But there are solutions that make tree walks a thing of the past. Qumulo tackled this challenge by releasing a petabyte-scale backup solution in partnership with leading data protection company Commvault to simplify the file data backup and recovery process, with features designed to facilitate easy deployment and management. In the latest release of Commvault Backup & Recovery, the data awareness capabilities in Qumulo Protect have been extended including REST APIs that show which files have changed in real time. This allows backups to begin in mere minutes instead of hours – up to 28 times faster than before. The fully integrated Qumulo and Commvault solution also significantly improves manageability, giving administrators a single view for managing backup and restore jobs, and provides real-time job status at a glance. It's never too early to start thinking about your backup and recovery strategy, but it can definitely be too late.
