My big project over the last month has not only been getting up to speed around Kubernetes but has had a parallel effort around Kubernetes storage and an open-source project that has been developed and today is released. In this post we are going to touch on how to get going with Kubestr, the first thing to mention is that this is a handy set of tools to help you identify, validate, and evaluate your Kubernetes storage. The Challenge The challenge we have with Kubernetes storage is that it’s not all that easy and it’s very manual to achieve some of the tasks that KubestrRead More →

To follow on from the last post around being able to take an application consistent snapshot without the requirement of taking a VMware snapshot which can be found here. The premise of this post is to highlight another cool feature that also came in Veeam Backup & Replication v10 but this time focused on Microsoft SQL and Oracle logfile backups. In previous versions we could take application consistent snapshots and backups with the requirement of taking a VMware snapshot but from a storage snapshot perspective we were able to truncate the database logs after a successful snapshot or we can choose not to truncate theRead More →

Do you have High IO workloads that you cannot afford to have a VMware snapshot take place? This was a nice feature that was sneaked into V10 without many people realising. A common challenge with High IO workloads with VMware snapshots is that it would or could kill performance of likely this mission critical system when a VMware snapshot takes place, which either means you take that risk and manage to get a backup to happen during a relevant window, you leverage crash consistent storage snapshots which also do not require a VMware snapshot or GASP! You just do not do anything and hope thatRead More →

It feels like only now my feet are just touching the ground after a busy month so far with VeeamON and this event, I wanted to get some content out there based on the visit to NetApp for the 5th year ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) I wanted to go back to some feature announcements that NetApp made at the beginning of May. This is something we were lucky to hear about a few weeks back. I think it’s fair to say NetApp have really pulled things back in the industry. Maybe they did lose their way and maybe they grew too fast for aRead More →

How to install the Inifinidat plug-in Veeam backup and replication 9.5 update 3 was released just before Christmas, this updated included a major feature in the Universal Storage API, this would allow Veeam to support a much wider range of storage vendors for integration into the product. A closed process led by Veeam and storage vendor the private SDK is provided to the storage vendor to develop against, at completion the storage vendor will then provide the Veeam QC team with the new plug-in where it can be tested in the system for any bugs or configuration issues. At this point it can then beRead More →
