Abstract

Information protection is critical to a company's day-to-day operations. In the digital age, data is one of the most important possessions a company owns, and having an efficient and manageable backup and recovery strategy has become an IT imperative. It is very important to safe gaud this data against failure like media failures, mishap data deletes, data corruption etc. It is very important to have well planned backup and recovery mechanism for business continuity, well-designed data protection software is the need of the hour. A well designed protection software try to back up data on a regular schedule chosen by users. At these times they create one or more duplicate or deduplicated copies of the primary data and write it to a new backup file system. In this application we are trying to solve the problem backup of filesystem and databases by developing the web application which will allow the user to schedulers and on demand based robust backup and recovery, User will select applications to be backed up and subscribes to enable backups. It gives options storage repository model to back up the data like native file systems, Hadoop distributed file System HDFS filesystms, any new filesystem can be integrated very easily. In this application we will leverage the ability of HDFS as backup file system.
