Veeam Replication – Storage Snapshot Orchestration So far in this series I have shown you hopefully how powerful the Replication side of the house is within Veeam Backup & Replication. It is by no means the whole topic covered, we will have CDP as mentioned as a feature, Veeam also have the Veeam Availability Orchestrator which I consider the next level Veeam Replication on Steroids and that alone deserves its own series. There is another form of replication though that in some environments can be driven by Veeam to allow for data to reside in that secondary location. This comes in the form of theRead More →

Veeam Replication – Sandbox Environments In this day and age, we want to be able to do more with less, seems to be everywhere, or we want to be able to do something additional with what we have already got. Get more ROI out of an asset. Leveraging data is no difference, for years as technical customers we have been backing up our data to some form of media, this could be classed as dumb storage. We send our backups there then we update again at the next iteration. We only come back to that backup or replicated data if we need something in theRead More →

Veeam Replication – SureReplica

Veeam Replication – SureReplica What if I told you that the same tool that you purchased for Backup & Replication could also perform a level of verification against your replication jobs. Oh and did I mention that this test would automatically test the verification of Virtual Machine, Operating System and Application. SureReplica gives you the ability to spin up an isolated network in your secondary location to confirm that the restore point is in a good state should you require to actually recover from it, rather than waiting for a failure scenario to occur and then you are sat there with crossed fingers hoping theRead More →

Veeam Replication – Failover & Failback

Veeam Replication – Failover & Failback We are into the home stretch on this series now, this post will cover the failover and failback of our replicated virtual machines. In the previous posts, we setup our replication jobs and got our data going from one site to another, so this one will cover how easy it is to failover for a reason I will let you imagine, for the story though let’s use power outage but we only need to failover our SQL VM for a few hours whilst this host power issue is resolved. For the purposes of this post lets expect that allRead More →

Veeam Replication – WAN Accelerator

Veeam Replication – WAN Accelerator The Veeam WAN Accelerator is an advanced feature but I decided to give it its own spotlight because how powerful it is. Licensing wise it requires Enterprise Plus licensing unless you are leveraging cloud connect to a service provider where Enterprise is sufficient. What is it for? Well it’s for reducing the bandwidth required for transferring either backups or replicas over a WAN. So, when should it be considered? Let’s start by saying it’s not suitable for every environment. In fact, if your environment has some of the things we are going to talk about later then the WAN AcceleratorRead More →

Veeam Replication – Advanced features and functionality Welcome back, as we move through this series where we have touched on the basic replication configuration, or I should say the easy to use deployment, the walkthrough and some more advance configurations or ways in which to achieve the same outcome from PowerShell commands. This post will hopefully share some of the more advanced features, options or even some of the outcomes you might not be able to find any detail on. Remote replica from backup The clue is in the title, this gives the ability to create a replica VM from a backup that has alreadyRead More →

Veeam Replication – PowerShell

Veeam Replication – PowerShell There is a large adoption of people using PowerShell to make their lives easier and reduce time spent on performing lengthy repeatable tasks. Veeam Replication could be one of those where in the last post I showed the simple steps to setup your replication jobs. If you have many different groups or even sites, then to do that a number of times is going to be a pain. What I want to show you in this post is how easy it is to use the Veeam PowerShell Snap-In and the full set of capabilities to run and manage those replication tasks.Read More →

Veeam Replication – Walkthrough Now we have set the scene with our previous posts I wanted to share a complete walkthrough on Veeam Replication and show the simple steps it takes to send your virtual machines from Site A to Site B. This post is aimed for those environments that have a Veeam Backup & Replication server installed and configured. It will also expect that you have deployed an additional Veeam Proxy on that secondary site. When I mention secondary site, this could be considered either onsite or offsite. If it is the same onsite location then the same source proxy can be classed andRead More →

Veeam Replication – Transport Modes

Veeam Replication – Transport Modes I decided to give this topic its own post. This is probably the most important consideration when it comes to replication and how best to utilise the environment. If you are using Veeam you will most likely know that there are multiple options when it comes to how Veeam will take the backup and send to the repository. This is the same with the replication engine. In this post, I want to outline all available transport modes and how possibly each one will be best in the environment. This post will only reflect VMware estates and not that of Hyper-V.Read More →

The Workflow & Components In the last post, I covered a 101 of replication in general and mentioned where Veeam has a play in A-Synchronous and will have Near Synchronous Replication in v10 in the form of CDP. In this post, I wanted to walk through the steps taken when Veeam is used for A-Synchronous replication in your virtualised estate. First, I want to touch on the components that are required for any sort of Veeam replication, these can double up for the backup elements also. Veeam Backup Server The “configuration and control center” Coordinates tasks, controls job scheduling and resource allocation Set up andRead More →
