For organizations running large Qumulo environments, backup performance often depends on how quickly changed files can be identified. In very large file estates, traditional backup methods can spend a long time simply identifying changed files before the backup itself even begins. This makes frequent backups difficult and puts achievable RPO (Recovery Point Objective) at risk – in other words, the amount of data you can afford to lose between backups.
How it works
While Qumulo is built for extremely large file estates, that same scale often challenges traditional backup methods. The Yuzuy plugin addresses this by detecting changes much faster than a conventional filesystem scan. Instead, it uses Qumulo’s native snapshot technology to identify changed data in a fraction of the time otherwise required.
For anyone with a lot of data, the benefit is clear: your backups can start much sooner, your data is better protected, and the whole process becomes much more efficient.
Built for the Enterprise
The integration isn’t just about speed, it is built for the complexities of large storage environments:
- Permission Support: It supports backup and restore of multiprotocol permissions, helping ensure that important access-control information is preserved correctly.
- Performance Optimized: The plugin is performance-optimized for Qumulo.
- Practical Scaling: For organizations protecting large-scale file environments, this offers a more focused and commercially practical option than many traditional enterprise backup platforms.
