Protecting Data - Creating Replication Jobs

How Veeam Replication Works To replicate VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication leverages snapshot capabilities. Veeam Backup & Replication requests a VM snapshot during replication. The VM snapshot can be considered a point-in-time copy of a VM that includes virtual disks, system state, configuration, and so on. Veeam Backup & Replication uses snapshots as a source of data for replication. What is Replication? Replication is a data protection method that creates a copy of data in a separate location. It usually works on a scheduled basis, meaning data is copied every few minutes, hourly, or daily. This approach helps ensure data availability but may allow for some data loss if a failure happens between the scheduled copies. Replication is commonly used for virtual machines, databases, and file systems to protect against hardware failures and disasters. Replication is a technology that is available for use in Hyper-V and VMware environments. What is Continuous Data Protection? Continuous Data

Protecting Data - Creating Backup Jobs

How Veeam Backup Works with Virtual Machines Veeam Backup & Replication produces image-level backups of VMs. It treats VMs as objects, not as a set of files. When you back up VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication copies a VM image at a block level. Image-level backups can be used for different types of restore, including Instant Recovery, entire VM restore, VM file recovery, file-level recovery, and so on. In this example we are going to look at a typical VMware based Veeam Backup. Other hypervisors will work slightly differently but the concepts are more or less the same. To backup a vSphere VM, Veeam integrates via the vSphere API leveraging VMware's changed block tracking (CBT) to efficiently identify and back up only the blocks that have changed since the last backup. Whereas Hyper-V relies on Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) for backing up Hyper-V virtual machines, relying on integration services within Hyper-V to ensure proper snapshots and handling of applications during the b

Deployment - Deploying Veeam Backup & Replication

Deployment Scenarios Veeam Backup & Replication supports several deployment scenarios, including the core infrastructure components: backup server, proxy, and repository. Veeam Backup & Replication provides flexible scalability and easily adapts to the needs of your environment. Depending on the size of your environment, you can use one of the following scenarios: Simple Deployment Also known as the All-in-one deployment, the VBR server, proxy server, and backup repository roles are assigned to a single machine in a simple deployment scenario. These roles are assigned automatically to the machine where you install Veeam Backup & Replication. All-in-one deployment is more straightforward and requires minimum design effort; you only have to design the underlying server, and the Veeam server is self-contained. Note that only the backup server handles and stores all your data, and for larger environments, the capacity of a single backup server may not be enough. It is recommended to use th

CDP - Practical Use Case

Objective: Utilize Veeam’s CDP to protect critical virtual machines where near-zero data loss is essential. Background: We are using CDP to safeguard our network monitoring software, which collects and graphs data from our network elements over time. The key goal is to ensure consistent graphical data during polling periods, maintaining accuracy even during failover or updates. Constraints: Deploying CDP is more complex than anticipated, as it’s an advanced feature that requires careful configuration. While the deployment process could be an entire article in itself, the most important advice is to verify DNS resolution for all components being deployed—double, triple, and even quadruple check to ensure everything is correctly configured. The first part of my test was to seed the CDP policy to a replica we had on our target server. After defining the polling period for the Network Management System (NMS), it will query its elements every 300 seconds to ensure consistent graphical data.
