Veeam Backup & Replication and Iomega

Veeam Backup & Replication

_{and Iomega}

What are the challenges?

Managing VMware-centric environments requires a new

way of thinking

Attempting to manage virtual environments with

traditional backups

Reducing backup storage utilization

Iomega StorCenter PX Product Line

•Redundant PSU (optional)

StorCenter px12-350r

•12 x HDD/SSD Drives (36TB) •4 x GbE

Iomega StorCenter Line

Provision an iSCSI target to hold Veeam backups

● Simple, native interface

Small environments can place VMs on a separate

StorCenter device for primary storage

The ideal solution

Restarts a VM within minutes using existing backups and storage

Obtains reliable backups every time

Recovers virtualized application items/objects without added complexities or cost

Tests VMs before pushing them live (patches,

troubleshooting, etc.) troubleshooting, etc.)

Reduces backup storage requirements

Delivers offsite replication, versioning and archiving at a fraction of the traditional price

Veeam Backup & Replication

Traditional backup

● Agent in each VM

● Full VM recovery is complex

● Expensive

● Does not guarantee recoverability

organizations still hit these bumps on the backup and recovery road: They use the same products for both physical and virtual server backup, when “A major reason that

Reinventing data protection

Innovation with vPower

● Run a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file

● Eliminates need to provision storage, extract and copy the backup

Taking data protection to the next level

1. Instant VM Recovery: recover an entire VM in less than 2 minutes

2. U-AIR: recover individual emails, database records, etc. from a

2. U-AIR: recover individual emails, database records, etc. from a

regular image-level backup—without agents, special indexes or extra backups

3. Sure Backup: verify the recoverability of every backup

4. On-Demand Sandbox: create VMs on the fly for testing or troubleshooting

How vPower works

vPower NFS

Instant VM recovery

Fast: start VM directly from backup file

Readily available:

uses existing backups and backup storage

Buys you time:

users keep working

while you troubleshoot the problem

Secure: no special software or connectivity tools needed

Easy: just like browsing a file system

Instant VM Recovery Use Cases

o Users no longer have to wait while admins troubleshoot an issue. This acts as a temporary spare while you find and fix the problem.

U-AIR

Performs item-level recovery from any virtualized application without:

application-specific agents to license additional products to buy

special backups to create

Supports administrator- and user-directed recovery

● Wizards for administrator-directed item recovery from Microsoft

● Wizards for administrator-directed item recovery from Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL Server

● User-directed item recovery from ANY application or database

Replicate means recoveries can be done from local or

U-AIR

U-AIR (Universal Application-Item Recovery) Use Cases:

o There is an pending lawsuit against a company, and they need to recover deleted emails for the case

o An administrator accidentally fat fingers an AD OU and needs to recover it

o A script incorrectly updates records and the admin needs to go back to a previous point in time.

o Admins want to use the same image level backup as they do for all o Admins want to use the same image level backup as they do for all

SureBackup

Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup

Does not affect backup windows or

require additional hardware and staff

Reduce storage requirements without sacrificing tape support or creating a single point of failure

Assures reliability in all local or remote locations

Check all

Check some Checksum

Assures reliability in all local or remote locations

SureBackup Use Case: Many admins settle for backups that “might”

On-demand sandbox

Instantly start a group of production VMs in sandbox
Restore from any point (full or incremental backup)
Run directly from the backup file, with backup file

remaining untouched

Seamless integration with remote and alternate sites
Pick from any archive; perform at disk and wire speed
Pick from any archive; perform at disk and wire speed

On-Demand Sandbox Use Cases:

o A way to quickly provision a copy of the production environment for testing without impact

o Development can test code changes before implementation o _{Patch Tuesday is no longer a “wait and see” approach—now}

The value of a joint solution

Veeam Backup & Replication and Iomega storage

2-in-1: backup and replication
No extra charge for:

● Deduplication

● Enterprise Manager

● Multi-hypervisor support

Veeam and Iomega solution allows you put Veeam’s vPower
Veeam and Iomega solution allows you put Veeam’s vPower

features to work allowing your data to be usable, reliable and protected

Quick ROI and low TCO

Reliable offsite DR without the “big IT” price

Best Practices

• Backup to iSCSI target on Iomega StorCenter

• Recover from any location using Veeam

• V6 supports both VMware and Hyper-V environments

• Completely customer deployable

Additional Considerations

For best results, perform the initial sync locally

Only changes are moved

Consider using one StorCenter to host VMs as well as local backup targets

backup targets

• Perfect for small offices

V6: Coming soon

1. Enterprise scalability: This new distributed architecture

streamlines deployment and maintenance of larger scale installations and remote office/branch office by introducing new lightweight backup proxies and repositories to help distribute backup jobs. Additionally, this new

intelligent load balancing eliminates backup storms and target saturation.

Use Cases:

o Great for remote or branch offices that don’t necessarily need/have a dedicated backup server.

V6: Coming soon

Advanced replication: Leveraging the enhanced distributed architecture, advanced replication improves restores and accelerates replication 10x faster than before.

Multi-hypervisor support: Veeam Backup & Replication v6 now supports Microsoft Hyper-V. This new offering delivers multi-hypervisor support all from a single license, install and console for your multi-hypervisor environment. With this added support also comes these industry firsts:

a. 2-in-1: backup and replication: Provides unified data protection by

allowing you to use the same solution for backup and replication without added cost or supplemental tools.

cost or supplemental tools.

b. Changed block tracking: Offers fast incremental backup—20x faster

resulting in near-continuous data protection (near-CDP) at a fraction of the cost of a traditional CDP solution.
