Veritas NetBackup 6.5: Designing and Implementing Backups Using Storage Lifecycle Policies

Veritas NetBackup 6.5 introduces two new features, Data Classifications and Storage Lifecycle Policies, that are intended to simplify the way in which backed-up data is organized. This paper looks at how these features relate to recovery service levels and how they can be deployed to help ensure that backup storage is used cost-effectively while still maintaining appropriate levels of recoverability.
