− Interactive demos for select points
Questions and answers Drawing and wrap-up
Veeam Backup & Replication
vPower
Scale and storage
Level-Set: One backup server may not be able do it all Scale Friendly: Licensing permits multiple Veeam
Backup & Replication Servers Job and Type can be more important of a choice than
criteria in-job. Optimization option
● Specifies a block-size for job algorithm● Local, LAN or WAN targets
Enterprise Manager
Rollup view of all jobs on multiple servers● Doesn’t currently edit or create jobs
Virtual lab request workflow engine● Approve or deny portal
Guest file search features● Utilizes Microsoft Search Server
Modes
Virtual appliance● Host needs to have access to all of the shared storage (LUNS)
− One or more Veeam Backup & Replication Server per cluster
Direct SAN● iSCSI Storage – Easier to provision Veeam Backup & Replication
Server to storage processor● FC – Physical, direct attached to SAN● Offload processing from virtual infrastructure
Network mode● Only use if dedicated network available and storage access by Veeam
Backup & Replication
Job type selection
Reversed incremental (retained for v4 jobs)● Most disk I/O intensive● General purpose to disk backups● Ready-to-restore options on disk
Incremental with synthetic full● Scale: VMs and jobs per Veeam Backup Server higher with this type● Optimized to move to tape as a whole● Transform backup chains
− Option with incremental− Higher I/O requirement− 5 TB or less per job iteration− Takes longer than synthetic full− Saves space
Important decision for scale● Charts following
