Onboarding for Veeam Data Platform - Step 2.1. Veeam components and infrastructure requirements

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 | Nutanix AHV | RHV Physical: Windows | Linux | MacOS | Unix | NAS Applications: Microsoft | Oracle | SAP Hana | PostgreSQL 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 capabilities. When you back up a VM, Veeam Backup & Replication requests VMware vSphere to create a VM snapshot. The VM snapshot can be thought of as a point-in-time copy of a VM that includes virtual disks, system state, configuration

Onboarding for Veeam Data Platform - Step 2.3 Deployment options

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 of workloads.NOTE: This is different from the cloud-native appliances that we have for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Simple deploymentSimple deployment includes the installation of all components onto a single all-in-one server.

Business Considerations Deployment Considerations   Infrastructure DeploymentBusiness Considerations1. Risk Assessment:Identify potential risks and threats to the business, considering natural disasters, cyberattacks, human errors, and other possible incidents.2. Data Classification and Prioritization:Classify and prioritize data based on its importance to the business. Determine the maximum acceptable downtime for each critical function. As a part of Veeam Recovery Orchestrator configuration we will want to know what critical workloads need to be protected and recovered. We also need to know how these interdependent workloads need to be group during the recovery orchestration.3. Recovery Locations:Assess the existing technology infrastructure to which locations are best suited for restoration of this data. Select appropriate technologies, such as, hardware, networking, and cloud services.4. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO):Define specific RTO and RPO me

There are several types of Veeam Explorers, each designed to address specific data recovery needs.Here are the main types of Veeam Explorers and how they are used:Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active DirectoryThis explorer enables users to recover individual objects from an Active Directory backup. It is useful for recovering data from Active Directory failures or accidental deletions.Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL ServerThis explorer enables users to recover individual databases, tables and other SQL Server objects from their backups caused by failures or accidental deletions.Veeam Explorer for OracleThis explorer is designed to help Oracle database administrators recover their Oracle databases and any related components like tablespaces, schemas and individual objects.

Primary K10 instances provide a single entrypoint and dashboard for administrators to manage secondary instances. Additionally, Primary K10 instance can distribute the licenses to the secondary instances through license leasing, eventually reducing the overhead to manage licenses in multiple places.K10 resources, like Policies and Profiles, are defined in the primary instance and distributed to secondary instances. Secondary instances enact their policies and the secondaries' actions and metrics are summarized in the primary instance. There are multiple ways to bootstrap K10 instances for the multicluster setup, we will be using `k10multiclu

Step 6. Maintenance and Upgrades

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. At the next step, we will explore advanced features of Veeam Kasten like multicluster manager, blueprints, Openshift virtualization backups and GitOps based deployment strategy.If you need more help getting started, you can

Step 5. Monitoring and Alerting

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 to discover K10 pods to scrape their metrics. Thus, by default Role and RoleBinding entries are created in K10 namespace. However, if you set prometheus.rbac.create=true, global ClusterR

PolicyPresets specify schedule, retention, location, and infrastructure information, while Policies specify application-specific details. Users can find detailed information about schedule settings in the Policy Scheduling section.Create a PolicyPresetThe example in the demo illustrates creating a preset for policies that execute daily, retain 1 daily and 1 weekly snapshot, and export every daily snapshot with a different retention schedule.Step 4.2 ProfilesLocation ProfilesK10 can usually invoke protection operations such as snapshots within a cluster without requiring additional credentials. While this might be sufficient if K10 is running in some of (but not all) the major public clouds and if actions are limited to a single clus

CSI drivers represent the future of storage operations in K8s as the legacy in-tree plugin-based provisioners have already been deprecated and will be removed in subsequent versions of K8s. The PVCs (Persistent Volume Claim) (Persistent Volume Claim) provisioned by these legacy in-tree provisioners are being migrated to CSI drivers. Verify that any CSI storage provisioners support VolumeSnapshots. This may be indicated in the documentation from the storage provider, but it can also be validated using K10 Tools. K10 strongly recommends using a CSI storage provisioner as a pr
