Hi, is this a physical server or running virtual workloads? If physical then use Veeam Agent for Windows/Linux/whichever OS you are running, otherwise use Veeam Backup & Replication to protect your hypervisor if it is supported.

Hi Paul

Thank you and yes its a physical server. 

What is the recovery process like with Veeam agent?

Note: I have used it on client PC’s very successfully so was wondering

if the process was simular in a RAID 5 suitation?

Thanks,

Hi,

A full metal recovery process is identical to an endpoint.

The only considerations are:

Your hardware might require a particular RAID driver to boot, in which case, create your recovery media from the server to ensure the driver is automatically included, if this doesn’t work for some reason you can still load a driver during the recovery wizard. (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforwindows/userguide/baremetal_source.html?ver=50).

If you ended up with a new RAID controller, you might need to recreate your RAID array, this would need to be done before attempting to restore onto the disks. Otherwise this would likely be seen as a bunch of independent disks. Or fail to show altogether.

Thank you Micheal

Yeah, as long as the RAID/PERC driver is loaded, the restore should see the virtual disk as a disk to restore to, similar to what you’d see on a workstation.  

Thanks Guys….
