  1. Veeam Backup & Replication More ways to WOW. Mario Marquez System Engineer Veeam Software

  2. Existing tools aren’t doing the job • Traditional backup • Agent in each VM • Full VM recovery is complex • Expensive • Does not guarantee recoverability • Typical VM backup • Backup code runs on hosts • Significant storage requirements • Limited recovery options • Does not guarantee recoverability “A major reason that organizations still hit these bumps on the backup and recovery road: They use the same products for both physical and virtual server backup, when we all know that virtualization requires a fundamentally different approach.” – SearchServerVirtualization.com

  3. The right tool for the job • Built specifically for virtualization • Addresses unique requirements • Fewer spare resources • More data • Dynamic environment • Leverages unique opportunities • Whole VM restore • Unified data protection • Backups as datastores

  4. vPower • Exclusive patent-pending Veeam technology • Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore the host can connect to • Compressed, deduplicated, incremental • Runs the VM directly from the backup file • On regular backup storage • Without making any changes to the backup file “This is why I love Veeam. They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table and put them together into a functioning business solution.” – Brett Westover IT Administrator Therapeutic Research Center

  5. Running VMs from backups • Quickly restart a failed VM • Test VM backups • Restore data from applications running on the VM • Create VMs for testing and troubleshooting

  6. Backup • Fast • Disk-based backup • Forever incremental • Changed block tracking  20x faster • VeeamZIP for easy ad-hoc backups • Efficient • Offloads processing from hosts and VMs • Excludes unnecessary data, and deduplicates and compresses the rest • Generates no special metadata • Accesses SAN storage directly • Reliable • No more babysitting backup jobs • Performs advanced application-aware processing • Automatically verifies recoverability of backups NEW!

  7. Why replication? • Virtualization enables cost-effective replication • Inexpensive standby hosts • Dissimilar storage • VM-level (not application-specific) • Virtualization enables unified data protection • Image-based incremental backup • Image-based incremental replication • Only difference is the target • It’s not just a commercial bundling of products…it’s a cohesive data protection strategy

  8. 2-in-1: backup and replication • Host-based replication • Replicate onsite for HA, offsite for DR • Numerous optimizations for efficient replication across the WAN • Replica rollback to protect against corruption of source • Assisted failover • Fail over individual VMs • Re-IP after failover • Real failback • Delta sync • 1-click and confirm—for one or several VMs • Re-IP after failback

  9. Flexible recovery • Restore exactly what you need • Entire VM • Individual VM files • Individual guest files • Application data • all from the same image-level backup

  10. 1-Click File Restore Web- based Find thefile Right-click to restore one… … or several files

  11. 1-Click File Restore (continued) • Restore directly to original location • Uses guest interaction APIs • Does not require: • Direct network connection to VM • User permissions on host or VM • Agent in host or VM • Delegate file restores • “File Restore Operator” role • Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files, the host or the VM • Secure: files restored directly to original location • Can be restricted to certain file types (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)

  12. A Virtual Lab • We know how to clone VMs • BUT, a sophisticated backup tool can allow us to access the VMs within the backup file. • Reduce disk storage requirements (only changes) • Keep backup read-only! • Isolated from production network!

  13. Fast recovery • Disk-based: no tapes to find, retrieve, mount, etc. • Immediate: no dependence on a catalog • Restore entire VM image: faster and less error-prone than rebuilding the machine and reloading applications and data • Instant File-Level Recovery (IFLR): restore individual guest files directly from the image-level backup, without any staging or special metadata needed • Instant VM Recovery: restart failed VM directly from the backup

  14. Instant VM Recovery • Fast:restart VM directly from backup file • Readily available:uses existing backupsand backup storage • Buys you time:users keep working while you troubleshoot the problem

  15. How it works VMware Within 2 minutes! vPower Compressed/ DeduplicatedBackup File vPower NFS Storage vMotion Backup storage VMware datastores

  16. Quick Migration • The Instant VM Recovery trick is nice, but….. I don’t have Storage vMotion… • No problem! • The right backup tool can accommodate that as well. • One example is Veeam Quick Migration

  17. Architecture • Distributed architecture • Backup serversBackup proxy serversBackup repositories • “Automated everything” • Centralized management via Enterprise Manager • Intelligent load balancing

  18. Architecture • Distributed architecture • Backup serversBackup proxy serversBackup repositories • “Automated everything” • Centralized management via Enterprise Manager • Intelligent load balancing • Low TCO • No agents: to license, deploy, monitor or maintain • Storage agnostic • Manage VMware and Hyper-V from a single console,with a single data protection infrastructure

  19. Real benefits to the business • Significant cost savings • Storage • Manpower • Downtime • Software licenses • Software maintenance • Server consolidation • Test labs • Risk reduction • Data loss • Unrecoverable backups • Human error • SLA compliance • Enhanced RTOs and RPOs to meet service-level agreements

  20. Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5 We never stand still

  21. What’s coming in 6.5 • Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange • Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots • VMware vSphere 5.1 support • Windows Server 2012 support

  22. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange • Visibility into Exchange VM backups • Immediate: No need to provision storage, restore the VM or restore the mailbox store • Agentless • Requires no special backups or metadata collection—even works with existing Veeam backups (and SAN snapshots) • Free! • Included in all versions of Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5,including Free Edition • Eliminates need for expensive standalone tools licensed per-mailbox • Currently available Just restored a 145 GB #MSExchange Public Folder database in 2 min. using @veeam. Then restored a single item all under 10 min. SWEET! The new #veeam explorer for exchange looks veeamy. That's right, I just made up a new word (it means awesomesauce) Even the *beta* of @veeamExchange Explorer works a treat. Saved literally, hours of work.. and saved my bacon. #recommend Really excited with the new @veeam Explorer beta for #Microsoft Exchange VM backups - we have lots of interested customers ready for this!

  23. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange (continued) • Capabilities • Browse: familiar Explorer-type interface • Search: familiar Outlook-like Find, including Advanced Find • Export: export to PST file, MSG file or attachment • Uses cases • E-discovery • Item-level restore: export and send to affected user • Mailbox archive • Supports Exchange Server 2010

  24. E-discovery and item recovery

  25. Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots • Veeam restores from SAN snapshots • Supports tiered data protection strategy • Perform all restores through familiar, easy-to-use Veeam interface • Supports HP StoreVirtual VSA and HP LeftHand • SAN snapshots + Veeam restore = Best RPOs and RTOs for operational recovery

  26. Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots (continued) • Fast: recover entire VM or individual items in < 2 minutes • Fully automated: clone & promote snapshot, present to vSphere, clean up • Restores directly from VM files on the SAN snapshot: no staging or intermediate restores required • Flexible • Specific VM • Individual guest files: Windows, Linux, et al • Individual Microsoft Exchange items • Free • Worry-free: automated process eliminates human errors and protects integrity of SAN snapshots and production LUNS • Agent-free: no agents to deploy on hosts or VMs • Literally free: included in all editions of Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5, including Free Edition

  27. How it works

  28. Instant VM Recovery from a SAN snapshot

  29. A solution you can count on • Know that your VMs are protected and that you can recover quickly in the event of a problem • Remove unnecessary load and potential sources of instability on your production hosts • Know that the solution will work as advertised • Know that you won’t outgrow the solution • Know that you made the best investment

  30. A great value • 2-in-1: backup and replication • Hardware agnostic • No extra charge for: • Replication (near-CDP) • Deduplication • Enterprise Manager • Licensing by CPU socket • No per-server, per-agent or per-mailbox fees • Quick ROI and low TCO
