Symantec Backup Exec BlueprintsPreface/disclaimerNoticeThis Backup Exec Blueprint presentation includes example diagrams that contain objectsthat represent applications and platforms from other companies such as Microsoft andVMware. These diagrams may or may not match or resemble actual implementationsfound in end user environments. Any likeness or similarity to actual end userenvironments is completely by coincidence.The goal of the diagrams included in this blueprint presentation is not to recommendspecific ways in which to implement applications and platforms from other companiessuch as Microsoft and VMware, but rather to illustrate Backup Exec best practices only.For guidelines and best practices on installing and configuring applications andplatforms from other companies, please refer to best practice documentation and otherresources provided by those companies.Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints2

Pain PointsSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints4
Backup Exec Blueprints: Microsoft SharePointSharePoint Data Protection challenges SharePoint is Getting More Complex to Manage/Protect––––– Multiple servers with different rolesDifferent databasesCustomizationsConfigurationsLogical architecture doesn’t translate into physical componentsSharePoint Data Growth–– Ever-increasing volume of documents in SharePoint repositoriesSharePoint backups taking longerNative SharePoint Tools Insufficient–SharePoint's native backup tools are inadequate for handling thecomplexity of SharePoint data growthSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints5
Backup Exec AdvantagesSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints6
Backup Exec Blueprints: AdvantagesSolution designed for Microsoft SharePoint Server One Solution Protects Your Entire Infrastructure– Comprehensive backup support for physical or virtualized SharePoint Servers– Centralized management of large or distributed environments Recovery Flexibility– Granular recovery of SharePoint components, such as individual documents ordocument versions from a single backup– Redirected restore of SharePoint databases to any SQL instance available on thenetwork– Redirected restore of web applications to a remote SharePoint farm– Redirected restore of individual items to a folder location– Redirected restore of granular SharePoint objects to a different site or farmNote: Redirected restore to file system not supported in 2013. This is due to unknown format of Shredded file.7
Backup Exec Blueprints: AdvantagesSolution designed for Microsoft SharePoint Server Robust Deduplication Technology– Integrated data reduction technologies using the Deduplication Option– Significantly reduces secondary (backup) storage requirements On-line SharePoint Protection– Scheduled, on-line backups of SharePoint servers maintain user accessduring the backup High-performance Backups– Backup and restore of SQL data over LAN or SAN transport modesSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints8

Do Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints33
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointDo the following Use an account with local administrative privileges for each member of theSharePoint farm for SharePoint backup and restore jobs Make SharePoint backup selections from the appropriate SharePoint farmresource container in the list of servers on the Backup and Restore tabinstead of selecting individual SharePoint servers– The SharePoint farm resource container represents the entire farm topology inyour environment, including all of the SharePoint resources that reside on a singlecomputer– When you select the SharePoint resources from the farm resource container, youensure that you select all available SharePoint resources for backup Use the Backup Exec SQL Agent, in addition to the SharePoint farmresources, to back up the default Microsoft SQL Server databases forinstances on which SharePoint data resides Back up the master, model, and msdb databases to fully protect each SQLinstance for disaster recovery purposesSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints34
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointDo the following Keep Track of Applied Updates– Record all service packs/hot fixes installed on SharePoint server when you perform backups– Restore jobs may not complete successfully if databases were backed up with different patchlevels Full Backups Recommended– Perform full system backups of the SharePoint servers (system state, system volume, etc.)– When you make full system backups, you fully protect the entire SharePoint environment Turn On GRT– Ensure that Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) is enabled before you run backups– GRT is enabled by default for the SharePoint Agent– You can enable or disable GRT for SharePoint globally in the Backup Job Defaults dialog box Restore Databases Together– Symantec recommends that you restore all databases togetherSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints35
Do not Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints36
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointDo not do the following Avoid Resource Conflicts– Avoid disk-intensive SharePoint operations during backups Restore Best Practices For Configuration DB and Content DB– Never restore the Configuration DB or the Admin Content DB to anoperational SharePoint environment– If a restore of either database is required when SharePoint is operational,the restore should not be combined with any other resourceSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints37
Additional Notes and Best PracticesSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints38
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointGRANULAR RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY (GRT) BE 2010 R3 and Prior– Only full backups are supported with GRT– Incremental and Differential backups are possible in Backup Exec 2010 R3 andprior but GRT capability is not present– Incremental backups require the database to be in 'Full' recovery model. Theseare performed as traditional SQL Log-Truncate backups BE 2012 and above– Full/Differential/Incremental backups are supported with GRT– Differential and Incremental backups require that the backup job have AOFO/VSSenabled– Differential and Incremental backups require that the SharePoint SQL databasesbe set to 'Simple' Recovery model– The new method Incremental backups will back up the changed blocks for the DBplus the log file, filestream, and full text catalog files. Because of this, anincremental run immediately after a full may look like it backs up a lotSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints39
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointGRANULAR RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY (GRT) Cross Farm/Site GRT is also supported as long as the SharePoint versionsmatch– Items ( Docs, Any kind of list items )– Containers – All kinds of Lists, Sub site, Site Collections– Security – Not Supported No GRT support for SharePoint 2013 AppsSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints40
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointSharePoint best practices Small Environments– In small environments, consider running a daily full backup every evening in addition tohourly incremental/differential backups Mid-sized Environments– In mid-sized environments, consider running a weekly full backup and dailyincremental/differential backups Large Environments– In large environments, consider running daily incremental/differential backups, withfull backups occurring twice a month General––––Use the checksum feature to check database integrityPerform test restores periodicallyCombine different backup types to optimize the backup strategyLeverage compression and encryption features when creating a backup job to ensuredata securitySymantec Backup Exec Blueprints41
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointSharePoint best practices General (Cont.)– Schedule backup jobs when activity on SharePoint servers is low– Consider a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup strategy (backup/recovery performance)– Use a separate network for SharePoint backups– For physical SharePoint servers, consider using client-side Deduplication– Use daily differential or incremental backups in addition to periodic full backups– Upgrade your Backup Exec infrastructure to the latest available version– Use a disk maintenance utility to keep SharePoint disk defragmentation low– If multiple networks are available, use the Central Admin Server Option to alternate whatnetwork interfaces are used for backups– Perform Full and Differential backups to support DR at the SharePoint Portal server site level– Change the recovery mode for the SQL databases to Simple This only needs to be changed if you’re going to be running incremental backups– Restore all Shared Service Provider components togetherSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints42
Best Practices: Microsoft SharePointSharePoint best practices SharePoint 2013 has a new feature of Apps– Apps are downloadable from marketplace– Apps can be developed internally– Stored in an App Catalog and then installed in Site– Three modes of hosting an app SharePoint Hosted App Externally Hosted App Azure Hosted App Backup Exec 2014 does not support GRT for Apps at this point Support in planned for a future versionSymantec Backup Exec Blueprints43
