The reason for this very simple walkthrough was because of a prompted question in the Veeam forums this morning but I thought it may come in use for anyone else trying to make use of the Veeam file copy function, this capability within the product (also available in the free version) allows for you to schedule a file or folder copy to another location, it can also be ran ad-hoc. The steps to achieve this involve adding your source and destination servers or SMB shares. Firstly open your Veeam Backup & Replication console and head over to the “Backup Infrastructure” from here you will seeRead More →

It’s the end of another busy conference week, VMworld US is probably on par with our own conference VeeamON in terms of how busy we are. It was my first ever VMworld last year and this one well and truly topped it. Announcements The opening keynote was really exciting to hear, the aquisition of CloudHealth was great. I have been following these guys for a while and the tech they bring or will bring to the VMware portfolio is really exciting. With CloudHealth, you gain visibility into cost, usage and performance across your physical infrastructure and virtual machines. The second exciting announcement was around AmazonRead More →

Our session this year is focusing on the automation and orchestration around Veeam and VMware. But what does that mean? The point of our session to highlight the flexibility of the Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform, some people just want the simple, easy to use wizard driven approach to install their Veeam components within their environments but some will want that little bit more and this is where APIs come in and allow us to drive a more streamlined and automated approach to delivering Veeam components. We also highlighted this by running through everything live, I will get to the nuts and bolts of that shortly. WithRead More →
