Meet recovery objectives while accelerating compliance

Modern data protection challenges demand an assessment of recovery strategies and the maintenance of compliance with those strategies. This could be for regulatory reasons or simply to offer assurance that the business can bounce back quickly in the event of an outage. 

If we want to meet recovery objectives in the face of modern challenges such as ransomware, then recovery at scale and in parallel becomes a critical component. Recovering individual VM’s, files or application items is all well and good for ‘everyday’ disasters (like recovering that critical email) but when infrastructure becomes unavailable the impact can be felt broadly.   

Mass recovery in parallel, shortens overall recovery time and, with a little forethought, organizations can plan for and control application-specific ‘wrinkles’ in advance to facilitate faster recovery of workloads in the right place at the right time and with the right dependencies intact. The ability to orchestrate recovery from diverse sources, such as VMware and agents, and to diverse recovery targets, like a disaster recovery site, the public cloud or even P2VC (physical-to-virtual-or-cloud), provides much needed flexibility in recovery planning and makes the question of “Where do I recover to?” easier to answer- an important question as you plan for a potential multi-site outage or denial of service. 

Available with Veeam Data Platform Premium Edition, Veeam Recovery Orchestrator gives organizations the ability to pre-plan and automate time-consuming recovery processes, such as mass recovery in parallel and ensuring application dependencies are in place. Additionally, Veeam Recovery Orchestrator will test recovery plans and even scan recoveries in-process ensuring the data you are recovering is not infected This eliminates multiple manual (failed) attempts at successfully recovering the same workload, reducing overall recovery time. The built-in compliance dashboards and automated reporting help certify that logistical processes around recovery are tested and proven to ensure compliance. They are the perfect document set to present to auditors or the board. 

So, Veeam helps organizations ensure compliance standards are met. But simply showing that a particular workload does not meet its SLA for backup (for example) may not be enough. That workload needs to be protected to meet the SLA! The Veeam platform provides for automated remediation, ensuring that adherence to compliance is less of a manual burden. In our quick example here, it might mean automatically adding a workload to a backup job if it falls out of SLA-compliance. 

Veeam Data Platform provides peace of mind with the ability for organizations to quickly recover from disasters, maintain compliance, and ensure business continuity. Whether it’s recovering from a ransomware attack or ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, the powerful tools provided through Veeam make it a reliable choice for any size organization.

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...
