Abstract: An illustrative air-gapped data storage site for storing secure copies at the air-gapped storage site. Using specialized air-gapped media agents installed within the air-gapped storage pool site, the illustrative system, at an unpredictable time, establishes a one-way tunnel from secondary storage site to air-gapped site to receive backup copies of the data stored at primary site. In another embodiment, during disaster recovery, backup copies stored within the air-gapped site are replicated to a non-air gapped site (e.g., secondary storage pools) as “tertiary copies.” Those copies are then restored to the primary site in original application data formats for quick recovery. As restoration of data is complete, the tertiary copies are promoted to “secondary copies” to receive incremental backups.

Abstract: The smart network topology systems and methods of the present disclosure are aimed at easing network administrator efforts in configuring network configurations to suit their network environment. For instance, the smart network topology system may provide predefined network topology types that an administrator can use when setting up network connectivity between client devices and other network devices such as media agents, storage servers, and the like. Further, the smart network topology system provides the user with a way to customize the routes created between the client computing devices and storage computing devices such that each client computing device is configured to communicate with only those storage computing devices that the client computing device needs to communicate with to perform one or more data protection operations.
