3 Veeam Backup Server / Proxy Architecture

4 Veeam Backup Server Windows based physical or virtual machine Coordinates backup, replication, recovery verification and restore tasks Controls job scheduling and resource allocation Is used to set up and manage backup infrastructure components as well as specify global settings for the backup infrastructure Requires a SQL database instance Simple: Installer includes SQL server express 2005 SP4 which can be installed on the VBR server Advance: Leverage on an existing SQL database server Protection of Veeam database instance Using native SQL tools for local instance (Physical Server) Use VBR server to backup itself (VM)

infrastructure Requires a SQL database instance Simple: Installer includes SQL server express 2005 SP4 which can be installed on the VBR server Advance:

5 Veeam Backup Proxy Backup Jobs Data mover for VM data from the production storage, compressing and sending it to the backup repository Replication Jobs Data mover for VM data from the production storage, compressing and sending it to another backup proxy Windows based physical or virtual machine Always deploy backup proxies close to the source which you want to backup Remote replication will require a source and target proxy Deployment of additional proxies will be dependent on Backup window requirements High availability of proxies

physical or virtual machine Always deploy backup proxies close to the source which you want to backup Remote replication will require

6 Direct SAN Access mode Veeam backup proxy has access to the SAN (Physical server/fc or VM/iSCSI) Metadata on the layout of the virtual disk are sent to the Veeam backup proxy from the ESX host Veeam backup proxy will read the data that needs to be backed up directly from the SAN and send them to the repository

the Veeam backup proxy from the ESX host Veeam backup proxy will read the

7 Virtual Appliance mode Veeam backup proxy is deployed as a VM Using VADP hot add scsi capability, the virtual disks of a VM can be directly attached to the Veeam backup proxy VM The Veeam backup proxy VM will read the attached disks and sent the backup data to a repository Note that the datastore hosting VMs to be backup must be visible to the ESX host holding the Veeam backup proxy

Veeam backup proxy VM will read the attached disks and sent the backup data to a repository Note

8 Network Mode Veeam backup proxy can be deployed as physical or virtual ESX hosts reads and sends data to backup proxy over the LAN which is then sent to the repository Slowest mode and loads on the network

to backup proxy over the LAN which is then sent to

9 Using physical host Veeam Backup Server Minimal RTO to bring up backed up VMs using IVR when ESX infrastructure goes down Veeam Backup Proxy Physical SAN access mode for best backup performance can be enabled Backup processing will not consume ESX host s resources Tape backup software can be deployed on same server for tape out of Veeam backup images Restores will be in network mode Higher deployment budget cost

enabled Backup processing will not consume ESX host s resources Tape backup software can be deployed on

10 Using VM Veeam Backup Server Very simple and fast to deploy as there is no lead time required to order and setup hardware Increased RTO when ESX infrastructure goes down Veeam Backup Proxy Very simple and fast to deploy as there is no lead time required to order and setup hardware VADP which allows hotadd scsi capability for backups and also restores Can use physical SAN access mode only with iscsi

simple and fast to deploy as there is no lead time required to order and setup hardware VADP which

11 Physical or Virtual Machine? Size of environment. Big -> Physical / Small -> VM Physical deployment for highly consolidated environments Physical server will incur additional hardware costs Performance versus costs Any requirement for tape out of Veeam backup images

consolidated environments Physical server will incur additional

14 Backup to the cloud integration Backup to the cloud? Cloud storage is utility based, pay as you grow Provides an alternative to setting up an offsite location for backup images Minimal setup costs and is hassle free Access backup images from anywhere Recovery will need additional steps which will increase RTO RTO very dependent on bandwidth to cloud provider Security issues, encryption, etc Deployment usually involves integrating Veeam Backup and Replication with a cloud storage gateway Cloud storage gateway is configured as target storage for the backup repository When backup data is sent to the backup repository, the backup data is automatically synced to cloud storage

18 Dual site deployment Hot and cold site Deploy a Veeam backup server at each site Veeam backup server at hot site will schedule hot site local backups Veeam backup server at cold site will schedule replication of hot site VMs to cold site In the event of hot site failure, the cold site Veeam backup server can be used to perform failover of VMs Once hot site is recovered, failback of VMs can be performed

replication of hot site VMs to cold site In the event of hot site failure, the cold site Veeam backup
