VDP to Veeam

[FRANCISRUBEN]

Hi Team,

One of customer is looking to migrate from VDP to Veeam.
He has 2ESXI and 4 vms running on them.
What would be the best Migration approach from VDP to Veeam

[Andreas Neufert]

Run the backups in parallel for some time until you reach needed retention within Veeam. Then decomission VDP.

Hi Andreas Thanks for the response..

How about the Setup Veeam and restore the Vm's as the veeam would be using the same respository

[Andreas Neufert]

Can you please explain a bit further? I do not understand.

[FRANCISRUBEN]

Ok let me explain..

2esxi host - 4vms - Backing to NAS repo using Native VDP
Now customer wants same Hardware but Veeam as a backup solution
So we planned to deploy a VBR+Proxy vm and configure it to the same NAS repository
Now We need to know how to migrate the existing VDP jobs to Veeam

[Gostev]

You cannot migrate existing VDP jobs to Veeam.

HI,

Which Veeam Backup solution is suitable for a VDP image backup? I do not want an incremental backup, but a full image.

[Andreas Neufert]

Do you want to backup the VDP servers?
