Audience This guide is intended for administrators who want to deploy PowerProtect Data Manager to a Microsoft Azure cloud in order to protect application hosts by backing up their application data.

Administrators should be familiar with the following Azure-related technology and concepts:

The Azure Marketplace Virtual machines and appliances Storage Virtual networks The Azure Resource Manager

Azure documentation and Azure Resource Manager documentation provides more information about Microsoft Azure.

PowerProtect Data Manager on Azure You use a Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template to deploy a virtual appliance with PowerProtect Data Manager to an Azure cloud.

PowerProtect Data Manager for Azure provides protection for cloud-based assets such as the following:

10 Getting Started

Oracle, SQL, and SAP HANA databases Virtual machines in Azure VMware Solution on Azure Kubernetes clusters deployed to Azure

NOTE: If you use SAP HANA, ensure the Azure virtual machine hosting the agent has its fully qualified domain name

(FQDN) added to its/etc/hosts file. For more information, see the PowerProtect Data Manager SAP HANA User Guide

at Customer Support.

Unsupported features Familiarize yourself with those features that are not supported when deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to Azure.

With the exception of the following, PowerProtect Data Manager on Azure supports all features supported by on-premises PowerProtect Data Manager and PowerProtect Data Manager deployed to AVS on Azure:

Microsoft Exchange Server Cloud Disaster Recovery Search Clusters Backing up and restoring virtual machines with the Transparent Snapshot Data Mover (TSDM)

PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE In order to function in an Azure environment, PowerProtect Data Manager requires that DD Virtual Edition (DDVE) also be present.

DDVE is a software-only protection storage appliance: a virtual deduplication appliance that provides data protection for entry, enterprise, and service-provider environments. Like any PowerProtect DD System, DDVE is always paired with backup software.

When you deploy PowerProtect Data Manager to Azure, DDVE can be deployed to Azure at the same time. You can also deploy DDVE to Azure outside of the PowerProtect Data Manager deployment process. For more information, see PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition in Azure Installation and Administration Guide at Customer Support.

Azure data-transfer costs Microsoft charges a monthly fee based on the amount and types of data transferred by PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE in an Azure cloud.

Consider the following information when planning your Azure architecture:

Most of the data that is transferred in an Azure cloud occurs between the hosts being protected and DDVE. If Kubernetes is being used, data is also transferred between the protection engine hosts and DDVE. Microsoft does not have data-transfer fees for hosts that are in the same region. For current details of all Microsoft data-transfer costs and other fees, see Bandwidth Pricing Details and the Pricing

Calculator.

NOTE: To minimize data-transfer costs, minimize the path that data transfers take by using as few availability zones and

regions as possible.

An example of data transfer

The following items describe a possible data-protection scenario where the hosts being protected and storage are in different regions:

Outbound data transfers in the Central US region Twenty 100 GB databases that each have a daily change rate of 5 percent Weekly full backups Daily incremental backups and archived-log backups An average deduplication ratio of 2:1 for initial full backups and for incremental backups An average deduplication ratio of between 20:1 and 30:1 for subsequent full backups

Getting Started 11

This data-protection scenario would result in approximately 3,600 GB of data transfer in the first month.

NOTE: Different regions have different data-transfer costs.

Architecture overview Access to PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE is managed by virtual network (VNet) service endpoints and their policies, as well as by network and application security groups. DDVE uses blob containers to store the backed up data of virtual appliances and virtual machines deployed to Azure. For more information about this, see the following Microsoft articles:

Virtual network service endpoint policies for Azure Storage Network security groups Application security groups Quickstart: Upload, download, and list blobs with the Azure portal

PowerProtect Data Manager deploys with a private IP address. For access from an external site, configure a VPN connection.

The following diagram represents the basic architecture of PowerProtect Data Manager on Azure. The diagram shows a possible distribution of PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE in one private subnet, and application hosts in another.

NOTE: For security considerations, deploy PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE to a private subnet.

Figure 1. Basic PowerProtect Data Manager architecture

12 Getting Started

Sensitive PowerProtect Data Manager data, such as passwords, is encrypted and stored in a lockbox. For more information about PowerProtect Data Manager security, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide at Customer Support.

Control and Data Paths

The following diagram shows the transfer of data between PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE and application hosts. This network traffic composes the majority of data transferred in an Azure cloud.

Figure 2. Paths

DDVE and the replication of data between private subnets.

The following diagram shows the replication of data between private subnets as well as the transfer of data during regular operations. It also shows application hosts distributed between public and private subnets.

Getting Started 13

NOTE: To deploy additional instances of DDVE to Azure outside of the PowerProtect Data Manager deployment process,

see the PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition in Azure Installation and Administration Guide at Customer Support

Figure 3. Replication

PowerProtect Data Manager policies and DDVE

If a different DDVE instance is in each region or availability zone, ensure that PowerProtect Data Manager policies are configured to protect all the hosts in the same region or availability zone as each DDVE instance.

Terminology Familiarize yourself with the terminology for the PowerProtect Data Manager user interface and documentation.

The following table provides more information about names and terms that you should know to use PowerProtect Data Manager:

Table 7. Term list

Term Description

Application agent Application agents are installed on application or database host servers to manage protection using PowerProtect Data Manager. These agents are commonly known as DD Boost Enterprise Agents (DDBEAs) for databases and applications.

Application-aware A virtual machine protection policy that includes additional application-aware data protection for Microsoft SQL Servers. An application-aware virtual machine protection policy provides the ability to quiesce the application during virtual machine image backup to perform a full backup of Microsoft SQL Server databases. You can also schedule Microsoft SQL Server log backups for the virtual machines in the policy.

Asset Assets are objects in PowerProtect Data Manager for which you want to manage protection, including virtual machines, databases, and file systems.

Asset source Assets that PowerProtect Data Manager protects reside within asset sources, which include vCenter servers, application or database hosts, and file servers.

Cloud Tier storage Cloud Tier storage can be added to a protection storage system to expand the deduplication storage capacity onto less expensive object storage in public or private object storage clouds, including Dell EMC secure Elastic Cloud Storage appliances.

Copy A PowerProtect Data Manager copy is a point-in-time backup copy of an asset.

Copy Map The PowerProtect Data Manager Copy Map is a visual representation of backup copy locations on your protection storage and is available for all protected assets that have copies.

Discovery Discovery is an internal process that scans asset sources to find new assets to protect and scans infrastructure components to monitor their health and status.

Instant Access PowerProtect Data Manager virtual machine backup copies can be accessed, mounted, and booted directly from the protection storage targets as running virtual machines. This operation is called Instant Access. Copies can also be moved to a production VMware datastore using vMotion. PowerProtect Data Manager Virtual machine application-aware backup copies can be mounted directly from protection storage as running Microsoft SQL Server databases, which includes the ability to roll forward log backups. These Microsoft SQL Server database disks can also be moved to a production VMware datastore using vMotion.

PowerProtect Data Manager agent

An agent that is included in PowerProtect Data Manager and installed on each application agent host server so that you can monitor and manage the application agent through PowerProtect Data Manager.

Protection policy Protection policies configure and manage the entire life cycle of backup data, which includes backup types, assets, backup start and stop times, backup devices, and backup retention.

Service-level agreement (SLA) An optional policy that you can layer on top of a protection policy. An SLA performs additional checks on protection activities to ensure that protection goals meet the standards of an organization. SLAs are made up of one or more service-level objectives.

Service-level objective (SLO) A definable rule that sets the criteria for recovery-point objectives (RPOs), encryption, and the location of backups according to company requirements.

Configuring DDVE and storage For information on how to configure DDVE and storage, see the following publications that are available at Customer Support:

PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition in Azure Installation and Administration Guide PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide

Configuring and monitoring system health For information on how to configure and monitor system health, and how to configure and monitor alerts, jobs, and tasks, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide at Customer Support

Configuring disaster recovery PowerProtect Data Manager can be configured to automatically back up critical servers on a periodic basis. This protects your infrastructure from catastrophic data loss.

It is recommended to enable DD MTree replication on a local DDVE instance so that the disaster-recovery data is replicated to a DDVE instance in a different region or Availability Zone. Such an infrastructure enhances existing data-protection schemes.

When configured, the RPO of server disaster-recovery backups is a maximum of one hour, and the RTO of server disaster recovery is approximately 45 minutes, depending on the amount of data recovered. Even if PowerProtect Data Manager server disaster-recovery backups are up to an hour old, the system will attempt to synchronize any backups that occurred between the last backup and the time of failure.

For more information about how to prepare for and recover from a disaster, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide at Customer Support:

26 Configuration

Deploying SupportAssist to Azure You can deploy SupportAssist by using a gateway or a direct connection. To deploy SupportAssist to Azure using a gateway connection, you must deploy a SupportAssist container in a Linux or Windows host that is using Docker to Azure.

For more information, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide at Customer Support

Using SSH You can use SSH to access the PowerProtect Data Manager virtual appliance on Azure.

PowerProtect Data Manager on Azure supports two methods of SSH access. You can use password-based SSH, or you can use the private key from the key pair assigned to the instance when PowerProtect Data Manager was deployed.

For example:

ssh -i data_manager_private_key username@10.2.1.5 In this example, username is the administrator username that was specified when PowerProtect Data Manager was deployed.

For more information, see Detailed Steps: Create and Manage SSH Keys for Authentication to a Linux VM in Azure.
