About NetBackup for OpenStack

NetBackup for OpenStack provides policy-based protection for OpenStack environments, helping organizations safeguard virtual machines and associated data with efficient full and incremental backups. It supports dynamic workload selection and captures the resources needed for recovery, while writing backup data to NetBackup storage targets and extending retention through NetBackup lifecycle management features.

Customers benefit from flexible recovery options, including full VM recovery, granular recovery, and alternate-cluster restore, along with support for restoring key environment settings such as networks, MAC addresses, security groups, and administrative access details. This helps reduce downtime and simplifies recovery for large-scale OpenStack deployments.

Key benefits include:

  • Scalable protection for large OpenStack environments with efficient backup operations and support for dynamic selection by groups, tags, projects, or regex-based discovery.

  • Multi-tenant management through plug-ins for both Horizon and Skyline consoles, enabling protection workflows from familiar OpenStack management interfaces.

  • Greater storage and operational efficiency through incremental backups, deduplication, and support for NetBackup storage lifecycle policies.

  • Stronger resilience and visibility with support for NetBackup storage targets, Auto Image Replication, cyber resiliency features, and backup reporting.

OpenStack workloads are protected in conjunction with Storware Backup and Recovery. For more information, see https://docs.storware.eu/protecting-virtual-machines/virtual-machines/openstack/.
