Previewing the Future — Veeam ONE APIs for VCSP partners

Veeam ONE in a service provider world

Veeam ONE has always been a quiet achiever for Veeam and sometimes doesn’t get the airtime it deserves. I remember leveraging certain features of Veeam ONE back in my service provider days, using the free version to monitor our Cloud Connect infrastructure.  The ability to provide monitoring and reporting for Veeam Backup & Replication, vCenter, Hyper-V and VMware Cloud Director infrastructures made it a useful tool for our service providers to leverage.

Put that together with the new features and enhancements that have been added over the past two to three major releases, and Veeam ONE remains one of the best monitoring and reporting platforms out on the market. The one thing it lacked, which was always a top request and much anticipated by our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partners was an API… until recently!

RESTful API V2 preview in V11a

With the release of Veeam Backup & Replication v11, we unleashed a new modern JSON-based API that was independent from Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, and was installed by default with Veeam Backup & Replication. This was talked about during the V11 launch wave, however, we also released V1 of the new Veeam ONE API, though at the time there wasn’t much noise being made about it as it only had a few methods focused on providing license management and license usage reporting capabilities

With the release of Veeam ONE v11a, there has been a significant update to that API, which is now in full preview mode. That means, that as of v11a, customers, partners, and more specifically from my point of view, our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partners, can start to get familiar with the new API with the end goal of being ready for when full supportability is offered in the next major Veeam ONE release.

Swagger plus a couple of examples

As is the norm with all Veeam APIs, there is a Swagger interface that presents all the V2 endpoints.

There is the ability to pull JSON format data about ESXi hosts in a vCenter

and endpoints that focus on grabbing VMware Cloud Director information.

There are many more endpoints and methods as part of this preview release covering virtual infrastructure, Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure and jobs, workload and data protected by Veeam Backup & Replication, alarm, and business view categories.

Conclusion

Veeam ONE continues to expand its RESTful API coverage, and now provides a preview of the REST API endpoints planned to be delivered in the future major Veeam ONE version. That said, specifically for our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partners, it is well worth looking at this V2 release to see what information can be extracted and manipulated with the included endpoints. This addition significantly adds to the value of Veeam ONE for our services providers to leverage in their service offerings.

To learn what method-implemented operations you can perform with Veeam ONE entities, and how to control and sort the data that the REST API returns, see the REST API Reference.

Please leave any feedback on our R&D forums and what you would like to see covered next to help us prioritize!

How to use a SOBR with Veeam Backup & Replication

Image
For those of us who have been in the business of backing up data for a while, we’re used to making copies of data on different types of media. I won’t date myself by mentioning reel-to-reel tapes, but the journey started with tape and then backing up data to block/file-based disk storage came along. More recently, a new kid on the block has become a popular destination for backed up data, object storage. Veeam started to use object storage as a target when we released Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 in January 2019 by introducing our use of AWS S3 compliant object storage via the Capacity Tier. A year later, we launched Veeam Backup & Replication v10 which featured support for object locking to provide data immutability for object storage. Immutability provides protection from ransomware attacks by locking the objects which prevents them from being modified or deleted by malicious software or humans. Today, Veeam Backup & Replication is protecting hundreds of petab...

How To Migrate a Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Database to PostgreSQL

Image
Before Veeam Backup & Replication v11, the product used SQL Server to create and store its configuration database. It has always been possible to use SQL Server Express to store a Veeam Backup & Replication, however, this version of SQL Server had some critical limitations. In the 2022 version of SQL Server Express, the most relevant limitations were: Use of one socket or four cores Use of only 1.4GB per instance 10GB limit for databases In an environment of 500 machines or fewer, these limitations may not have an impact, but if you have a large backup environment, you had to migrate to one of the paid SQL Server versions to avoid these limitations. You can check the limits for each version of SQL Server 2022 by clicking this link . For V12 and with scalability, performance and licensing cost in mind, Veeam introduced the possibility of using PostgreSQL as a configuration database. PostgreSQL is a relational database management system that’s been used for over 35 years...

Use Snapshots to backup SMB File Shares on your NetApp ONTAP system

Image
update notice: The information in this blog post has been updated on April 1st, 2022. Since Veeam Backup & Replication version 10, it’s possible to back up NAS shares with the SMB (CIFS) and NFS protocol. One of the challenges with backing up large file shares is doing so in a consistent state. This blog post shows how to create a consistent backup of an SMB share hosted on a NetApp ONTAP based storage. NetApp storage snapshot, Microsoft VSS snapshot or Storage Integration? Veeam offers three ways to back up a NetApp ONTAP SMB share in a consistent state. With NetApp storage integration From a NetApp storage snapshot (without integration) With Microsoft remote VSS snapshot Using the storage integration is the easiest way to get the latest state with very few configuration steps. Using an alternative snapshot path allows complex scenarios like backing up from a SnapMirror/SnapVault location but it involves scripting or a schedule on NetApp to create and delete t...
