Agenda

Scale is needed for data protection of VMs● Things are easy for small virtual environments● Explain modes available and where they fit● Explain job types and where they fit● Explanation of why each of the top 5 are important

− Interactive demos for select points

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

Page 8: 5 Key Ways to Protect Multiple vSphere VMs

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

Page 9: 5 Key Ways to Protect Multiple vSphere VMs

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
