Send Veeam Agent for Windows backups to both a local repository and to Cloud Connect

Luca Dell'Oca, March 28, 2017March 27, 2017

Veeam Agent for Windows 2.0 is today available as a public beta, and it’s soon to be officially released. One of the most awaited features is for sure the possibility to send backups over the Internet to Veeam Cloud Connect, and the feedback we’ve seen during the public beta period has been great so far. There’s actually however one limit in v2: users can only choose one destination for their backups. So, if you want to consume Cloud Connect, this is going to be your only traget and you will have no local backups, and viceversa. Two different policies cannot be configured in the interface, but this doesn’t mean it cannot be done!

There’s a solution to this however, and it doesn’t cost anything to users.

This time it was Amazon Web Services, as their S3 service in the US-East region has been down for almost 4 hours, impacting so many other cloud services that are relying on this object storage technology. What impacted me, however, had been the reactions of other IT people around and the couch architects all over the world.

Security for your virtual machines: backup of vSphere encrypted VMs

Luca Dell'Oca, February 14, 2017February 15, 2017

In my previous post of this small series, titled Security for your virtual machines: what is KMIP?, I talked about the new generation of the main hypervisors, VMware vSphere 6.5 and Microsoft Hyper-V 2016, and how they both introduced new encryption capabilities for virtual machines. I described the underlying technology used by VMware, KMIP; it’s not time to implement it in my lab and see how it interacts with data protection, specifically backups.
