Backup and recovery refers to the various strategies and procedures involved in protecting you’re the database against data loss and reconstructing the database after any kind of data loss. The volume of data you must manage and protect continues to grow exponentially, and retention requirement further complicate data management.

EMC Backup and Recovery solutions:
Deduplication solutions
EMC deduplication solutions can have a powerful effect on backup performance and efficiency in physical and particularly virtual server environments, where overlapping backup windows and redundant operating systems, applications and file data and server resource contention are common.
By moving less data across the data center and storing only unique data, these solutions dramatically speed backup and restore, shorten backup windows, and significantly lower IT costs by reducing backup storage, bandwidth and management costs. Plus, they can help organizations drive IT transformation efforts by ensuring efficient, scalable and high reliability disk-based data protection.

Desktop , Laptop and remote offices solutions
Information critical to the success and efficiency of your organization isn’t just found in your data center. It also resides at your remote and branch offices and increasingly in the desktops and laptops of your employees.
Traditional backup methods for these types of environments often come up short. They do not meet the needs of corporate IT professionals or end users, especially as the world has become more virtual.
SMARTER BACKUP
EMC desktop, laptop, and remote office solutions meet business requirements for application availability, cost reduction, and transformation.
Remote and Branch Offices
Efficiently centralize server backups in remote and branch offices using minimal bandwidth and with very limited administrative overhead with EMC Avamar. This solution is also simple, safe, easy to manage and—importantly—cost-effective. EMC deduplication technology reduces network bandwidth requirements by up to 99 percent, enabling daily full backups via existing networks for reduced business risk.
Desktops and Laptops
By deduplicating backup data before it is transferred across the network, only a fraction of the data traditional methods backup is sent across the network, which keeps backup speeds high, IP networks uncongested, and costs low. EMC Avamar also enables end users to quickly recover anywhere, anytime, with just one step.

Disaster Recovery solutions
EMC Disaster Recovery solutions provide a way out. By sending only deduplicated and compressed data across the network, EMC deduplication storage systems require a fraction of the bandwidth, time, and cost compared to traditional replication methods.
These solutions make it possible for organizations to easily and cost-effectively replicate backup data for disaster recovery purposes and, in doing so, reduce business risk, IT complexity and overall total cost of ownership.
PROVEN RESULTS
• Enterprise-wide disaster recovery for backup data to protect your business-critical data.
• Improved efficiency – with up to 99 percent bandwidth efficiency, DR is much faster and—importantly—cost-effective.
• Better flexibility and scale to meet specific SLAs or infrastructure requirements as environments scale
• Simpler disaster recovery – no more cumbersome, risky tapes.
Mainframe solutions
EMC Mainframe solutions enable organizations to achieve better performance and scalability, higher availability, and significant cost-savings.
EMC Disk Library for mainframe (DLm) combines the best of virtual tape and disk storage technologies to meet enterprise data center requirements. These solutions give organizations the flexibility to choose primary storage, deduplication storage, or both to store actual tape volumes, depending on their environments and workloads, as well as the ability to replicate from one site to one or two remotes sites for quick, multi-site disaster recovery.
PROVEN RESULTS

Key benefits
Unified virtual and physical backup
• Protect your virtual infrastructure with VMware and Hyper-V backup and recovery from the experts in virtual backup. Hostlevel backup, powered by V-Ray technology and integrated with VMware Data Protection APIs (application programming interfaces) and Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), enables backup of entire virtual guests and recovery at the virtual machine, virtual disk, application, and file/folder level. Advanced hypervisor features are also supported with both VMware and Hyper-V. Virtualized applications are supported too—backup and recovery granular data from virtualized Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Active Directory, and SQL Server applications.
• Agentless or agent-based virtual protection Backup Exec 2012 gives you the flexibility to choose the level of recoverability you need in your VMware or Hyper-V environment. If you use an agent, you can backup and recovery virtualized applications and restore files, folders, application data, and entire virtual machines. If you choose to go agentless, you can recover the entire virtual machine, ensuring protection at the virtual machine level. Backup Exec 2012 makes it easy to optimize VMware and Hyper-V backup to achieve the right blend of virtual machine performance and recoverability.
• Microsoft certified backup and recovery for the latest Windows environments and applications, including Windows 2008 R2, Exchange 2010 SP1, SQL Server, and SharePoint.
• Comprehensive disk and tape storage for virtual, physical, and application backup.
• Reduce storage by up to 90 percent with deduplication, lowering storage costs across all your physical1 and virtual2 backups while offering network bandwidth reduction for local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) backup. Shrink your backup storage requirements while making WAN-friendly remote office backup a reality. Deduplicate across all data protected by Backup Exec 12, not just on a per-job basis. Additionally, deduplication offers significantly greater levels of storage savings versus compression or single-instance storage.
• Source deduplication for Linux servers enables significant LAN/WAN bandwidth and backup storage savings while protecting Linux servers in your environment.
• Ensure your virtual machine backups are recoverable with the Virtual Machine Validator that enables VMware and Backup Exec 2012 administrators to easily validate the recoverability of full virtual machine backups via the VMware vSphere™ client console.
• Backup Exec 2012 includes High Availability for virtual applications with Virtual Machine Auto-Recovery for VMware. It adds integration of the Backup Exec Management Plug-in 2.0 for VMware with Symantec ApplicationHA 6.0, which enables Backup Exec to automatically restore a failed virtual machine in order to recover lost application services once ApplicationHA has exhausted the steps to remediate the failure.
One product, any recovery
• Integrated bare-metal disaster recovery gives administrators the power to recover an entire server, to entirely different hardware, from backup copies of that server. From a DVD boot disk, called the Symantec™ Recovery Environment, connect to the Backup Exec 2012 server and recover an entire machine to completely different hardware.
• Convert backups to virtual machines for instant recovery so that if a server fails, you can get that server back up and running in a VMware or Hyper-V environment in the time it takes you to turn on a virtual machine. This “no-hardware disaster recovery” allows instant recovery of physical servers in a virtual environment—which can drastically shrink the amount of time your business-critical services are down. Converting backups to virtual machines extends the Backup Exec leadership in virtualization, and is built into Backup Exec 2012.
• Granular recovery for physical and virtual applications eliminates redundant backups for Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint, and SQL Servers in virtual environments. From a single host-level backup of VMware or Hyper-V guest application servers, administrators can restore individual emails, SharePoint documents, Active Directory objects, and SQL Server databases. With Backup Exec 2012, there is no need for recovery environments, additional virtual machines, or other additional resources to recover granular data.
