Last week, the new version of Veeam Backup finally appeared & Replication, version 7, In this document, we'll look at the simple process of upgrading your backup server from V6 to V7. On the Tundra IT website you have more information about all the new features that the new version brings!
One of the new features of vSphere 5.1 was the introduction of vSphere Data Protection (since vSphere Data Recovery is discontinued), a new virtual machine backup and recovery software for our vSphere virtual infrastructure 5.1. Like VMware Data Recovery uses VADP (vSphere API for Data Protection) with CBT (Changed Blocks Tracking), but it also uses EMC Avamar's variable block-level deduplication to optimize copies and restores. Provide deduplication together to all appliance tasks and VMs. It is fully integrated with the vSphere Web Client and will provide the possibility of file recovery to end users.
Once our hosts have been configured, it is advisable to keep a backup copy of their configuration, an easy way to back up the entire configuration of an ESXi host is by using the VMware vMA appliance or by using the VMware vSphere CLI (vCLI). Once we have the backup, we can restore it if necessary in a simple way, we will also see another command to reset ESXi hosts to factory values.
If we want, we can use VMware and Microsoft tools to be able to export the configuration of our VMware View installation 4 so that it can later be imported in the event of a disaster into a new Connection Server. Since all configuration is stored in an LDAP directory and each Connection Server has a local copy of the repository and replication.
This Veeam product called Veeam Backup and Replication, offers us the possibility of both backups and replication of our VMware virtual environment, for both VMware Infrastructure 3 How to VMware vSphere 4 (VMware ESX or VMware ESXi, depending on the license purchased, that the product is paid for, but very cheap). It will allow us to make backups of the virtual machines that we indicate in the location that interests us, We will be able to keep as many copies of the same virtual machine as we are interested in, as Veeam will store them incrementally. Personally, what I like is the replication, since the backup is given to us by VCB or VMware Data Recovery, replication can be carried out in another storage array that we have and the replicated virtual machines will be optionally placed in the VMware inventory, just like backups, We can have so many replicas […]
VMware Releases New Virtual Machine Backup System Called VMware Data Recovery. It is a virtual appliance based on CentOs 5.2 which we will incorporate into our virtual environment, and with a plugin we can manage from the VMware client, as it integrates with our VMware vCenter Server. I have to tell you that I love how it works, is fully customizable, We can make backups of the virtual machines that we are interested in, We can indicate how many copies we want it to keep of each virtual machine and for how long; how many machines you keep for us for a specific time. The best thing is the technology you use to make backups called deduplication, This will prevent duplicate copies of virtual machines, but in the next copy it will only copy the differences with the complete copy, This is, an incremental copy! We will be able to restore the entire virtual machine, […]
Well, the other day I saw this in an official Microsoft doc and it had to be tested. It refers to being able to take snapshots of our Active Directory, for the simple fact of taking it to another computer and performing some tests with LDAP tools for example, or to see how our Active Directory was doing at any given time, in case we have to do an authoritative AD restore and we don't know what an object or container is called (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=1593), or to use with ADrestore to find out what a Tombstone is called (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=1567)… In any case, it is not advisable to have many snapshots that are not going to be used due to loss of performance.
Well, ahora veremos una pequeña diferencia con el otro tipo de restauración, esta es una restauración autoritativa. Para realizar esta restauración es obligatorio haber realizado antes una restauración no autoritativa (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=1582). Con esta restauración lo que realizamos es una replicación de los objetos que acabamos de restaurar a los otros controladores de dominio, indicando que ‘nuestro’ Directorio Activo es el origen de la réplica. Para realizar está restauración, no debemos reiniciar el servidor DC tras la restauración no autoritativa.
GOOD, In this document we will see how we can restore our Active Directory backup in case we need it to recover from a catastrophe. To do this,, We will need a backup of the system state (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=1574) or a full copy of the server. This is called performing a non-authoritative restore of Active Directory, since we will not indicate which objects we want it to forcibly replicate to the other domain controllers.
It is worth explaining well, how to make a backup of our Active Directory in case at any given time we need to restore objects from it, are users, Ous, Printers… This document explains how to install backup software from Microsoft, since NTBackup has not been continued, but with a new utility called “Windows Server Backups”.
