Administrator’s Guide

Introduction

Aurreum Data Protection Suite (ADPS) backup and disaster recovery platform is an enterprise-level data security protection platform. With the built-in backup cloud system, ADPS provides data backup, disaster recovery, multi-tenant shared use and collaboration of local and cloud data and other features to protect enterprise data such as operating systems, databases, applications, files, virtual machines, object storage, and many more. When a data disaster occurs, ADPS can restore the data completely, accurately and quickly, to minimize the economic loss.

This guide introduces how to use ADPS as System Admin (the admin).

System Component

ADPS system components contain Backup Server, Storage Server, and Agent.

Backup Server: It is responsible for managing the connections of the Backup Agent and Storage Server. It can monitor and manage the business information of each agent resource, including backups and restores, and the information of storage servers.

Storage Server: It is responsible for receiving and storing data as well as processing the recycling mechanisms of backup data. The Backup Server and Storage Server components can be installed on the same or different devices. One backup server can manage multiple storage servers to achieve storage scalability.

Agent: It is responsible for responding to the commands of the backup server console as well as performing the backup and restore jobs. The Agent is installed on the server where users store business data. It will be managed by the backup server after their connection.

Operation and maintenance (O&M) management	Labeled resource management Various reports and log output Different user roles and access control permissions Data transfer in weak network environment Distributed multi-level management and unified monitoring Periodic disaster recovery testing Multi-factor authentication

User System

ADPS user system contains different users roles. The user system enables different user roles to be in charge of various operations, and provides unified monitoring, isolation, checks and balances to guarantee that each user’s behavior can be monitored and that every event can be traced back to the origin.

After the successful installation, ADPS has four built-in user roles by default: System Admin (the admin), Audit Admin, System Security, and System Monitor. Their permissions are as shown in the following table:

Built-in roles

Role	Permission
System Admin (the admin)	Responsible for the system configuration, user management, storage management, license management, resource management, operation and maintenance, etc. Default username and password is “admin/admin”.
Audit Admin	Responsible for recording user actions and log retention management. Default username and password is “audit/audit”.
System Security	When the Enable Security User option is checked, the system user management such as adding, deleting, user, modifying, and locking user is responsible by System Security. Default username and password is “security/security”.
System Monitor	Responsible for monitoring the operation state of the system. All system information can be monitored, including the system and job state of sub-servers. Default username and password is “sysmonitor/sysmonitor”.

As System Admin, you can customize three user roles: Admin, Monitor, and Operator. Their permissions are as shown in the following table:

Custom roles

Role	Permission
Admin	Responsible for the system management, but without the management of important data in Storage Server. The custom Admin’s permissions are second only to that of System Admin.
Monitor	Responsible for monitoring the operation system state. All system information can be monitored, but the system and job state of sub-servers are not included.
Operator	Responsible for the management of the backup and restore on the Agent.

Storage Design

Multiple Storage Types

Storage media is used to store various backup data. ADPS supports common storage types such as disk storage, tape storage, object storage and CD storage. You can create different storage pools for users.

• Disk storage

  When the disk storage media is mounted to the operating system, the file system is formatted as XFS or ZFS, and the backup data is saved to the file system. You can create the following types of disk storage pools:

Disk storage

Type	Description	Note
Standard storage pool	Used to store the backup data of traditional backup types.	-
De-duplication storage pool	Used to store the backup data of traditional backup types. When the data is sharded and the fingerprint is calcultated using the source de-duplication, the data blocks with different fingerprints will be saved.	The file system of the disk requires the XFS format.
Real-time backup pool	Used to store the Oracle and MySQL continuous backups.	-
File synthetic pool	Used to store the File, Hadoop, and OBS synthetic backups. Storage Server mounts the backup sets to Agent via NFS for a fast restore.	The fast restore requires adps-nfs module installed.
Database synthetic pool	Used to store Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL synthetic backups. Storage Server provides block devices for Agent via iSCSI/FC Target, takes snapshots of the block devices, and mounts the snapshots directly to Agent for a fast restore.	The file system of the disk requires the ZFS format. Require adps-storaged-lanfree module installed.
LAN-Free pool	The backup data is transfered to the LAN-Free pool over SAN. Stoarge Server mounts block devices to the Agent via iSCSI/FC Target to write or read data directly.	The file system of the disk requires the ZFS format. Require adps-storaged-lanfree module installed.

• Tape storage

  The storage media connect tape libraries or virtual tape libraries to the tape controller (adps-controller installation required). You can scan the connected tape library on the corresponding page and create tape library pools to store the backup data.

Tape storage

Type	Description	Note
Tape library pool	Used to store the backup data from traditional backup types. The data is backed up directly to tape library (D2T).	The management of tape library require adps-controller installed.

• Object storage

  Object storage is secure and convenient. By using object storage service pool, the backup data on Agent can be stored directly to the cloud (D2C). Enter parameters such as vendor, access key, secret key, etc. to create an object storage service pool.

Object storage

Type	Description	Note
Object storage service pool	Used to store the backup data of traditional backup types. The data is backed up directly to the cloud (D2C).	-

Flexible Pool Recycling Strategies

The data in storage pools have a well-tried life cycle management. You can set the recycling strategy according to the storage time, space and other conditions to achieve the recycling of storage space effectively.

Supported retention policies are as the followings :

Flexible Pool Recycling Strategies

Retention policy	Strategy	Description
Time policy	Backup sets retention days	When the full backups of each resource are completed, the backup sets of both incremental backups (depending on full backups) and log backups will be marked as expired together when their retention days exceed the set days.
Space policy	Backup sets retention quota	When the total size of the backup sets in the pool exceeds the set retention quota, the backup sets of the earliest full backups, incremental backups (depending on full backups) and log backups will be marked as expired together.
Time and space policy	Backup sets retention days, backup sets retention quota	If you set the retention days and retention quota, the backup sets will be marked as expired as long as either set condition is met.

Delay delete backup sets: You can delay the deletion of expired backup sets by checking this option.

• When the option is checked, the earliest expired backup sets will be deleted to free up space when the disk space usage exceeds 90%. (The percentage can be modified in Storage->Storage Server->Modify)

• When the option is unchecked, backup sets in the storage pool will be deleted to free up space when they become expired.

Min full backups retention: Set the minimum number of full backup sets retained for each resource in the storage pool. The default minimum is 1. Incremental and differential backup sets that depend on these full backups are retained at the same time. When the number of full backup sets exceeds the set value, the recycling will start according to the configured retention policies of the storage pool.

Refer to the following example to configure the minimum value:

• User environment: The current business data is 20 TB and the storage space is about 140 TB (36 * 4 TiB). Assume that the daily increment is 0.01 TB, the annual increment is 40%, and you want to back up these data to one storage pool.

• Backup schedule: Full backup once a week on Sunday and incremental backup once a day.

• Retention policy: When you uncheck Delay Delete Backup Sets option and set the Min Full Backups Retention to 1, seven copies (140/20 = 7) exist in one storage pool. Since the maximum retention days of backup sets cannot exceed 2 months, it is recommended to set the Backup Sets Retention Days option to 45.

Allocate storage space: When you check Multi-storage option, you must allocate storage space to the storage pool. The allocated storage space refers to the the amount of storage space that backup sets are allowed to use. If the allocated space has been used up, no further backups can be made to the storage server.

2. Set the options including advanced options for the standard storage pool.

Backup sets retention policy: You can choose time policy, space policy, and time and space policy.

• Time policy: This policy only shows the **Backup sets retention days **option.

  • Backup sets retention days: Set the retention days for backup sets in this pool. The default value is 30 days. 0 means no restriction on the retention days.

• Space policy: This policy only shows the option Backup sets retention quota option.

  • Backup sets retention quota: Set the retention quota for backup sets in this pool. 10 GiB is retain by default. 0 means no restriction on the retention quota.

• Time and space policy: This policy shows both the Backup sets retention days and Backup sets retention quota options.

  • If you enter 0 in both options, the Backup Sets Retention Policy of the pool you added on the Storage Pool page displays as “Unlimited”.

  • If you enter 0 in one of the options, the Backup Sets Retention Policy of the pool you added on the Storage Pool page shows the value you entered.

  • If you enter values in both the options, the Backup Sets Retention Policy of the pool you added on the Storage Pool page displays as “XX days or XX GiB/PiB” you entered.

Delay delete backup sets: If the option is unchecked, the backup sets in the pool will be deleted as soon as it expires. If you check this option, the expired backup sets in the pool will not be deleted immediately and the backup sets can still be used to restore.

• When the disk space usage exceeds 90%, the earliest expired backup sets will be deleted first to keep the disk space usage below 90%.

• For the pool with the multi-storage feature, only the earliest expired backup sets are deleted to free up the storage space when all allocated storage space are used up.

Min full backups retention: Set the number of full backup sets that each resource will retain at least when the pool recycling strategy triggers.

• Advanced options:

Data storage encryption: If you enable this option, the transfer and storage of backup sets will be encrypted. Select Encryption Algorithm, Cipher Length, and Encryption Mode after the option is enabled.

• The encryption algorithms available are AES and SM4.

• The cipher length available under AES encryption algorithm are 128, 192, and 256.

• For Encryption Mode, AES encryption algorithm supports CTR and OFB; SM4 encryption algorithm supports OFB.

3. Set the name for the pool and assign the pool to the user group. Click Submit.

   

   Name: Customize the name of the pool and the name cannot be repeated.

   User group: Select users to have permission of the pool. Only the resources and users under the user group have permissions to use the pool.

Backup Index

Catalog backup allows to retain information about users, user groups, storage pools, backup sets, etc. It is generally used in combination with storage pool replication for backup server local/offsite disaster recovery, backup server migration and other scenarios.

Disaster Recovery

Catalog backup can be used for the local and off-site disaster recovery, requiring that the recovery target host and the storage server that stores the Catalog backup sets can communicate with each other.

Off-site Disaster Recovery

Deploy one server each locally and offsite, the network is made isolated and the servers can communicate with each other. Both servers are installed with backup server and storage server to recover the backup sets of local agent’s resources in offsite.

1. Add two storage pools belonged to local and offsite storage servers respectively, and set the storage pool replication that replicates from local to offsite.

   

2. Set the Backup Schedule that the Catalog will be backed up periodically to the local storage pool.

   

3. Create backup jobs of resources to a local storage pool.

4. Index Disaster Recovery

   • Log in to the offsite backup server as System Admin, go to the Settings->Settings page and click Index->Disaster Recovery.

   • If the Catalog backup sets are stored in a standard storage pool, de-duplication storage pool, or tape library pool, you can enter the IP address of the offsite storage server (i.e., the storage server where the target storage pool is located) and select Restore by Scanning as the Restore Source. When restoring, select the Point-in-Time that needs to recover, which is related to the range of backup sets that the resource is allowed to restore. The resource can only restore the backup sets that have been replicated to the target storage pool prior to this point in time.

     

   • If backup sets are stored in the object storage service pool, you can restore it by selecting Restore by Entering the URL Directly as the Restore Source. When restoring, you need to fill in the s3 object storage path where the Catalog backup sets are located, and enter the Access Key and Secret Key.

     

   Note:

   • After the recovery is completed, you need to restart the backup server manually.

5. Apply for a license: The Index Disaster Recovery only keeps licenses for activated resources and does not restore all applied licenses. After registering the agent on the offsite backup server, you need to apply licenses for the resources on the offsite agent.

6. Deploy an offsite agent and associate it to an offsite backup server.

7. Set both the local agent and offsite agent to a same user group.

8. Create restore jobs: Log in to the backup server as the operator, go to the Restore page, select the local agent and resources, select the backup sets, select the resources on the offsite agent for the restore target, and create the restore job.

Note:

• There are two portals for index recovery on the offsite host. Index recovery on authorized systems is available on the Setup page. Index recovery on unauthorized system is available on the product activation page.

Local Disaster Recovery

In case there is a backup server disaster, you can deploy a new backup server to restore the system to normal state by restoring the index.

1. Deploy a new backup server, set the IP as the IP of the backup server that occurs disaster, and ensure that the new backup server can communicate properly with the target storage pool of the pool replication.

   • The IP of the new backup server is different from that of the old backup server. Before repairing the source pool, you need to enter the Storage -> Storage Pool page, select the storage pool record of the old storage server (old backup server), modify the address of the new storage pool device and then repair the storage pool.

   • After repairing the source pool, all agents need to be reconfigured to the new backup server before the backup and restore system can resume normal operation.

   • It is recommended that you set the IP be consistent with the old backup server IP to reduce the loss caused by misoperation.

2. Index Disaster Recovery

   • Log in to the local backup server as System Admin, go to the Settings->Settings page and click Index->Disaster Recovery.

   • If the index backup sets are stored in a standard storage pool, de-duplication storage pool, or tape library pool, you can enter the IP address of the offsite storage server (i.e., the storage server where the target storage pool is located) and select Restore by Scanning as the Restore Source. When restoring, select the latest Point-in-Time to minimize the impact caused by data loss.

     

   • If the backup sets are stored in the object storage service pool, you can restore it by selecting Restore by Entering the URL Directly as the Restore Source. When restoring, you need to fill in the s3 object storage path where the catalog backup sets are located and enter the Access Key and Secret Key.

     

   Note:

   • After the recovery is completed, you need to restart the backup server manually.

3. Repair Source Pool

   Log in to the backup server as System Admin, enter the Storage -> Storage Pool page, click the Pool Replication List icon, select the storage pool record of the old storage server (old backup server), click the Repair Source Pool icon to repair the source pool. It is recommended to perform a full backup of all resources after repairing the source pool to ensure the continuity of the backup sets in the future.

   

   Note:

   • Repairing the source pool only restores the database records from the source storage pool and does not restore the backup sets. To create a restore job, you should restore the relevant backup sets by pool replicating them first before restoring them.

   • Instead of repairing the source pool, you can also set to restore the backup sets directly from the target storage pool.

4. Apply for a license

   • The index’s disaster recovery to different host only retains licenses for activated resources and does not restore all requested licenses. If you need to license a new agent or a new resource, you need to reapply for a license.

5. After completing the above operations, ADPS will resume normal state.

Backup

After you configure the Backup Schedule, click the Backup button on the Index page, and the top right corner will show Submission Succeeded, indicating that an Catalog backup is performed immediately to the storage pool configured in the backup schedule. While the backup is in progress, the Backup button will show the loading state.

Restore

You can restore the index backup of the current backup server.

1. After you configure the schedule, the Index page will show the Restore button.

2. Click the Restore button, you can see the index backup records of the current backup server.

   

3. Select a record and click Submit to restore.

Backup Schedule

1. Set the Backup Schedule on Index page.

2. Select the Storage Pool. Backup index supports backing up to standard storage pool, de-duplication storage pool, tape library pool, and object storage service pool. If the selected storage pool is configured with the storage pool replication, the backup sets of the index will also be replicated to the target storage pool.

3. Set the Retention Days. The retention policy for the index backup sets. Both the Retention Days of the index backup sets and the Retention Policy of the storage pool are in effect for the index backup sets, and the backup sets will expire when one of the set retention days or the retention policy of the storage pool is reached.

4. Set the Start Time. The time when the backup schedule starts to execute.

Note:

• The Start Time is the start time of the Backup Schedule. When you set the Start Time earlier than the current time, the backup schedule will start at the next day’s scheduled start time.

• The Start Time is not equal to the backup server time on the interface page, the backup server time on the interface page is only the time of the browser device, and the Start Time is based on the real time of the backup server.

5. Set the Execution Interval to perform a backup at a scheduled execution interval.

6. Click Modify to submit the Backup Schedule.

Restore Schedule

Restore Schedule, the periodic restore of the backup index, is used to recover the backup index with recovery testing, and verify the availability and integrity of the index backup sets.

1. Click Restore Schedule on Index page.

   

2. Enter the storage pool address of the backup server where the index backup is made, in the format such as 192.168.83.232. You can enter the storage pool address of the current backup server, as well as the storage pool address of other backup server.

3. Enter the Start Time, which is the time when the restore schedule starts to execute.

   Note:

   • The Start Time is the start time of the Restore Schedule. When you set the Start Time earlier than the current time, the restore schedule will start at the next day’s scheduled start time.

   • The Start Time is not equal to the backup server time of the Web page, the backup server time of the Web page is only the time of the browser device, the Start Time is based on the real time of the backup server.

4. Enter Execution Interval to execute a restore at every set interval based on the Start Time.

5. Click Modify to submit the Restore Schedule.
