About Serverless Backup

Serverless Backup is sometimes referred to as Third Party Copy or Extended Copy (Xcopy). Serverless Backup is a backup architecture in which data flows directly from one storage device to another, bypassing the server. Serverless Backup is made possible when storage devices support the Xcopy commands as specified in the SCSI protocol. The Xcopy command set allows a device to read blocks of data from another compliant device. In a Serverless backup environment the Spectra Logic library reads data from the disk device and writes it directly to tape.

This backup process requires a backup application that has Xcopy functionality. Serverless backups are normally performed in Storage Networking environments since data can be shared by multiple hosts or initiators. The backup application is responsible for determining which blocks on the disk get backed up to tape.

Configuring the F-QIP for Serverless Backup

Setup of Serverless Backup requires the following steps:
