This would really be helpful
Hey Malo, Unlike some other applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Veeam don’t have official “application support” for VMware Horizon. It would be difficult to have an official support for it as there are so many varied deployments and that will vary dramatically what can be protected. Your Veeam licensing can be done per socket or per instance, I’d recommend per instance due to the amount of redundant data copies within a VMware Horizon environment, you’d be fully featured but it would be cheaper. You can then leverage tags to determine what must be backed up. Veeam licensing won’t be the only consideration here though, you’ve not made any mention of what storage you’ll be using so I’d like to highlight one of the go to storage systems for VDI: VMware vSAN. VMware vSAN is supported in hot-add and network modes only, but VMware’s VDI licensing inclusion of ESXi is on the condition no other workloads run on the ESXi host, so you’ll be restricted to network backup mode if you’re p
Thanks for the information, that’s good to know then, that way you can leverage storage snapshots (assuming you’ve got enterprise plus socket licensing or you’re using VUL as your license type) & Direct SAN Access, so you’ve got the potential for great backup performance there. As you’ve got Windows 8 in there I take it that means you’re not trying to use Instant Clones so are they linked clone pools, automatic full virtual machine pools or manual virtual machines? Resourceful. Linked Clone pools used.
Thanks for the information. Going back to your original question now. You’ll be able to protect the persistent data of the VMware Horizon VDI deployment without issue, you can protect all the management layer components such as VMware Horizon View Server and Security Server as those are just traditional virtual machines. You can back up your gold image used for deployment as well as the vCenter being used for VDI management. Aside from this we haven’t spoken about additional components such as App Volumes or Persona Management (or whether you’re using roaming profiles), but PM/Roaming Profiles will use a standard network share IIRC so you just need to back up that server as normal to protect the data. Let us know if you have any further questions 😊 Thank you Michael, for the insights. This will do at this point.
Also shout out to @Malo and @vChris for making it into this recap! Thank you @Kseniya and @Rick Vanover for the recognition and all help from @MicoolPaul . I am a “he” by the way.
Hi all, We all love VEEAM . But why is it called like that? Originally Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov founded Veeam in 2006. They called their company from the phonetic pronunciation of the letters VM (stands for Virtual Machine)! In the meanwhile everybody knows that the company is owned by US Insight Partners and has it’s headquarters in Baar (Switzerland) and in Columbus, Ohio (US). I think that this is too simple, the name V.E.E.A.M. stands for much more... V Virtual Machines / Virtualization. Yes correct, it all started at the beginning with monitoring and reporting for a virtual infrastructure. Virtual machines and virtualization is probably still the most used asset with the veeam products. Versatile. It’s more than clear that Veeam tries to have a solution for every demand, so it has definitely versatile products. Vision. Veeam has a great vision : To be the most trusted provider of Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management! E Eliminate Data Loss. VBR brin
Just got my Free Virtual Pass to KubeCon 2021! Thank you @michaelcade
