Image
We are excited to announce the release of Kasten K10 version 6.0, the latest and most advanced version of our industry-leading platform that provides enterprise-grade Kubernetes data protection and application mobility.

2022 Veeam Vanguard Class Is Now Open! What Are the Members Saying?

Every year, before we announce the members of the new Vanguard class, we carefully review hundreds of applications. There’s a bit of a wait at first since we open nominations and renewal submissions in early December, keeping it open till early January so everyone has enough time to apply. Vanguards who are already members have their own application. Everyone who applies to join the program from outside can find the application link in the Veeam blogpost published prior to opening submissions in the beginning of December. After closing the submission process, we carefully evaluate all the applications, from existing Vanguards to new prospects submitting their application in hope to join this incredible Veeam advocacy program. The toughest part is selecting a limited number of experts, as our goal is to keep the size of this group of the best Veeam experts from all over the world small in comparison to other community programs. But why?

There are many reasons. One is to keep it personal rather than anonymous, so everyone knows the other members by name, which is not possible when you have hundreds of members. We also believe there is a benefit to understanding what every single unique professional within this community brings to the table and how they enrich the program with her or his knowledge and experience. At the same time, we can provide everyone opportunities to grow and engage throughout the year with Veeam´s events, projects, beta testing, feedback, event speaking opportunities, various learning options and the chance to support other Vanguards in attempt to learn and grow with each other.

 

To get a better idea of the Veeam Vanguard program, read what its members are saying about it. This year, we announced the 2022 Vanguard class at the very end of February, and almost 20 Vanguards wrote about their experience with the program:

We are grateful to see the Veeam Vanguard program members grow every year, not just professionally, but also from a personal perspective. This program is something you have to experience rather than read about, but I hope this post provides a pretty solid overview of how it feels to be one of our Vanguards. If you‘re interested in becoming a Veeam Vanguard, there are two things you need to know: you have to be active and visible through the year and then apply when we open the submission process for the 2023 Vanguard class in early December. Good luck, and if you´d like to get some inspiration from existing Vanguards, you can visit the program website and follow their Twitter via this list.

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...
