1. Veeam Backup & Replication
More ways to WOW.

2. Today, many organizations are using legacy backup tools to backup virtual machines, but that’s using the wrong tool for the job…

3. Existing tools aren’t doing the job
Traditional backup
Agent in each VM
Full VM recovery is complex
Expensive
Does not guarantee recoverability
Typical VM backup
Backup code runs on hosts
Significant storage requirements
Limited recovery options
“A major reason that organizations still hit these bumps on the backup and recovery road: They use the same products for both physical and virtual server backup, when we all know that virtualization requires a fundamentally different approach.”
– SearchServerVirtualization.com

4. The right tool for the job
Built specifically for virtualization
Addresses unique requirements
Fewer spare resources
More data
Dynamic environment
Leverages unique opportunities
Whole VM restore
Unified data protection
Backups as datastores
At Veeam, we provide the right tool for the job
Unified data protection: backup + replication
Last bullet (Backups as datastores) is a lead-in to vPower

5. vPower Exclusive patent-pending Veeam technology
Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore the host can connect to
Compressed, deduplicated, incremental
Runs the VM directly from the backup file
On regular backup storage
Without making any changes to the backup file
“This is why I love Veeam. They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table and put them together into a functioning business solution.”
– Brett Westover
IT Administrator

6. Running VMs from backups
Quickly restart a failed VM
Test VM backups
Restore data from applications running on the VM
Create VMs for testing and troubleshooting
When you can run VMs from backups, there’s all sorts of interesting—and valuable—things you can now do…

This is how vPower works for VMware (vPower is also available for Hyper-V)

8. So that’s some of the underlying technology in Veeam Backup & Replication… now let’s look at each of the 3 main pillars of functionality: backup, replication and recovery

9. And let’s start with backup…

10. Backup Fast Efficient Reliable Disk-based backup Forever incremental
Changed block tracking  20x faster
VeeamZIP for easy ad-hoc backups
Efficient
Offloads processing from hosts and VMs
Excludes unnecessary data, and deduplicates and compresses the rest
Generates no special metadata
Accesses SAN storage directly
Reliable
No more babysitting backup jobs
Performs advanced application-aware processing
Automatically verifies recoverability of backups
NEW!
Backup with Veeam is everything you want backup to be: fast, efficient and reliable
Excludes unnecessary data: for example, swap files
Last bullet: And for VMware, Veeam Backup & Replication can automatically verify the recoverability of backups… (transition to next slide)

12. Why replication? Virtualization enables cost-effective replication
Inexpensive standby hosts
Dissimilar storage
VM-level (not application-specific)
Virtualization enables unified data protection
Image-based incremental backup
Image-based incremental replication
Only difference is the target
It’s not just a commercial bundling of products… it’s a cohesive data protection strategy

13. 2-in-1: backup and replication
Host-based replication
Replicate onsite for HA, offsite for DR
Numerous optimizations for efficient replication across the WAN
Replica rollback to protect against corruption of source
Assisted failover
Fail over individual VMs
Re-IP after failover
Real failback
Delta sync
1-click and confirm—for one or several VMs
Re-IP after failback
HA = high availability
DR = disaster recovery
WAN optimizations: traffic throttling, dual-proxy architecture, etc.; also replica mapping and seed from backup

14. (note to speaker: we’re talking about recovery from backup)
Now let’s talk about Recovery.
Recovery with Veeam is fast and flexible.
Let’s talk first about flexibility…

15. Flexible recovery Restore exactly what you need Entire VM
Individual VM files
Individual guest files
Application data
all from the same image-level backup

16. 1-Click File Restore Web- based Find the file
Right-click to restore one…
… or several files

17. 1-Click File Restore (continued)
Restore directly to original location
Uses guest interaction APIs
Does not require:
Direct network connection to VM
User permissions on host or VM
Agent in host or VM
Delegate file restores
“File Restore Operator” role
Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files, the host or the VM
Secure: files restored directly to original location
Can be restricted to certain file types (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)

18. A Virtual Lab We know how to clone VMs
BUT, a sophisticated backup tool can allow us to access the VMs within the backup file.
Reduce disk storage requirements (only changes)
Keep backup read-only!
Isolated from production network!
Explain the use cases of how this can help! Security updates, scanning, test a multi-tier application, etc.

20. Fast recovery Disk-based: no tapes to find, retrieve, mount, etc.
Immediate: no dependence on a catalog
Restore entire VM image: faster and less error-prone than rebuilding the machine and reloading applications and data
Instant File-Level Recovery (IFLR): restore individual guest files directly from the image-level backup, without any staging or special metadata needed
Instant VM Recovery: restart failed VM directly from the backup

21. Instant VM Recovery Fast: restart VM directly from backup file
Readily available: uses existing backups and backup storage
Buys you time: users keep working while you troubleshoot the problem

22. Deduplicated Backup File
How it works
Within 2 minutes!
VMware
vPower
Compressed/
Deduplicated Backup File
vPower NFS
This is how Instant VM Recovery works for VMware
Storage vMotion
VMware datastores
Backup storage

23. Quick Migration
The Instant VM Recovery trick is nice, but….. I don’t have Storage vMotion…
No problem!
The right backup tool can accommodate that as well.
One example is Veeam Quick Migration
Closes the loop. Mention how it replicates in the background, pauses, moves memory. Re-emphasize that the platform is leveraged.

24. Architecture Distributed architecture
Backup servers Backup proxy servers Backup repositories
“Automated everything”
Centralized management via Enterprise Manager
Intelligent load balancing

25. This illustrates how intelligent load balancing works

26. Architecture Distributed architecture Low TCO
Backup servers Backup proxy servers Backup repositories
“Automated everything”
Centralized management via Enterprise Manager
Intelligent load balancing
Low TCO
No agents: to license, deploy, monitor or maintain
Storage agnostic
Manage VMware and Hyper-V from a single console, with a single data protection infrastructure
TCO = total cost of ownership
No agents: for backup or for restore (1-Click File Restore)
Storage agnostic: use the storage that most cost-effectively meets your needs; use different storage in different locations

27. Real benefits to the business
Significant cost savings
Storage
Manpower
Downtime
Software licenses
Software maintenance
Server consolidation
Test labs
Risk reduction
Data loss
Unrecoverable backups
Human error
SLA compliance
Enhanced RTOs and RPOs to meet service-level agreements
