Veritas launches Docker enclosure backup in NetBackup

Veritas has announced that a NetBackup backup software product is now approved to work with Docker containers.

NetBackup 8.1.2 now provides backup for Docker enclosure data, and joins CommVault and Asigra in charity data insurance for Docker.

It comes as a NetBackup customer in a form of a Docker picture that can strengthen focus information on persistent storage, or regulating a entertainment area.

Different methods of safeguarding Docker information are offering by NetBackup.

The initial is to run one NetBackup Docker customer per application, in that box a dual share a same lifecycle and contingency both be mounted to a determined storage being used.

Alternatively, one NetBackup customer can be related to countless Docker containers. This is easier on resources though can miss a coherence of a one-to-one approach.

Finally, applications using in Docker can save information to a “dump volume”, from that NetBackup protects it around a customary policy.

Docker containers are a form of UNIX-based open source virtualisation that operates on tip of a horde OS. Containers have seen a outrageous torrent in popularity, and offer a some-more lightweight process of focus virtualisation than hypervisor-centred methods.

They are designed to yield a ephemeral sourroundings that can be spun adult and down fast for rise workloads in web environments, for example.

Docker was primarily designed not to have determined storage attached, though this shortly became a requirement for craving users and countless storage suppliers have combined Docker plugins to concede their array LUNs to yield enclosure storage.

Along with that came a need for Docker backup.

Docker provides best practices for insurance of Docker infrastructure, while a enclosure orchestrator Kubernetes is upheld with local volume by a series of storage makers and supports a Container Storage Interface.

Commvault also provides Docker insurance and liberation around a virtualisation client.

Meanwhile, Asigra Cloud Backup protects Docker environments around an agentless approach.
