HBase Overview

You can perform a backup operation on the HBase database using the Hadoop Agent.

The Commvault software provides a single interface to back up all databases and tables in HBase.

Install the Commvault software on a Hadoop DataNode or a Hadoop Client Node. These nodes are referred to as data access nodes.

When you configure HBase, you specify one data access node as a master node. The master node must always be available. The master node is a control client that distributes the backup operations and restore operations among the data access nodes.

Key Features

  • Provides full and incremental application-consistent backups.

  • Handles TB to PB scales of data.

  • Maintains a copy of data for disaster recovery.
