Veeam backup to nas
Right-click the management screen, click backup, and then File share to start the job creation. In our case, we have our ExaGrid using the Veeam Accelerated Data Mover protocol. When the SMB shares are added into inventory, now you move to make a backup job assuming to have the storage device in place as a target for this backup. The most important of those would be Output as some of the data is collected from devices or solutions no longer in the StorageReview Lab. For a VM this would be a hypervisor host added, but for a file backup, this is adding the known SMB shares and credentials to inventory.Īs shown below we have our three SMB shares added from our NetApp AFF A200, covering benchmarks (scripts), important files (OS deployment ISOs), and Output (output from benchmarks).

You need the device you are backing up added in inventory to start off. To solve that problem we finally deployed a file backup job in our Veeam v11 deployment.Ĭreating a file backup job follows a similar process to backing up a VM. These are currently protected against file deletions or other issues through the use of snapshot policies but have had limited protection from a total array failure. To date we have roughly 1.5 million files stored on our NetApp AFF A200 across three SMB shares. Not even looking at media content for the finished review, the various benchmark utilities generate a lot of output data we use to generate charts. The StorageReview Lab creates a lot of data as testing completes on various reviews in-process.

Thanks to a relatively quick deployment though, we are now backing up SMB shares from our Netapp A200, placing the backup data onto our ExaGrid using the ExaGrid-Veeam Accelerated Data Mover protocol. While already a Veeam v11 user for our virtualized environment, we hadn’t yet adopted Veeam NAS backup and recovery for our unstructured data. That notion holds true even in our small office. We’re all well aware that unstructured data continues to grow not just throughout the enterprise data center but throughout every small office in the world as well.
