Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) Detailed Service Description

In addition to the General terms above, the following terms apply if you are purchasing Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) from us.

To be eligible for Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) you need an account with Vodafone and a fixed broadband plan with Vodafone.

The Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) use our third party supplier HP’s Autonomy LiveVault product. A LiveVault software module (“LiveVault Agent”), installed on all servers to be backed up, encrypts all data before transferring it from the servers as well as while in transit, and at HP's secure, offsite, datacentres. You can choose for your data to remains encrypted on the optional TurboRestore™ appliance in your data center (additional charges apply for a TurboRestore appliance). To ensure the physical security and availability of stored data, Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) mirror all data to a second, geographically dispersed datacentre, for full failover and redundancy. However, Vodafone has no responsibility or liability for your transmissions of data.

All backed up data is stored in NZ datacentres.

Vodafone reserves the right to suspend the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) if your use of the services materially and adversely affects Vodafone or its suppliers’ operations or delivery of similar services to other customers.

1.Data Protection

Depending upon the configuration option you select, backup configurations may be set to run continuously (up to every 15 minutes for Windows servers) 24 x 7 or to run on a scheduled basis (see section 4 System Requirements for supported configurations). When a backup configuration is running, only changes to files and databases your users have selected for backup on the Protected Server are captured by the LiveVault Agent, encrypted, and sent to the secure data vaults. Queued Changes (as defined in section 4 Deploying the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) below) are sent to the secure data vaults when there is a Valid Connection (as defined in section 5 Bandwidth Requirements below) between the Protected Server and the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) and there are no preceding items waiting to be sent. The Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) retain secured copies of your users’ data for the retention period described in the plans below for so long as the schedule is in effect.

You may subscribe to multiple retention plans, based on your Protected Server fleet and backup requirements for each.

If you are using the continuous backup configuration for Windows servers, historical images of your data are retained based on one of the following retention plans as selected by you during initial configuration. You may initiate restore requests from the LiveVault web management interface for any of the current data sets.

Data Protection Guidelines

Windows Systems

The ‘Standard Backup Guidelines’ are set out below will generally provide acceptable performance and incident-free service in most environments. You should not exceed these maximums without a review of the circumstances and expectations. If you experience problems in your environment, conforming to these guidelines is likely to be required.

Operating SystemData Protected
Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 R21 TB maximum policy size 7 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy
Windows Server 2008 R21 TB maximum policy size 7 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy
Windows Server 2008 64-bit1 TB maximum policy size 5 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy
Windows Server 2008 32-bit1 TB maximum policy size 2 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy
Windows Server 2003 64-bit1 TB maximum policy size 5 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy
Windows Server 2003 32- bit1 TB maximum policy size 2 TB maximum data protected 500,000 maximum number of files per policy

Linux Systems

500 GB recommended maximum policy size.

1 TB recommended maximum data protected.

1,000,000 (1 million) maximum number of files per policy.

The guidelines above will generally provide acceptable performance and incident-free service in most environments, assuming capable hardware and fewer than 1 million files on the system. However, various factors can impact the actual backup performance, including the following:

  • Disk throughput:
  • Number of files on the computer:
  • Number of files open during the file system scan: and
  • Size of the files open during the file system scan.

These and other factors, and your own tolerance for backup times should determine how much data you protect on a single server with the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup).

2.Data Recoverability

Restore Performance

Free Internet-based restores are provided upon your request. The completion time of the restore/recovery will depend on your Internet connection speed, data change rates, and the total amount of data requested. Should Vodafone, as part of its monitoring function, observe any unusual, abnormal, or excessive number of restore requests, Vodafone reserves the right to require you and your users to modify procedures and behaviour in this area.

Restore times over the Internet are limited by your connection bandwidth speed and quality. Data transfer speeds are dependent upon the bandwidth latency between your site and the HP data center(s). Below is a table showing the expected data transfer times based on different network latency figures. As an example if the bandwidth latency time is 50ms, then the maximum possible GB/hr rate “on the wire” is 4.3 GB/hr. Assuming a 2:1 compression, the maximum observed rate would be 8.6GB/hr.

The impact of bandwidth latency with 64K TCP/IP window which assumes you have enough available bandwidth to support the speeds is shown in the table below.

RTT millisecondsGB per hourEquiv Mbps (approx)
3 ms71.8 GB/hour134.6 Mbps

375 ms0.6 GB/hour1.1 Mbps
400 ms0.5 GB/hour1.0 Mbps

Physical Media Restores Device

Restores via a physical media device utilizing disks is supported by the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup). Restores via a media device shall be provided upon your request for an additional fee.

Shipment of a media restore device is dependent on (a) the time the restore request is received and (b) the amount of data being restored.

Delivery is dependent on the shipping method chosen and subject to local courier pickup times.

3.Deploying the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup)

When used in accordance with the following usage requirements and guidelines, Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) provide on-line backup protection for servers that meet the system requirements (section 4). Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) are able to protect applications, open files, open databases, and registry and security information on supported Windows and Unix / Linux machines.

To deploy the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup), you download the LiveVault Agent on to each Protected Server you have registered; the LiveVault Agents can be downloaded (as many as you need, free of charge) from the online Web management portal. LiveVault Agents become billable once installed and connected to the platform. On the 16th of each month the volume of protected data is sampled from each Protected Server. The billable amount is then computed based on the rate for the selected Retention Plan and the volume of protected data.

Once configured and deployed, the LiveVault Agent replicates the selected data in its entirety (“Initial Backup”) to a TurboRestore Appliance (TRA) at your site, if applicable, and to the offsite data storage backup vaults (“LiveVault Server”). After the Initial Backup, only changes to files and databases selected for backup on the Protected Server (the “Changes”) are sent to the local appliance(s) and / or LiveVault Server.

You manage LiveVault through a web management interface that is personalized with your custom content. A dynamic management page shows you the current status of all of your backup and restore jobs, and enables you to make immediate modifications or requests. You may view an inventory of all data files, current and historic, and initiate restores from the web management interface.

4.System Requirements

Each Protected Server must meet the system requirements in order to effectively utilize the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup). These requirements may change from time to time.

In addition, there are other restrictions referenced online at https://livevaultservice.livevault.com/ that you should be aware of relating to the use of certain other software products (such as open file managers and anti-virus software) on Protected Servers.

5.Bandwidth Requirements

The Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) are able to measure the rate at which data on a Protected Server is changing. After a few hours of routine operation, during normal business hours, you will be able to determine the completion time for the Initial Backup and an estimate of bandwidth required for continuous operation of the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup). Bandwidth requirements are based on a combination of rated bandwidth, latency and bandwidth error rates.

LiveVault Changes are sent to the LiveVault Server when there is a Valid Connection between the Protected Server, backup appliance (TRA) and the LiveVault Server. “Valid Connection” means that the bandwidth actually available between the end user’s Protected Server(s) and the LiveVault Server is adequate for the amount of data being protected and the rate of the data changes as discussed below. The bandwidth actually available can be affected by other network traffic into or out of the end user’s premises and may be affected by occasional or intermittent slowdowns or interruptions in the network path(s) to the LiveVault Server. The Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup) will continue operation during brief periods when limited bandwidth is available and will automatically resume operation following network interruptions.

Vodafone estimates that a typical file system will see a daily change rate of 5%. At this change rate, the expected bandwidth requirement is 20 Kbps per protected gigabyte (“GB”). The following table provides an estimate of the upstream bandwidth required to protect various amounts of data:

Total Data Under ProtectionBandwidth (upstream)
6GB128 Kbps
20GB384 Kbps
60GB1.0 Mbps
75GB1.5 Mbps
125GB1.9 Mbps
250GB3.8 Mbps
500GB7.8 Mbps

Highly dynamic servers such as mail servers and active database servers may have additional bandwidth requirements. Higher rates of change will result in a linear increase in bandwidth required.

Increased amounts of protected data, increased rates of data change, other demands for bandwidth, or other factors that contribute to latency may, at a given time, limit the effectiveness of the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup).

6.Initial Protection Time Requirements

The Initial Backup process for each Protected Server must complete before a Protected Server is fully protected by the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup). This process may take several days.

7.SERVICE LEVELS

The following service levels apply to the Cloud Services (Server Cloud Backup):

LiveVault time24 hours x 7 days
Maximum permitted Total Planned Downtime for LiveVault per Month4 Hours
Availability99.50%
Support Hours for Vodafone24 hours x 7days
Service Desk languageEnglish
Incident Response Time / Incident Resolution Time> 85% within the response / resolution time for such Service Level for each priority of Incident.
