What organizations should look for when choosing a Service Provider

With 2022 well under way, Veeam is getting ready to release the latest version of the industry’s largest data protection research endeavor (3,300 IT leaders) on February 22. When you download it, you’ll see that data loss and downtime continue to plague far too many organizations. Unsurprisingly, many of those organizations expect to increase their use of cloud services as part of their data protection strategies.

In the meantime, check out our Data Protection as a Service 2021 report that was published just a few months ago. One of the key areas of the report, beyond the inevitability of cloud and why/where BaaS & DRaaS make sense, was looking at how organizations utilize Service Providers and what distinguishes good MSPs from great ones:

Many organizations focus too much on the “P” (Provider – i.e., capabilities) aspect of MSPs, without looking closely at the “S” (Service – i.e., partnership and knowledge) that they offer.  Said another way, it is relatively easy to copy your data into a cloud repository; the hard part is aligning the recovery capabilities to the needs of the business and curating the solution for the long term. To add to that discussion, here is a short video summarizing 1,050 IT leaders’ viewpoints:

We hope this blog series was helpful. In case you missed it, here is the rest of the series:

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...
