Self-Managed Deployment

  Product Overview ComponentsProduct OverviewVeeam Recovery Orchestrator allows for a much larger and broader way to perform BCDR and ransomware verifications. It too lets you validate your disaster recovery environment without impacting the production infrastructure. Furthermore, it provides automation and scheduling of tests and reports.Veeam Recovery Orchestrator works with Agent Backup Jobs, Virtual Backup Jobs, Backup Copy Jobs, Replication Jobs, and SAN Integration.It's important to understand there are three core components that make up the Veeam Recovery Orchest

By now, you have an operational backup environment, some initial backups finished, a fine‑tuning set and are successfully monitoring and reporting. Congrats! You’ve also likely tried a test restore (hopefully you haven’t needed to do a real restore, but if you have, we’re glad you had a backup). If you haven’t, or you want to dive a bit deeper, here are some resources to help explain and guide you through the restore process.You can explore your Microsoft 365 data four key ways:1. Exploring backup jobs When exploring backup jobs, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 loads the latest restore point that was created by the selected job.2. Exploring single organizations When exploring a single organization, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 merges and loads the latest restore points that have been created by each backup job of the selected organization, including objects (i.e. users) no longer protected

The goal of this step is to give you a high-level understanding of the core fundamental components of Veeam Backup & Replication. We will also guide you through some general backup strategy considerations and infrastructure deployment requirements. Veeam Backup and Replication is a comprehensive solution that allows you to back up and restore your data residing in hybrid and multi-cloud environments:Cloud: AWS | Azure | Google | IBM Virtual: VMware | Hyper-V | Azure Local | Nutanix AHV | Proxmox VE | HyperCore | oLVM |RHV Physical: Windows | Linux | MacOS | Unix | NAS Applications: Microsoft | Oracle | SAP Hana | PostgreSQL | MongoDB Backup JobVeeam Backup & Replication does not install agent software inside the VM guest OS to retrieve VM data. To back up VMs, it leverages VMware vSphere snapshot

Simple deployment Advanced deploymentYour Veeam Backup & Replication deployment can run on-premises or in private, public and hybrid-cloud environments. The prerequisites and how these components work for each environment are remarkably similar. IT organizations have the flexibility to choose from distinctive designs based on their current requirements.On-premises deployments: an on-premises deployment can easily scale out from simple to additional installations. Service providers deployments: Veeam Backup & Replication is employed by service providers who offer BaaS to their customers. Cloud workload deployment: Veeam Backup & Replication can be deployed on a cloud VM and protect a wide variety o

Protecting AWS, Azure and GPC instances:Azure and AWS deployments In the case of Microsoft Azure, there is a certified and pre-installed application available in Azure Marketplace. Likewise, in the case of AWS, the application is certified and available from AWS Marketplace. It comes preinstalled into an AWS EC2 instance and it is a matter of choosing the instance type based upon requirements. Veeam Backup & Replication is different than native cloud backup appliances. See our dedicated public cloud modules for more information:

Always upgrade; we are constantly fixing bugs and adding important features (Kasten releases every 2 weeks), so do not stay on an outdated version for comfort.K10 needs at least 50% free space in Catalog Storage for upgrades. Check the K10 dashboard under Settings → System Information → Upgrade status for details on the current version, latest version, and catalog storage space. For additional details on the K10 upgrade, refer to the K10 user guide.Currently, upgrades are only supported across a maximum of four versions (e.g., 6.0.2 -> 6.5.6). If your K10 version is further behind the latest, a step upgrade process is recommended where you can use the --version flag with helm upgrade to control the version jumps.  Get ready for Step 7 of your onboarding journey.

Step 5.1 MonitoringK10 enables centralized monitoring of all its activity by integrating with Prometheus. In particular, it exposes a Prometheus endpoint from which a central system can extract data.K10 can be installed with Grafana in the same namespace. This instance of Grafana is setup to automatically query metrics from K10's Prometheus instance. It also comes with a pre created dashboard that helps visualize the status of K10's operations such as backup, restore, export and import of applications.Using K10's Prometheus EndpointBy default, Prometheus is configured with persistent storage size 8GiB and retention period of 30d. That can be changed with:--set prometheus.server.persistentVolume.size=<size>and --set prometheus.server.retention=<days>.Prometheus requires Kubernetes API access
