Additional Proxy Options Additional Transport Concepts Additional Repositories ​​​​​​​Veeam Linux Hardened Repository Scale-Out Backup Repository Additional Transport Modes Veeam Console ServerThese are additional components, plug-ins and proxy options that are available to you in the Veeam Data Platform.Additional Proxy OptionsVMware CDP proxy receives VM data, prepares data for short-term restore points, compresses and deduplicates data, encrypts and decrypts data, sends data to the storage in the disaster recovery site or another VMware CDP proxy. You can assign the role of a VMware CDP proxy to any Windows-based or Linux-based virtual or physical server added to your Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure which operates as a data mover and transfers data between the source and target hosts. In this video we will describe the progress of having a new VMware CDP Proxy server:Hyper-V Off Host: You can deploy an off-host backup proxy to remove unwanted overhead on the productio

Replication Backing up with Agents and Plug-ins AgentsBased on the analysis of your RTO and RPO, you can define your protection plan and select which features are the most suitable for your business needs. It is a common practice to divide servers and applications into categories and use different protection functionality for each category based on SLA (service level agreement). You can take the following table as a reference:Related content:What Backup type do you need? Watch this video to learn the differences between backup types (image-, volume- or file-level backup) and where to configure them in the software. Deduplication, Compression & Encryption - What's the difference? Watch this demo to learn more about deduplication, compression and encryption, as well as how these play into your disaster recovery plan. Moving forward, we'll review these additional components and concepts in more details. Backup Copy JobBackup copy allows you to create several instances of the same back

Restoring and testing your backup data is one of the most critically important parts of ensuring you have a solid data protection solution.Call to action for this module is to review the following restore capabilties and test them out on your test backup server data. Veeam Backup & Replication offers the following types of recovery:Each of the above restore options also has multiple different types of restore capabilties, below we’ve provided a link to dive further into these options. Alternatively, you can continue exploring the topic in the User Guide. Check out these demo videos to discover some of these restore options in more detail:Instant file-level recovery is a great feature of Veeam Backup & Replication. It allows you to perform restores of files or folders from both VMware, Hyper-V or multiple guest OSs, without having to stage the backup itself.With Instant VM Recovery, you can immediately restore different workloads as VMs to your production environment by running

Typically, environment size dictates your deployment model. The size of your environment takes into consideration the number of machines (physical or virtual), as well as the total size of the backed-up data. Another consideration for repository sizing is the period of retention for your backups.Below you can find a summary of the recommended system requirements. For more detailed specs, visit the User Guide. Get started with sizing: Make sure that servers that you plan to use as backup infrastructure components meet the listed system requirements. Veeam Sizing Estimator can provide a quick and easy method of estimating the requirements for a Veeam Backup solution. Veeam Backup Capacity Calculator allows to estimate capacity required to store backup data. Pro tip: avoid the 10GB database size cap and artificial performance limitations of Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition without breaking the bank with support for free, multi-platform PostgreSQL as a configuration database engine. Co

Backup repositories Transport modesBackup repositoriesA backup repository is a storage location where Veeam keeps backup files, VM copies and metadata for replicated VMs. Veeam Backup & Replication supports a variety of storage options, including:DAS Directly attached storage (DAS) is supported, which includes DAS, USB/external Serial Additional Technology Attachments (eSATA) and raw device mapping (RDM).Linux hardened repository A hardened repository is a storage location that has been secured using various techniques to prevent unauthorized access and data tampering. In the case of Veeam, a hardened repository is a Linux-based server that has been configured to meet specific security requirements and provide immutability to backup files. This would be implemented to address insider threats, and ransomware.Object storage For organizations that have a cloud-first strategy, Veeam can support object storage. These include AWS S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, IBM Cloud, S3-compatible
