That being said, it&#8217;s introduced some excellent new features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>VMAX SmartSnap integration \u2013\u00a0the ability to backup and restore a VMAX device\u00a0based on the device WWN, increasing\u00a0the depth of snapshot support in NetWorker further.<\/li>\n<li>Snapshot Alternate Location Rollback \u2013 this lets you do a snapshot rollback, but to a different set of devices.<\/li>\n<li>Data Domain High\u00a0Availability integration \u2013 Data Domain now supports high-availability on the\u00a0earlier 9500 platform, in addition to the 9800, 9300 and 6800 systems. And\u00a0with v9.1, NetWorker fully understands and integrates with DDHA platforms.<\/li>\n<li>Cloud Tier Integration \u2013 NetWorker gets deep integration into the Cloud Tier functionality introduced in Data Domain OS 6.0. This lets\u00a0NetWorker cloning policies control the migration of data out to the\u00a0Cloud Tier, and more seamlessly integrate with\u00a0the recall process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cloud Tier integration is more than just a tick in the box to though.\u00a0Consider the module space \u2013 NetWorker Module for\u00a0Microsoft Applications, for instance,\u00a0doesn&#8217;t just get the option to\u00a0recover data from Cloud Tier, but also perform\u00a0<em>granular<\/em> recoveries from Cloud Tier \u2013 SQL table level recoveries and Exchange granular recoveries as well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>By the way, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/2016\/11\/30\/networker-2016-usage-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\">NetWorker Usage Survey is still running<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 don&#8217;t forget to fill in how you&#8217;re using NetWorker! (And be in the running for a prize.)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;ve saved the best \u2013 and biggest \u2013 feature for last, though. This is a doozy.\u00a0<em>Say goodbye to needing a\u00a0EBR\/VBA<\/em> for VMware backups. That EBR\/VBA\u00a0functionality is now embedded in the\u00a0NetWorker server itself, leaving you to just deploy some very lightweight proxies to handle\u00a0the data transport processes, all\u00a0controlled by NetWorker.<\/p>\n<p>The current\u00a0EBR appliance and proxies will continue to work with NetWorker 9.1, but I can&#8217;t think of anyone who&#8217;d want to upgrade to 9.1 without rapidly transitioning to the new platform. Here are just\u00a0<em>some<\/em> of the advantages of the new process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Less\u00a0virtual infrastructure required \u2013 no EBRs<\/li>\n<li>Virtual machines stored in raw VMDK file \u2013 no additional processing required for the backup, and this will also mean faster instant access processes, too<\/li>\n<li>The FLR web GUI now runs on the NetWorker server itself<\/li>\n<li>NMC can be used for FLR instead of the web GUI, making it more accessible to the NetWorker administrators if they don&#8217;t have access to the virtual machines being protected<\/li>\n<li>Proxies support more concurrent virtual machine backups:\n<ul>\n<li>Maximum 25 concurrent hotadd operations;<\/li>\n<li>Maximum 25 concurrent NBD operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Significantly increased File Level Recovery (FLR) counts from VMware Image Level Backups (<em>recommended<\/em> 20,000 \u2013 more on that in a minute)<\/li>\n<li>Significantly <em>faster<\/em> FLR operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, I&#8217;m going to spend a little bit of time on FLR for this post, and\u00a0step through the new NMC-based FLR process to give you an overview of the process.
