Luca Dell'Oca, April 21, 2015October 15, 2020

As I’ve walked through my own learning path, I’ve created a series of blog posts explaining the basics, how to deploy and configure it, and my use cases. In this 9th part: failover scenarios during Veeam backups.

Change all your Veeam backup jobs to the new forward forever-incremental

Luca Dell'Oca, November 24, 2014December 4, 2016

When you upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication to V8, you have available the new Forward forever-incremental mode for your backups. This is the default method for all newly created jobs, but the already existing backup jobs are not changed, because we do not want to change the user experience or create issues to I/O profiles, backup windows and such.
This great powershell script will take all your existing forward incremental backup jobs and reconfigure them to use the new forward forever-incremental mode.

Luca Dell'Oca, October 13, 2014December 4, 2016

When it comes to choosing a backup mode in Veeam Backup & Replication,there is a constant trade-off between space efficiency and I/O efficiency. Forward mode is I/O efficient, while Reversed is space efficient. The new method coming in v8 will combine the pros of each, to offer an even better backup experience.

Veeam Extract Utility, quick restores without the Veeam server

Luca Dell'Oca, June 23, 2014December 4, 2016

One of the biggest misconceptions about Veeam Backup & Replication, often fueled by competitors, is that it requires the complete server installation in order to run restores. So, this becomes a Single Point of Failure, just like many other solutions from competitors. This is completely untrue: there are two main features in Veeam that make restores possible even without the server installation.

Can you clone a VM replicated by Veeam?

Luca Dell'Oca, June 16, 2014December 4, 2016

Veeam Backup & Replication has always had since its first version the possibility to replicate VMs, together with the backup capabilities. Once a VM is replicated in a secondary site, it could become a great resource for additional activities: from automated recovery tests (called SureReplica in Veeam) to become also the source for cloning activities. Data are already locally saved, there is no need to retrieve anything else from the source site, so any operation is quick an easy. Are there any informations we should be aware of in doing these operations? Let’s find it out.

Restore a single VMDK using Veeam Instant VM Recovery

Luca Dell'Oca, April 14, 2014December 4, 2016

Instant VM Recovery is one of the coolest feature of Veeam Backup & Replication. Regardless of the size of a VM, it allows to have it back in production and running in few minutes, because it’s not actually copied back into the production datastore, but directly executed from a backup file. It’s main use is to restore completely broken or lost VMs, but what if you want to restore a single VMDK, maybe because the original VM is fine and you only need one of its virtual disks? usually, a disk restore would require a complete binary restore into the production datastore, and if the disk is quite large it can take some time. What if you would be able to use Instant VM Recovery also for a single VMDK, instead of having to remove the old VM and swap it with the new one?
