Weekly restore job?

Post by bhagen »

I may have a requirement soon to restore a sample file from backup once a week in order to prove that our backups are working well on a specific server.

Is there a way to automate this? I haven't yet found how to create a recurring "restore" job.

(We're talking about having a specific person make a change to a specific file once a week, and then having Veeam restore that file the next day to a different location, like a share on that person's PC.)

I'd much rather just do a SureBackup job and send a report, but...I haven't gotten around to implementing that just yet; toooooo many other projects.

Thoughts?

Surebackup is actually super simple to set up - As long as you have a VMHost with some spare RAM to test boot a VM, schedule it and check the log once a week.

Indeed, SureBackup does look exactly like what you're after - you can set up a script to perform restore operation once the VM is up in the virtual lab.
