Post by agaitan026 »

Hi happy new year everybody, theres any offsite solution for veeam community version? what you guys recommend?

I have a vmware esxi that i need to backup (15 vms)

i know i can use another server with ssh, but i would like to know if theres any commercial solution already without creating a server o having a disk connected to that vmware esxi machine.

thank you

You will have to use a paid veeam version.
Community Edition will only let you backup 10 of your 15 vms.
With Community Edition, you will be able to copy your restore points to a second Site, but you will have to configure a backup repo server there.

For Object Storage (Azure, amazon or onpremise S3 Storage), you will need at least Enterprise Edition Functionality.

For using a Veeam Cloud Connect Provider, you will have at least Standard Edition Functionality.

Yes, veeam Community Edition cannot upload Backups to „object Storage“ or „Veeam Cloud Connect Repositorys.

In your case with 1 esxi and 15 vms, you will to buy at least 15x VUL-VeeamBackupEssentials (Veeam Universal License).
And you will need a Backup Server on Premise. Upload to Object Storage is only possible with the first backup chain stored to a SOBR (Scale Out Backup Repo).
Direct upload to object storage is not possible.
i just will be able to backup to a regular linux machine with ssh
Can you tell me more about that? Never heard of a backup technology, specifically veeam todo backups with the help of ssh.
Are syou talking about a onPremise Linux Backup Repository? SSH will be used to deploy the veeam binaries. After that, veeam will use a native transport service/Agent for transport the backup data to the linux repo.
