Q-Cloud now directly supports NetBackup and Backup Exec software, enabling both backup applications to stay completely aware of all copies of data backed up to a Q-Cloud DXi® appliance. OST offers backup control across distributed sites and tiers of storage, providing application-aware replication for both NetBackup and Backup Exec. That capability can also leverage the deduplication-powered replication of OST-certified DXi appliances to move data between sites.

As a result of Q-Cloud’s integration with OST, any NetBackup or Backup Exec user has two ways to leverage Q-Cloud:
· Back up locally to a Quantum physical or virtual DXi using NetBackup or Backup Exec and replicate a copy to a DXi appliance in the cloud using Symantec Optimised Duplication (OpDup).
· Use Symantec OST together with Quantum’s free DXi Accent™ plug-in to back up directly to Q-Cloud, in cases where there is not a local DXi appliance.

DXi Accent deduplicates the data on the backup server and sends only new unique data to Q-Cloud. This approach eliminates the cost of on-premise hardware at remote locations, minimises WAN costs, provides visibility from the backup application to the backup in the cloud, and enables backups to be stored securely and reliably in the cloud.

The combination of OST and Q-Cloud enables customers to build an archive in Q-Cloud, and restore files directly from a Q-Cloud copy even after the local copy has expired or been moved.
