Block size in combination with Veeam Cloud Connect and Object Storage

Great comment Tyler, thanks. I can add two notes here: hyperscalers do it better: I’m not so sure, they seems to be able to sustain bigger loads indeed cause the underlying system has many more disks and nodes, but also cause they apply tons of throttling rules on the network. We played a bit at a provider with an on-prem s3 and haproxy cluster in front of it, and we noticed this clearly. When you start to apply throttling the storage has an easier life. But as I said before, at the expense of backup times; HDD only: that’s correct if it’s a capacity tier for SOBR, but for primary backups I’ve started to see many high-end solutions (name the usual suspects) with hybrid, full-flash or even NVME. Yes, as a backup target. The price justification heavily depends on which business you are running, so what sounds unjustifiable for your service, may be totally fine for another. For the topic of this thread, VCC, I agree it may be an overkill. Thx again @LDelloca for your second feedback o

Block size in combination with Veeam Cloud Connect and Object Storage

Keep in mind what other data you may have on your Object Storage. Eg: If you have other (non Veeam) data that is larger blocks in general, your object storage may be able to handle the smaller blocks that Veeam creates, deep in their nested folders, easier than if its all Veeam data using 1 MB blocks. As well, if your Object Storage is all SSD or NVMe, it might not matter at all. That said, I can’t imagine anyone deploying Object Storage as a backup landing zone using anything other than HDDs, just due to pure cost. Scaling up into PiB of data using SSDs is no small expense. Scale of your Object Storage deployment can also have an impact to your overall performance. A million objects spanned over 8 HDDs is going to hurt. A million objects spanned over 800 HDDs is not even a concern. However, now we’re back to the first point I made - if all the data on your Object Storage is Veeam data, scale isn’t going to necessarily help you here because you’re no longer talking about a millio

Block size in combination with Veeam Cloud Connect and Object Storage

Hello @Nico Losschaert thanks for all this informations. I m currently working on a new VCC infrastructure. It’s good to know. Do you notice a big difference in the performance ? Write troughput Restore Time Deletion Time What do you mean @Stabz in having a big difference in performance?Having 4MB blocks vs 1MB blocks?I will test the difference. It probably depends also on the whole setup and choice of vendors, especially the one of the object storage.

It heavily depends on which object storage you are using, it’s not a common rule for everyone. Indeed, some suffer the IO load we trow at them, and increasing the block size is an easy solution. But at expense of highly increased incremental size. @HannesK did some tests and 2x is the value we also found. It makes total sense that a full backup has the same size, if you think about it the entire vm has always the same size, regardless if you cut it into 1mb pieces or 4mb pieces. But when it comes to incremental, a changed byte can mark an entire block as changed, so a larger block may have more chances to have changed bytes. Some other worked by introducing trottling, either in the storage or by placing reverse proxies in front of the storage (like haproxy or others). The idea obviously is to slow down the backup process to let the storage be able to ingest data. This choice will affect the SLA, as you’re now offloading data at a slow pace. Some providers instead went to test and sel

We have had to move to larger blocks for Object as smaller ones don't work as well. Great post Nico. 👍 Thx for your feedback @Chris.Childerhose. Also in combination with VCC?

Veeam 12 update copy legacy jobs

2 main differences I think with the new copy job : they are true per-VM (a metadata file per VM instead of 1 metadata file per job) and you can change between immediate or periodic now what was not possible before.you can keep it if you want, but the new layout is functioning better than before

socket based license for new Veeam v12 server

I’m not sure a further license upgrade is necessary I believe the v10 format is still the latest. But if that is the case you need only go to my.veeam.com and download your license in the latest format 🙂 Indeed @MicoolPaul, I think the format from V10 is still the same 😄
