From Data Loss to Data Boss: Lenovo TruScale and Veeam

Today we are at an important crossroads of many factors: explosive data growth, a need for complete data protection, the highest RTOs and RPOs and less patience than ever for tools unfit for the job. One of the ways to bridge the gap is to deliver services in the ‘as a Service’ (XaaS, as a Service, etc.) model. Here at Veeam, we see more trends indicating that as Service offerings continue to grow in popularity. We even see this available in infrastructure services, many organizations seek the as a Service, cloud-like experience with on-premises security and control. Enter Lenovo TruScale. Today, Lenovo TruScale is launching a Backup as a Service offering, announced today with Veeam!

Backup as a Service: Explained

This a great way to modernize a data protection strategy. Organizations are dealing with explosive data growth, and Lenovo TruScale can help manage the performance and availability of modern infrastructure. Lenovo TruScale’s backup as a Service offering will be delivered on ThinkSystem appliances with Veeam Backup & Replication provisioned on them. This will simplify the IT experience by giving a cloud-like model on-premises for consumption and operation. Capacity considerations won’t keep anyone from sleep and allow the services of IT to carry on as the business dictates.

As a Service Models: Aligned

Looking at Lenovo TruScale’s offering, it is clear that organizations who want to focus on delivering services versus fretting about capacity can succeed easily. Key benefits of Lenovo TruScale are shown below:

These benefits allow organizations to stay competitive and efficient with a scalable, cloud-like consumption model that takes the unpredictability out of IT capacity. This integrated as a Service model naturally scales, pardon the pun, to the backup conversation. Having backup as a key tenant of the as a Service model perfectly aligns to again, take the complexity out of the complex enough world we live in. This is one step closer to everything as a Service!

Protecting Data: More options than ever

One of the key aspects of Lenovo TruScale’s Backup as a Service offering with Veeam is the ability to keep data safe. There are more immutable options than ever with Veeam, and the Backup as a Service offering with Veeam will allow customers to keep backup data safe. Additionally, this is built upon an established alliance partner relationship that Veeam and Lenovo have had in the market. 

 

Gone are the days of data protection and capacity worries

This is a great offering in the market to meet the needs of organizations who are focused on their IT services yet are aware of the value of having a robust data protection strategy. The best of both worlds is upon us and at Veeam we are happy to see the Lenovo Backup as a Service offering come into market with Veeam as the backup engine on the Lenovo equipment. You can find out more information about the Lenovo Backup as a Service offering via our Press Release and stay tuned for more information.

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...
