@DAMASE237 - just taking a first glance at this - I think it looks like you don’t have enough proxy/data mover processing capacity.For component sizing you can use the VSE calculator at https://calculator.veeam.com/vse.The recommendation for sizing the tape server can be found in the Veeam UG - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/system_requirements.html?ver=120 also - when you perform replication it helps to make sure that the proxy count at the target side matches the proxy count at the source side.
Exactly this….I think REFS tends to be for those most comfortable with Windows and not comfortable with Linux. However, the Linux/XFS side of things doesn’t appear to be that hard, and I have a new server that I’m going to play with before it goes into production as a Linux repo, plus I’m going to be trying out the new LHR ISO if (I can ever find the time) on an older server, so one way or another I’m going become more comfortable with it. But for me, it’s been REFS just because of unfamiliarity. And of course, moving to linux does rid me of having to have those pesky Windows licenses that I’m always seeming to run short on in the smaller, non-Datacenter licensed environment. @dloseke - All great points! I think you’ll enjoy Linux after you use it! Also, there are plenty of Linux learning resources available to help you gain some familiarity with the OS!
A backup proxy will be used to restore from Object if there is no gateway server defined. If you do not have any proxies defined then the Veeam server will be used to do the restore from object.
@Dynamic Also know that if you share this across two different VBR servers both VBR servers must be updated at the same time or one repo won’t work. And truthfully this is really against against best prqctices and should be carefully considered before this is implemented. And of course not mention that know ypu are doubling the attck vector to the repo and you are putting all of backups in a single repo.
@jgalea Just know that if you share a repository across multiple Veeam Servers they will both need to be upgraded at the same time, or one will stop working. Also sharing repositories is not considered best practice.
Nice to see this is now polished after the Summit. Thanks for sharing Joe looking at it now. Thanks, Chris. We got a new template. The older ones are slowly being moved to the new template - hopeully they will be there soon.
Nice and I see Object First in there as well. Just thought I would mention 😇. I forgot that in the list - sorry. But yes, we have one for Object First!
As everyone mentioned above - Jumbos can help a bit - but there are a few things I thing you should be aware of. If there is a jumbo frame setting mismatch anywhere along the route the job could fail as the proxy won’t be able to make a stable connection anywhere along the way (i’ve seen this plenty). Even if you increase the network transmission speed your bottleneck will still most likely will be the DD target - this will be especially true on restores. The DD will need to be able to injest the data fast enough and then dedupe it and write it faste to keep up with the extra data coming through the network. On restores the DD will be the bottleneck as it has to support enough red I/O in order to send enough packets across the JF to make a difference. So like @JMeixner said above - YMMV.
When Veeam performs a back it performs a VM snapshot as a way to “lock” the files that are on disk at the time of the backup. Veeam then copies all of the appropriate backup blocks from the VM disk and send it to a LHR. When the backup is complete, Veeam deletes the VM snapshot it created and moves on.
If there is data on other VM snapshots that is needed then that data will be pulled and added to the backup restore point.
Wow! You are a “blueprint machine”, @vmJoe !!! Thanks so much! These are very precious materials for partners and customers.👏🏻 This is a Veeam Solutions Architects team effort! I am happy you like these @leduardoserrano!
