Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication v6

Enterprise scalability

Advanced replication

Multi-hypervisor support

Numerous enhancements, including

1-Click File Restore

Poll question #1

Who performs file restores in

your organization?

IFLR

Pre-v6

Find the file to be recovered using Veeam

Enterprise Manager.

1. Write down the backup file information for the

desired restore point.

2. Connect to and open the console on the

appropriate Veeam Backup Server.

3. Launch the File Level Restore wizard.

4. Find the required backup file.

5. Select the desired restore point.

6. Launch the restore. The file browser opens.

7. Find the file to restore among the files in the

directory.

8. Right-click and select Copy to…

9. Select or enter the destination for the restore.

Fail because permission or network issues prevent

access to the destination server.

10. Save the file on your desktop.

11. Ship the file to the owner (email, USB stick, etc.).

v6

Find the file to be recovered using Veeam

Enterprise Manager.

1. Click to restore file to its original location.

1-Click File Restore

Right-click

to restore one…

Find the

file

… or several files

Web-

based

1-Click File Restore (continued)

Find and restore individual guest files back to the original

location with a single click in seconds!

Files are restored in-place and directly to the virtual disk

of live production VM

Eliminates the possibility of operator error

Speeds file restores and improves RTO 10x or more

1-Click File Restore (continued)

Delegated

● File restore operator role (limited to IFLR tasks and views)

● Can restrict to restoring specific file types only

Secure

● File restore operators do not need permissions on Veeam backup

files, the host, the target VM, or restored files

● Can restrict access to the content of restored files

Fast

● Google-like search for files in guest file system index

● Based on proven IFLR engine

(restore directly from backup file without staging)

1-Click File Restore (continued)

Robust

● Does not require agent inside VM

● Does not require direct network connection to VM

Safe

● Preserves original file automatically (renamed)

● Restores as new file if original file is locked

Complete

● Preserves file permissions and ownership

● Supports GPT partitions and simple dynamic disks

Demo: 1-Click File Restore

Poll question #2

Which migration capabilities

are you licensed for

(with VMware)?

VM Migration for VMware

Wizard to migrate one or more VMs:

● Between hosts

● Between datastores

● Between hosts and datastores at the same time

Uses VMware vMotion or VMware Storage vMotion, when available

Otherwise, uses Veeam Quick Migration technology to migrate running VMs with least possible downtime

Tightly integrated with vPower engine for smooth

finalization of Instant VM Recovery

● Unchanged data blocks are copied directly from the backup file,

instead of vPower NFS, increasing speed and reducing impact

Scenario 1: Migrate VMs between hosts

Scenario 2: Migrate VMs between datastores

Scenario 3: Migrate VMs between hosts & datastores

But wait, there’s more!

Introducing SmartSwitch™

● Transfers the running state of the VM during migration

● Minimizes downtime (eliminates shutdown/reboot cycle)

● Ideal for Instant VM Recovery

How it works

1. Pauses the source VM

2. Copies virtual disk deltas and VM memory state

3. Resumes the target VM

Requires that source and target hosts have compatible

CPUs

What else is new in v6?

Engine

Backup

Restore

Indexing and search

Statistics and reports

Windows UI

Enterprise Manager UI

PowerShell

Other

Engine

Improved source data retrieval performance

● Engine optimizations provide up to 5x faster speed

(depending on storage, processing mode and proxy server)

TCP/IP connection multi-threading

● Proxies can establish multiple connections with each other and

with repositories, allowing for better WAN link utilization

Swap file exclusion

● Virtual disk blocks belonging to swap files are automatically

excluded from processing

Backup

Backup file mapping

● Map new job to existing v6 backup file to eliminate need for an

initial full backup

Enhanced backup file format

● New metadata file (.VBM)

● Speeds backup import

● Full backward compatibility with older backups

Enhanced compatibility with deduplicating storage

● Less “chat” with existing backup files

● Optional backup file data alignment

Restore

Hot Add restores

● Dramatically improve performance of full VM restores

● No performance issues with thin disks (unlike direct SAN restore)

1-click full VM restore

● In-place restore of full VM (to original location)

● Minimizes the chance of user error and speeds recovery

Virtual disk restore wizard

● Enables support for restoring thin disks as thin

Restore (continued)

Network mapping

● Restored VMs can be automatically reconfigured according to

virtual network defined as part of restore job

VM ID preservation

● Preserves VM ID during in-place restore of full VM

● Prevents backup jobs and 3rd party tools tied to VM ID from

breaking

Full support for DVS switches

● Improves RTOs by removing additional network configuration

● Important for environments with vCloud Director

Indexing and search

Microsoft Search Server is now optional

● Use guest file search capabilities out of the box!

● Scalability TBD (few hundred VMs expected)

● Microsoft Search Server support still available for better search

performance in environments with thousands of VMs

Reduced catalog size

● Size of guest file catalog is reduced several times!

Statistics and reports

Enhanced real-time statistics

● Improved design and usability

● New counters (data read & transferred, operation duration)

● More frequent updates

Enhanced reports

● Changed data per VM

● Compression and deduplication statistics

Bottleneck monitor

● Percent busy time for each data processing stage makes it

easy to identify primary bottleneck for each job

Statistics and Reports (Continued)

Windows UI

Usability improvements

● All wizards now provide quick navigation from any step

● Dynamic wizards automatically show/hide additional steps

depending on selections to speed up configuration tasks

VM ordering

● Ability to order VMs within a job

Multi-user access

● Multi-user access to the Veeam Backup & Replication console

for simultaneous administration

Enterprise Manager UI

Job cloning

● Quickly clone existing jobs

Job editing

● Edit contents, accounts and schedule of any job

● Clone job and modify it right in the web UI!

FIPS compliance

● Adjustments to the encryption algorithm have been made to

make the web interface FIPS-compliant out of the box

Look and feel

● Web UI has been redesigned and looks awesome!

Enterprise Manager UI (continued)

PowerShell

Full support for all new entities (including Hyper-V)

Simplified syntax (e.g., built-in Name parameter)

Support for masks in object names

Object search (same as in UI)

Find-VBRViEntity -Name fs*

Gets all VMware VMs with names starting from “fs” letters

Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name NAS

Selects backup repository with name “NAS”

Add-VBRHvBackupJob -BackupRepository (Get-VBRBackupRepository

-Name Drobo)-Entity (Find-VBRHvEntity -Name *db)

Creates a Hyper-V backup job to backup repository “Drobo” and

adds all VMs ending with “db” to the job

Other features

1-click install for backup infrastructure components

● Automated, wizard-driven install of proxies and repositories

● No messing with virtual appliances import and configuration!

1-click upgrade

● Upgrade wizard automatically detects out-of-date components and

pops up when you open UI

● All v6 components (including those in remote offices) can be upgraded

to the new version with a single click

1-click log collection

● Collects logs from remote service and prepares support package

Multiple minor improvements

● SureBackup, file copy, Windows IFLR, UI, etc.
