Veeam Backup & ReplicationMore ways to WOW.

Mario MarquezSystem EngineerVeeam Software

“A major reason that organizations still hit these bumps on the backup and recovery road: They use the same products for both physical and virtual server backup, when we all know that virtualization requires a fundamentally different approach.”

– SearchServerVirtualization.com

Existing tools aren’t doing the job

Traditional backup● Agent in each VM● Full VM recovery is complex● Expensive● Does not guarantee recoverability

Typical VM backup● Backup code runs on hosts● Significant storage requirements● Limited recovery options● Does not guarantee recoverability

The right tool for the job

Built specifically for virtualization

Addresses unique requirements● Fewer spare resources● More data● Dynamic environment

Leverages unique opportunities● Whole VM restore● Unified data protection● Backups as datastores

vPower Exclusive patent-pending Veeam technology

Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore the host can connect to● Compressed, deduplicated, incremental

Runs the VM directly from the backup file● On regular backup storage● Without making any changes to the backup file

“This is why I love Veeam. They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table and put them together into a functioning business solution.”

– Brett WestoverIT Administrator

Running VMs from backups Quickly restart a failed VM

Test VM backups

Restore data from applications running on the VM

Create VMs for testing and troubleshooting

Backup Fast

● Disk-based backup● Forever incremental● Changed block tracking 20x faster● VeeamZIP for easy ad-hoc backups

Efficient● Offloads processing from hosts and VMs● Excludes unnecessary data, and deduplicates and compresses the rest● Generates no special metadata● Accesses SAN storage directly

Reliable● No more babysitting backup jobs● Performs advanced application-aware processing● Automatically verifies recoverability of backups

NEW!

Why replication? Virtualization enables cost-effective replication

● Inexpensive standby hosts● Dissimilar storage● VM-level (not application-specific)

Virtualization enables unified data protection● Image-based incremental backup● Image-based incremental replication● Only difference is the target

It’s not just a commercial bundling of products…it’s a cohesive data protection strategy

2-in-1: backup and replication Host-based replication

● Replicate onsite for HA, offsite for DR● Numerous optimizations for efficient replication across the WAN● Replica rollback to protect against corruption of source

Assisted failover● Fail over individual VMs● Re-IP after failover

Real failback● Delta sync● 1-click and confirm—for one or several VMs● Re-IP after failback

Flexible recovery Restore exactly what you need

● Entire VM● Individual VM files● Individual guest files● Application dataall from the same image-level backup

1-Click File Restore

Right-click to restore one…

Find thefile

… or several files

Web-based

1-Click File Restore (continued)

Restore directly to original location● Uses guest interaction APIs● Does not require:

Direct network connection to VM User permissions on host or VM Agent in host or VM

Delegate file restores● “File Restore Operator” role● Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files,

the host or the VM● Secure: files restored directly to original location● Can be restricted to certain file types (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)

A Virtual Lab

We know how to clone VMs BUT, a sophisticated backup

tool can allow us to access the VMs within the backup file.

Reduce disk storage requirements (only changes)● Keep backup read-only!● Isolated from production network!

Fast recovery Disk-based: no tapes to find, retrieve, mount, etc.

Immediate: no dependence on a catalog

Restore entire VM image: faster and less error-prone than rebuilding the machine and reloading applications and data

Instant File-Level Recovery (IFLR): restore individual guest files directly from the image-level backup, without any staging or special metadata needed

Instant VM Recovery: restart failed VM directly from the backup

Instant VM Recovery Fast: restart VM directly from backup file

Readily available: uses existing backups and backup storage

Buys you time: users keep working while you troubleshoot the problem

The Instant VM Recovery trick is nice, but….. I don’t have Storage vMotion…

No problem!● The right backup tool can

accommodate that as well. One example is Veeam

Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5We never stand still

What’s coming in 6.5 Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots VMware vSphere 5.1 support Windows Server 2012 support

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange Visibility into Exchange VM backups

● Immediate: No need to provision storage, restore the VM or restore the mailbox store

● Agentless● Requires no special backups or metadata collection—even works with

existing Veeam backups (and SAN snapshots) Free!

● Included in all versions of Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5,including Free Edition

● Eliminates need for expensive standalone tools licensed per-mailbox

Currently availableJust restored a 145 GB #MSExchange Public Folder database in 2 min. using @veeam. Then restored a single item all under 10 min. SWEET!

The new #veeam explorer for exchange looks veeamy. That's right, I just made up a new word (it means awesomesauce)

Really excited with the new @veeam Explorer beta for #Microsoft Exchange VM backups - we have lots of interested customers ready for this!

Even the *beta* of @veeam Exchange Explorer works a treat. Saved literally, hours of work.. and saved my bacon. #recommend

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange (continued)

Capabilities● Browse: familiar Explorer-type interface● Search: familiar Outlook-like Find, including Advanced Find● Export: export to PST file, MSG file or attachment

Uses cases● E-discovery● Item-level restore: export and send to affected user● Mailbox archive

Supports Exchange Server 2010

E-discovery and item recovery

Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots Veeam restores from SAN snapshots Supports tiered data protection strategy Perform all restores through familiar, easy-to-use

Veeam interface Supports HP StoreVirtual VSA and HP LeftHand

SAN snapshots + Veeam restore = Best RPOs and RTOs for operational recovery

Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots (continued)

Fast: recover entire VM or individual items in < 2 minutes● Fully automated: clone & promote snapshot, present to vSphere, clean up● Restores directly from VM files on the SAN snapshot: no staging or

intermediate restores required

Flexible● Specific VM● Individual guest files: Windows, Linux, et al● Individual Microsoft Exchange items

integrity of SAN snapshots and production LUNS● Agent-free: no agents to deploy on hosts or VMs● Literally free: included in all editions of Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5,

including Free Edition

How it works

Instant VM Recovery from a SAN snapshot

A solution you can count on

Know that your VMs are protected and that you can recover quickly in the event of a problem

Remove unnecessary load and potential sources of instability on your production hosts

Know that the solution will work as advertised

Know that you won’t outgrow the solution

Know that you made the best investment

A great value 2-in-1: backup and replication

Hardware agnostic
