Cache Veeam Explorer Data

Post by mkaec »

My configuration backs up to a deduplicating appliance and I've found the Veeam file explorer to be pretty slow to mount a restore point. Sometimes it is several minutes. If we get a restore request from a user in which they don't know exactly when the file was lost/destroyed, it can be quite painful to check different restore points looking for the correct version of the file.

Other backup applications I've used keep a copy of the "catalog" local on the backup server. Is there any way to configure Veeam to do something similar with its metadata so that the file explorer can use that instead of trying to read it off the repository?

Marc-
In the job, if you enable the feature to "Enable Guest File System Indexing" under the Guest Processing tab this will allow you to use Enterprise Manager web UI to search across the backups for the files in question.

I tried this out and browse performance was much improved. (And search isn't too bad either.) Thanks for the idea.
