VIRTUALIZATION
The Storage Silo Era is OverThe World Has Changed…
The mission critical nature of SharePoint content demands rapid recovery from unexpected events (e.g. accidental loss of files or folders, loss of user account and user application).
For small and medium-sized customers, data backup, replication management, and cost-effective long-term data retention are a challenge when IT budgets and storage expertise are limited.
Multiple areas of “data” requiring backup/recovery or archive/retention:Content librariesSharePoint/App Service databasesVirtual Machines

Real-world deployment depends on business needs, HA requirements and IT policies
Typical: 3 VMs per host – Web Server, App, SQL
Leverage HA features of SharePoint/SQL and infrastructure

Description of Veeam backup to StoreOnce with offhost proxy
1 Veeam backup server requests a snapshot of the SharePoint VMs on the Hyper-V host.
2 The Hyper-V host quiesces the VM applications and requests a snapshot of the VSA volumes.
3 The HP StoreVirtual VSA creates the application aware snapshots.
4 Snapshots are mounted to the offhost backup proxy.
5 The Veeam transport service on the offhost backup proxy processes the backup data and copies it to the StoreOnce device.
6 Upon completion of the backup job, the snapshot is unmounted and deleted.
Step Description
Veeam Explorer for SharePointBrowsing SharePoint databases within compressed, deduplicated image-level backups of SharePoint virtual machines (VMs) without having to restore the entire database
Searching for specific SharePoint items with rich search capability for e-discovery purposes
Recovering and exporting items directly to the original SharePoint server, or sending items as email attachments to specific users
Support for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013
Veeam Explorer for SharePoint
StoreOnce
Dataflow of Veeam recovery from StoreOnce and StoreEver• Veeam backups up the VM
image(s) to a backup repository in a folder with the name of the backup job
• An additional scheduled job archives (copies) the Veeam backups to Media Sets pulled from Media Pools of tape
• For restores Veeam will load the required tape(s) and copy the Veeam backup file(s) to the backup repository; and for VM restores, restore the VM automatically
• Once the restore is complete Veeam will delete the copied backup file from the repository
