MS Scale Out Fileserver and Hyper-V

Post by torstende »

Hello experts,
I would like to backup the nodes (operating system part) of a 4 node scale-out-fileserver for bare-metal recovery.
My environment is build with Hyper-V Cluster and scale-out-fileserver. The VMs are backuped as normal hyper-v backup. Runs fine btw. :-)
In case of a desaster I would like to be able to restore the physical clusternodes as fast as possible. Therefore I deployed the Veeam Agent as described in KB2463 (https://www.veeam.com/kb2463). Now I want to add a Backupjob for the Nodes.
Theoreticaly all I need to do is adding the scale-out-fileserver to a backupjob (KB2463: Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) are skipped automatically during the backup.) and I can recover from a hardware failure for the individual nodes.
The storage for the VMs will not be backuped as these are Cluster Shared Volumes, right?
I am asking this as the CSVs are many volumes with a huge amount of Terabytes and that would kill my repositroy.

Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Torsten

Hi,

That's right, you can use VAW to back up SOFS nodes, CSVs will be skipped automatically.

Thanks!
