Introduction 1<br />
OpenStorage (<strong>OST</strong>) is a feature of <strong>Symantec</strong>’s Veritas NetBackup backup and recovery product.<br />
<strong>OST</strong> integrates NetBackup with disk backup devices, such as <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Domain</strong> systems. <strong>OST</strong> enables<br />
NetBackup media servers to communicate with disk devices without having to emulate tape used<br />
by virtual tape libraries (VTL).<br />
The NetBackup system sets policies that control when backups occur while the storage devices<br />
control data deduplication, replication, and compression. Administrators manage backup,<br />
replication, and restores from a single NetBackup console and can use all of <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Domain</strong>’s<br />
intelligent features, including WAN-efficient replicator software. NetBackup manage all images<br />
(collections of data) in the NetBackup catalog, even if the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Domain</strong> system creates the images.<br />
In the typical <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Domain</strong> <strong>OST</strong> configuration shown below, each media server is running a<br />
different (supported) operating system.<br />
