Design And Implementation Of Management Console Of Network Backup System

As the information technology and network technology developing rapidly, the survival of enterprise has become more and more dependent on the computer data. Many companies spend much money to buy the data backup system for the data protection. Moreover, as the backup product and the user needs varies continuously, a lot of enterprises find that the management of the backup platform is very complicated and difficult, and thus how to automatically manage the backup platform to protect their whole systems becomes the highest level requirements for those enterprises.Based on the survey of the data protection management (DPM), including its basic concept and popular software, this paper first introduces the management model used in the network backup system and the overall system architecture of our developed information management system based on the web interface, and further details its development platform and the analyses of the B/S control fashion advantages over C/S control fashion in designing the information management systems. Moreover, we present three key technologies, the collection of entity information, the composing of timely report, and the management of network backup system, to show how to design the information management system by the proposed management model. On the entity information collection, we mainly focus on the information existing in the catalog database and backup server. While at the same time, we detail how to compose a timely report and how to manage the jobs, volumes, storage devices and operating logs in network backup systems. Finally, we make an analysis on the risks and bottlenecks of our centralized metadata management in network backup systems, and further build a distributed database scheme to store the metadata information, thus solving the bottleneck problem and improving the system reliability and robustness.
