4 Introduction To date, many companies are still using a Tape Library to store backups in their IT infrastructure, since this is a fairly cheap and simple way to store data. Nevertheless, it also has certain drawbacks, such as increased data access time, potential media issues, management complexity, etc. Over recent years, the price trends for HDDs have decreased significantly. Thus, it s no wonder that HDDs keep garnering more interest as a means for storing backups. StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a software solution that allows you to emulate physical Tape Libraries while storing data on the hard disk drives. The solution targets companies that want to completely quit using the physical Tape Library, as well as simplify and accelerate the process of data backup and recovery. This guide is intended for IT professionals and experienced StarWind users who want to integrate StarWind Virtual Tape Library in their infrastructure. The guide provides a step-bystep guidance on how to configure the StarWind Virtual Tape Library, deploy it in Amazon Web Services, integrate it with the Microsoft and use it further as the storage solution for backups and recovery in the Amazon cloud storage. A full set of up-to-date technical documentation can always be found here, or by pressing the Help button in the StarWind Management Console.

5 What is Virtual Tape Library Virtual Tape Library is a data storage virtualization technology, usually used as a backup storage device. The solution allows to present various storage devices (usually hard disks) to the system as tape drives or tape libraries and thereby make them compatible with the existing backup systems. What is Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2016 Microsoft (SCDPM) is a Microsoft software product designed to manage the enterprise backup and recovery system. You can find more information on the SCDPM capabilities following the link. Prerequisites Before you start the deployment process, make sure your infrastructure meets the following requirements: An Amazon Web Service (AWS) subscription; Ability to set up a VPN connection between a VM with StarWind VTL deployed in AWS and a SCDPM VM deployed in your infrastructure. Use the following procedures to set up the VPN connection in the AWS. TECHNICAL PAPER 5

If necessary, install the driver for the VTL you have selected, in our case it's HP MSL8096. To download the drivers, follow this link. 31. Once the drivers are installed, the VTL components should look like on the screenshot: TECHNICAL PAPER 21
22 Adding VTL to SCDPM 32. Launch the Microsoft System Center 2016 Data Protection Manager. In case SCDPM has not automatically discovered VTL, go to the "Management -> Libraries" and click on the "Rescan" icon. 33. Now our VTL must appear in the SCDPM Administrator Console. TECHNICAL PAPER 22
23 34. To use the available Tapes, identify them at first. Select the required Tapes and click the "Identify" icon. 35. Once the identification process is completed, the "Tape Label" will be changed to "Free". TECHNICAL PAPER 23
24 Creating Protection Group 36. Now we have everything set up to create a Protection Group. To do this, go to the "Protection" section and click the "New" button, then click "Next". 37. Select the clients or servers you want to protect and click "Next". NOTE: To access the servers that you want to protect, you must have the SCDPM Agent installed on them. TECHNICAL PAPER 24
25 38. Enter the Protection group name and select "Tape" type for short-term protection. Click "Next". 39. Specify the parameters you need for Short-Term Protection, such as Retention range, Frequency of backup and Backup mode. Also, make sure you have configured the backup schedule (s) and click "Next". TECHNICAL PAPER 25
26 40. Specify the parameters necessary for Long-Term Protection and click "Next. 41. Specify the number of allocated drives, in our case we have 4 of them since HP MSL8096 supports 4 drives. Select the necessary tape options for short-term and long-term protection and click "Next". TECHNICAL PAPER 26
27 42. Next, click Create Group to complete the process Upon completion, you will see that the Protection Group is successfully created. Click "Close". TECHNICAL PAPER 27
28 44. Go to the "Protection" section to see information about the created Protection Group. 45. In case you want to run a backup without waiting for the automatic execution of this operation, right-click on the required Protection Group element and select "Create recovery point..." option. 46. Specify Short term tape protection for recovery point and click OK. TECHNICAL PAPER 28
29 47. The backup process starts. The time it will take depends on the network bandwidth and the speed of the disk the backup is being made to. 48. Once the process is completed, you can see in the "Monitoring" section that the backup creation was successful. 49. You can also see information on the backup size in the StarWind Management Console. TECHNICAL PAPER 29
30 Restoring data from the VTL 50. We have successfully created the backup. Now, let's see how to restore backed up data from the VTL. To do this, go to the "Recovery" section, select the item to be restored, right-click on it and click "Show all recovery points". 51. Select the required Recovery Point and click "Recover...". TECHNICAL PAPER 30
31 52. Check the recovery information and click Next. 53. Select the required Recovery Type and click "Next". In our case, we will use the second option. TECHNICAL PAPER 31
32 54. Specify the destination host where you want to recover the data and the destination path, click "Next". 55. Select the required Tape Library, in our case it is "Hewlett Packard MSL G3 Series library" and click "Next". TECHNICAL PAPER 32
33 56. Next, review the summary information. If everything is correct, click the "Recover" button. NOTE: When restoring data from a tape, DPM uses a scratch space before it delivers the data to the selected data source. It is very important that your DPM %systemdrive% server has more than 10 GB of free disk space. DPM supports Item-Level Recovery (ILR), which allows you to perform a specific recovery of files, folders, volumes and virtual hard disks from a host-level backup of Hyper- V virtual machines to a network share or a volume on a DPM protected server. However, ILR is not supported when you restore from tapes, and you can only restore an entire VM or a single virtual hard disk. 57. The recovery from the backup begins. TECHNICAL PAPER 33
34 58. After the process is finished, we should see that the recovery was successful. 59. Now we can go to the Hyper-V Manager of the server we have restored data to and verify that the VM has been restored correctly. TECHNICAL PAPER 34
35 Configuring tape optimization for DPM 60. To enable multiple Protection Groups to share a backup tape, use the tape optimization feature. To do this, go to the "Management -> Libraries" tab in the SCDPM Administrator Console and click on the "Optimize usage" icon. 61. Next, select the required Protection Group and click "Create". TECHNICAL PAPER 35
36 62. Enter a name for optimization setup, check or uncheck the box "Do not allow backups of the different retention periods to co-locate on the same tape" and click "OK". Configuring DPM for the short erase tape feature 63. When you need to erase the Tape, the SCDPM will by default perform a long erase and usually the process can take a long time. To speed up this process, you can use a short erase. The short erase runs faster, but does NOT erase data from the tape. If you still decide to perform a short erase, open Registry Editor, go to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Microsoft Data Protection Manager \ Agent" branch and create a new DWORD value named UseShortErase with the value Once that is done, reboot the server. TECHNICAL PAPER 36
37 64. To erase Tape, open the SCDPM Administration Console, go to "Management -> Libraries". Right-click on the required Tape and select "Erase tape". 65. The results of Tape erase can be seen on the screenshot below. The "Tape Label" value should be changed to "Free". TECHNICAL PAPER 37
