REQUIREMENTS

•  Data Protection for Cloud-Based Workload – protecting active workloads within an existing IaaS cloud (production, dev/test).

• Virtual Server Agent and Media Agent deployed on a proxy within IaaS provider for agentless backup. Applications will require agent-in-guest deployed in each VM. (AWS – requires v11 SP3 and newer.)

• A  gentless Instance Protection – protect instances with an agentless and automated/script-less protection mechanism through the Virtual Server Agent (AWS requires v11 SP3 and newer.) •  DASH Copy to Another Region, Cloud, or Back to On-Premises – complete data mobility – replicate to another geographical region with IaaS provider, a different IaaS provider, or back to on-premises sites

• ( Applications requiring application-level consistency, and all other cloud providers) Agents deployed in each VM within IaaS provider • Minimum 1x Media Agent in cloud, and (optional) minimum 1x Media Agent at secondary site (whether cloud or on-premises) • 1x DDB hosted on Media Agent • Recommended to use dedicated network from cloud provider to on-premises for best performance when replicating back to on-premises (AWS Direct Connect)

With a single software solution, Commvault makes it easy for you to manage your Amazon Web Services (AWS) backups, while adding workload portability across your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures. Cloud Integration with Amazon Web Services Commvault support for the AWS Cloud helps automate and optimize data management and infrastructure management operations.

1 Deduplicated backup into S3 storage using agentless VSA for AWS or application/file block-level backups (agent-inguest). Short term recovery points retained in same region for fast, local-based restores.

2 Deduplicated assisted copy to DR region via Media Agent, providing an independent, discrete copy of recovery points, protecting against loss of single region. Only unique changed blocks are sent, minimizing any egress costs.

3 Restores of EC2 instances, application data or granular files can target any region/availability zone, using either S3 bucket. 4 DR CommServe at DR region can be activated in event of failure at Production region. A single, active CommServe can administer all components, irrespective of number of regions/availability zones actively being protected.
