Who is protecting the cloud?

Veeam has created a series of videos where Jason Buffington, VP of Solutions Strategy, and Dave Russell, VP of Enterprise Strategy, discuss key findings from Veeam’s Cloud Protection Trends in 2021 report, where 1,550 data center professionals were surveyed regarding their cloud data protection activities.

In this first blog post, we focus on the personas involved in protecting cloud workloads.

Who is backing up the cloud?

There are backup administrators of course, but also infrastructure (IaaS) administrators, and other data center stakeholders as well. In the first video we cover:

  • Who in the data center defines the strategy for protection and which team performs the protection activities?
  • How long cloud data is retained, and how that data is protected, as broken out by role (IaaS and Backup administrator).

Microsoft Office 365 backup personas and strategies

In the second video we cover:

  • Who defines the Office 365 strategy and who is responsible for performing the backups?
  • What are the primary reasons for protecting Office 365 data?
  • How does your organization back up Office 365 data?

Be sure to look for the rest of this three-part blog series, with the next blog post coming soon.

About the report: In August 2021, Veeam published the research findings from an independent analyst survey of 1,550 unbiased IT decision makers involved in cloud-powered production IT, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and/or Containers.

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...
