Note: Before continuing with the installation and setup of the DL Backup to Disk Appliance and EqualLogic storage
for off- host backups, refer to the Best Practices and Troubleshooting section located at the end of the document.
Dell EqualLogic iSCSI Storage Arrays
Dell EqualLogic storage solutions deliver the benefits of consolidated network storage in a self-managing iSCSI
storage area network that is affordable and easy to use, regardless of scale. By eliminating complex tasks and
enabling fast and flexible storage provisioning, these solutions dramatically reduce the cost of storage acquisition
and ongoing operations.
The process for configuring the DL Backup to Disk Appliance powered by Symantec Backup Exec for off-host
backups includes:
1. Installing the Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools on the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance
2. Configuring the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance for access to the iSCSI array, and snapshots that are
being protected.
3. Installing the Backup Exec options on the media server and the remote server that is being protected using
off-host backups.
4. Configuring and running off-host backup jobs.
5. Configuring and running restores of data that has been backed up using the off-host backup methodology
