Veeam Next Big Thing

Post by crackocain » 2 people like this post

Hi

I want to ask about Veeam Agents. Is this agent makes realtime replication? Like Doubletake or Arcserve. This is crucial because some of customers prefers this solutions over Veeam because of that.

I truly happy heard about Veeam v10 supports IBM SVC Storage snapshots :)

Office 365 Backup also great feature.

Great work guys. Congratulations.

Please separate your tech release announcements from the exec stuff.

Too many techs and admins didn't like having their time wasted with charts they had zero interest in.

I totally get form a marketing perspective that the "Hybrid Cloud" was the biggest "Next Big Thing." But from a tech perspective I think support physical workloads was far more applicable to legacy systems. Which is HUGE.

So thank you for bring that to the fore front, but the presentation could have been brought forward better, just my 2 cents.

Seirously trying to get my head around all this... I can now back up my Azure hosted VMs with the Windows/Linux agent, but I have to transfer this data to my on-premises storage or to a 3rd party who I pay separately to host my data in Azure for me?

Is there / will there be a reference design for customers who are primarily in Azure / AWS with small on premises workloads?

Mongie- You could store your Veeam Agent backups in a public cloud provider like Azure, AWS or even a Cloud Connect provider, however it's NOT required. You could also use local storage, USB drives, NAS devices etc as a backup target - which includes also Veeam Repository's (either On-Prem or Cloud Based).

If you had a subscription, say for instance Azure and had IaaS, ie - Windows Server VM with disk attached, this could be a repository for protecting workloads running in Azure. The major takeaway is that regardless where the workloads run, there's a Veeam strategy to assist with ensure they're always available.

There's many strategies to achieve the RPO and RTO that would meet your requirements. In the end it really comes down to what your individual requirements are and create the best deployment.

It's all about backup. Think about it as Veeam Endpoint Backup for Windows, though, with fancy new capabilities included specifically to guarantee proper server backup. Thanks.

One of the bullet point feature items for the linux client is "Multiple Backup Jobs", but I don't see that on the Windows Client bullet point feature list. Will the Windows Client be able to do multiple jobs? Say, Job#1 is the OS disk with certain retention, then job#2 is a data disk with different retention policies?

There will be one job available within Veeam Agent for Windows. There's additional options like AAIP and transaction log backup that are ONLY available in the server edition.

+1
We all know marketing must be done, please think of who your audience is and adapt your presentations.
Otherwise thank you for doing the stream and solving the connection problems so fast

I wrote this month ago as a feature request and such a simple feature was not possible?

Will the auto update from endpoint upgrade to the new version itself or do i have to uninstall download and install manually?

The EP should be updated to new version automatically. Though, we'd have a definitive answer closer to its release. Thanks.

Hi

I'm wondering if there's any plans to support unix/solaris agents in the near future, so we can finally get rid of Commvault?

Thanks

Unfortunately we don't have UNIX systems on our roadmap yet.

So then if we were going to utilize the agent in a DR scenario, we'd have to use the agent to back up to DR and then once the backup is at DR, then replicate those VMs to the host environment - is that correct? If so, then it's "best effort" at continually running the backup job(s). Does Veeam have any metrics that they can give us on how fast the agents process the backups & what the overhead might be for, say a 1000 user Exchange server? It would be nice to know if we consider that road.

Also, is the Agent bundled in with any of the packages?

We prioritize features based on the number of requests and value to the product, as opposed to submission date or [perceived] simplicity.
