Using NetVault's Virtual Disk Library(TM) (VDL VDL - Vienna Definition Language ) support, customers can create pseudo tape libraries on disk storage devices to provide high performance backup targets that reduce backup window requirements. Virtual libraries can be easily scaled by simply adding more disk capacity, and tuned for available network bandwidth by managing the number of virtual drives in a library. Optionally, after backups complete, data can be migrated to real tape for long-term retention or copied leaving one backup set on disk for faster restores. With NetVault's VDL Support, data that has been migrated can be restored directly from tape media without requiring a re-staging to disk. NetVault's Lifecycle Data Management solution allows administrators to maximize their backup and recovery options to meet business continuance goals and to provide the fastest return on their investment. Administrators use backup policies to effectively balance data retention requirements and control duplication of media to help ensure fastest possible backup and recovery times for critical applications.
