Veeam Backup & Replication v5

with vPower
Aseem Anwar Sales Engineer

Existing tools arent doing the job


Traditional backup
Agent in each VM Full VM recovery is complex
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.

Expensive
Does not guarantee recoverability

Typical VMware backup


Backup code runs on ESX(i) hosts
Significant storage requirements Limited recovery options Does not guarantee recoverability

Veeam Backup & Replication

vPower

Breakthrough technology
Publishes the backup as a regular VMDK file
Compressed, deduplicated, incremental

Runs a VM directly from the backup file


Runs on regular backup storage Does not make any changes to the backup file

Automatically manages an isolated virtual lab


Workflow engine manages requests Proxy appliance provides access into the isolated environment
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.

10x faster: vSphere and vStorage (including Changed Block Tracking)


Advanced VSS integration and application awareness Direct SAN access SmartDedupe

Complete backups on time, back up more frequently


Recover critical Windows applications
(Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, etc.)

Achieve higher consolidation ratios by removing load on production hosts and LAN Reduce storage requirements without sacrificing tape support or creating a single point of failure

SureBackup
From the Veeam Community Forum: Our current backup system is bogging down due to too many small files (and probably too few directories) resulting in an 8-10 hour backup time Daily Veeam backups using CBT take just under 20 minutes consistently. It's really incredible.

recklessop: backed up entire customer infrastructure (900GB) with @Veeam & 6GbSAS link to HP P2000 G3 in less time than CA backed up exchange. nice!!!
seb_neumann: Create and Config of #Backup jobs: Before @Veeam about 4 hours for a couple of VMs with #Veeam less than 15 minutes Veeam rules!

InstantRestore

Instant VM recovery
Fast: start VM directly
from backup file

Readily available:
uses existing backups and backup storage

Buys you time:


users keep working while you troubleshoot the problem

jr_on_the_cloud: Did a VM restore using Veeam yesterday. Worked perfectly and was very easy. Impressed!

How it works

Veeam Backup Job


Veeam Backup Server

Virtual Machine A

Backup file for Virtual Machine A

Virtual Machine A running from the backup file

Storage vMotion (or Veeam Backup & Replication)

U-AIR
No application-specific agents to license No additional products to buy No special backups to create

Supports ANY virtualized application


Durablenot tied to application internals Supports administrator- and user-directed recovery
Wizards for administrator-directed item recovery from Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL Server User-directed item recovery from ANY application or database

Maintains separation of permissions between backup administrators and application owners

Workflow engine
Maintains separation of permissions between backup administrators and application owners
1. Application owners install wizards on their workstations 2. Application owners submit restore requests to backup admins 3. Backup admins approve requests 4. Application owners get notified, finish wizard to restore items

On-demand sandbox
Instantly start a group of production VMs in sandbox Restore from any point (full or incremental backup)

Run directly from the backup file, with backup file remaining untouched
Can be used for:
Troubleshooting Testing workarounds Patch testing Development or test lab

Leverage the investment youve made in backups put your backups to work

How it works

Veeam Backup Server

Veeam-provided proxy appliance to communicate with VMs in isolated network
