Agenda Introduction Challenges and Solutions Availability Monitoring Summary
Availability for the modern datacentre
24/7 operations No patience for downtime and data loss Growing amount of data Enable the Always-On Business TM Modern Data Center Virtualization Modern storage Cloud
- Agentless backup and replication for VMware and Hyper-V - Scalable, powerful, easy-to-use, affordable
3-2-1 Rule avoiding recovery failure Backup specialists agree that in order to ensure recoverability you need: - 3 copies of your data - Store this data using at least 2 different media types - Store at least 1 copy offsite - Allow for 0 errors by using automatic recovery verification using SureBackup and SureReplica
Backup I/O Control monitor the load on production during backup I/O control monitors production storage during backup, allowing backup despite production workload: -Configure storage latency before backup multiprocessing is limited. -Configure storage latency before the backup is throttled.
VMware Snapshot challenges Standard VM Backup VM snap lifetime With Snapshot Integration VM snap lifetime I/O I/O VM snap Backup VM snap commit t VM snap Backup VM snap commit t High Load at Snapshot committ at Storage Take a long time, sometime hours/days Storage Snap Delete Storage Snap Faster commit with less data. Nearly instant VM Snapshot committ. Use of Storage Snapshot for Backup
End-to-End Encryption protect data at source, in flight and on tape File encryption uses two restore keys, one for the user and one stored in Enterprise Manager, allowing restores even if the user key is forgotten. Uses a fixed AES 256-bit key, and adds an additional load upon data moving or restore by about 50%. For restore the user sends the enterprise admin the file s unique blob, based on this the enterprise admin generates a restore blob. Data in transit can be encrypted using SSL.
Leverage Data use backup to spin up test environments Start VMs from a backup file (SureBackup) or replica, using a virtual lab proxy to separate network traffic. The internal IP address of the virtual lab should be set to the default gateway in production. It is also possible to allow internet traffic through or map an IP address (static mapping) to allow production access to a VM. SureReplica requires distributed virtual switches. Production Network Virtual Lab Proxy Virtual Lab Network
Replication and Failover support for replication and planned failover VM-level HA and DR host-based replication using various optimizations with multiple restore points. -Incremental near-cdp replication with WAN acceleration. -Re-IP on failover and real failback with delta sync. -1-Click failover with defined startup order for VMs. -Twist! Replication from backup file as source.
WAN Acceleration speed up replication and backup copy offsite
Cloud Connect use or become a dedicated cloud provider - Uses backup copy and WAN acceleration (if licensed on customer side). - Hosted offsite backup to a cloud repository through an SSL connection. - 10-minute setup, multi-tenant support, resource management, scale-out architecture and encryption. Service provider licensing (monthly rental) available through Veeam Cloud Provider program, costs for end-users depend on the provider.
Backup from Storage Snapshots (BfSS) speed up backup creation for VMware - Use storage snapshots for Veeam backup creation (up 20x faster) as it leverages CBT. - Support for HP VSA, LeftHand, P4000 and 3PAR, NetApp ONTAP 8.1 or later, includes IBM N-series, EMC VNX and VNXe hybrid storage arrays.

Additional New Features more features coming up in v9 of Backup & Replication Veeam Explorer for Exchange: Detailed reporting allows you to review exactly what was exported, from where, and with what search criteria. Veeam Explorer for Active Directory: Restore support for DNS records, Group Policy Objects (GPO) and configuration partition objects. Veeam Explorer for SharePoint: Full-site and site collection restores for SharePoint. Veeam Explorer for SQL: Table-level restore for SQL databases. Standalone console providing management flexibility allowing users to manage VBR remotely without requiring an RDP session. Direct NFS Access: Speed up data processing and reduce impact on your virtual environment by backing up directly from file-based (NFS) primary storage using Veeam s proprietary NFS client.
