NetBackup Access Appliance: Long-Term Backup Retention After Tape

NetBackup Access Appliance is a data protection appliance that works integrated with NetBackup and provides scalable disk-based storage for long-term backup retention. Regulatory and business needs can require backups to be kept for years, and keeping them on tape slows down restores and audit requests. Access Appliance can replace or complement legacy tape or general-purpose storage.

Key Features

Deduplication and high capacity: Capacity optimisation keeps the cost of large data volumes under control.

NetBackup integration: The retention target is managed directly from NetBackup policies, so there is no separate storage management burden.

Security controls: The appliance comes with security controls aimed at preserving the integrity of long-retained backups, contributing to cyber resilience.

Benefits for Organisations

Keeping long-term backups accessible on disk means restore and audit requests are met far faster than with tape processes. The organisation simplifies its retention infrastructure and scales predictably with growing data volumes.
