NetWorker Overview

NetWorker is EMC's flagship software backup application.  Themain benefit of NetWorker is that it has a large number of application modules to cover a wide range of backup requirements.

NetWorker will back up to tape and disk like traditional backup software, but it also has the ability to integrate with snapshot and replication technology, such as that used by VNX and Symmetrix.  It provides integration with Avamar and Data Domain for deduplication, as well as integrates with VADP for image-level backup of ESX environments.  It also integrates with Data Domain DD Boost and Avamar proxies to accommodate remote office backup.  NetWorker also has the ability to manage remote backup jobs in instances where a complete backup system is in place in other locations.

It provides data security in a future-proof means by utilizing the open tape format for data storage as well.  It is used mainly in large-scale complex deployments of heterogeneous environments.
