Hi everyone,

I’m looking to explore how to effectively integrate Veeam with High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments to enhance data protection Here are some strategies for integrating Veeam with HPC for better data protection:

  1. Backup Scheduling: Utilize Veeam’s scheduling features to back up HPC workloads during off-peak hours to minimize impact on performance.
  2. Incremental Backups: Take advantage of Veeam's incremental backup capabilities to reduce storage requirements and backup windows, which is crucial for large HPC datasets.
  3. Data Reduction Techniques: Use Veeam’s built-in deduplication and compression features to optimize storage usage when backing up large HPC environments.
  4. Snapshot Integration: Integrate Veeam with storage snapshots to quickly capture the state of HPC workloads without significant downtime.
  5. Regular Testing: Implement a regular testing schedule for restores to ensure that your data protection strategies are effective and that recovery times meet your needs.

I’d love to hear your experiences and insights!

 

Hey there! Veeam is the perfect option for HPC backup. Are you using a hypervisor or bare metal for your environment? 

I’d also recommend using a Scale Out Backup Repository (SOBR) for the best protection. This is considered a best practice for the 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy. It’ll provide you with the best protection from ransomware or even data center disasters since your data will also be protected off-site.

(Shameless plug) Backblaze B2 offers fast, S3 compatible object storage for SOBR. 

Our team published a blog post about how to incorporate SOBR. We also published an Ebook on some of the best practices for server backup.
