VIRTUALIZATION
Most storage deployed today was designed for the needs of 20 years ago
CLOUD

BIG DATA

4. Storage challenges in SharePoint deployments
The mission critical nature of SharePoint content demands rapid recovery from unexpected events (e.g. accidental loss of files or folders, loss of user account and user application).
For small and medium-sized customers, data backup, replication management, and cost-effective long-term data retention are a challenge when IT budgets and storage expertise are limited.
Multiple areas of “data” requiring backup/recovery or archive/retention:
Content libraries
SharePoint/App Service databases
Virtual Machines

Step Description 1
Veeam backup server requests a snapshot of the SharePoint VMs on the Hyper-V host. 2
The Hyper-V host quiesces the VM applications and requests a snapshot of the VSA volumes. 3
The HP StoreVirtual VSA creates the application aware snapshots. 4
Snapshots are mounted to the offhost backup proxy. 5
The Veeam transport service on the offhost backup proxy processes the backup data and copies it to the StoreOnce device. 6
Upon completion of the backup job, the snapshot is unmounted and deleted.

35. Veeam Explorer for SharePoint
Browsing SharePoint databases within compressed, deduplicated image-level backups of SharePoint virtual machines (VMs) without having to restore the entire database Searching for specific SharePoint items with rich search capability for e-discovery purposes Recovering and exporting items directly to the original SharePoint server, or sending items as attachments to specific users Support for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013

36. Veeam Explorer for SharePoint

37. Dataflow of Veeam recovery from StoreOnce and StoreEver
Veeam backups up the VM image(s) to a backup repository in a folder with the name of the backup job
An additional scheduled job archives (copies) the Veeam backups to Media Sets pulled from Media Pools of tape
For restores Veeam will load the required tape(s) and copy the Veeam backup file(s) to the backup repository; and for VM restores, restore the VM automatically
Once the restore is complete Veeam will delete the copied backup file from the repository
