I'm currently looking at VEEAM for a possible backup implementation for work to modernize some dated backup systems. I'm currently doing some research and am trying to wrap my head around a few things, I was wondering anyone might be able to point me in the right direction? Currently we use DPM 2012 to manage backups with the schedule working as the following:
- All data is backed up to a disk share provided by a SAN via iSCSI. Data snapshots taken incrementally every day every 6 hours for the business week from Monday to Friday. The data is currently that of physical machines and servers running some legacy software.
- A final full backup is performed to disk for all data on Friday night in order to consolidate the working week's data at night.
- The full backup is then pushed to tape for offsite and storage on the weekends.
- Tape is the offsite to another location the following week as a means to provide an air gap.
Thanks for reading.
