Agenda• 7 scenarios on designing Veeam Backup &
Replication• Small, medium, large. No SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Fibre
Channel• A starting point for your design• You can download these slides:

Backup storage is first decision• Opportunity: Ultimate VM Backup Architecture
Characteristics of first backup destination:Attribute Logic
High performance Meet the expectation of modern infrastructure systems
High cost Goes along with first point
Low retention (Relatively speaking) Keep most frequent restore points close, other points available.
Low capacity A consequence of all three of above

Critical Veeam Components• Console – The UI where you install Veeam• Proxy – Data mover, interacts with VADP, reads CBT• Built-In WAN Acceleration – Part of Backup Copy Job
to write restore points in remote repositories.• Repository – Disk resource to hold Veeam backups
VBK Format Veeam disk based backup format
Linux host With SSH and Perl, we can install a target writer.
Windows path LUN (FC/iSCSI), removable disk, drive letter, mount point.
NAS Target SMB, UNC, CIFS network targets

Component Requirements• Console• Modern 64-bit Windows operating system (Vista+,2008 R2+)• 4 GB RAM + 500 MB per concurrent job
• Proxy• x86 and x64 OSes supported (XP+/2003+)• Connectivity: Network, Storage• 2 GB RAM + 200 MB per concurrent task
• Built-In WAN Acceleration• Modern 64-bit Windows operating system (Vista+,2008 R2+)• 8 GB RAM• Disk for cache

Design #1: SMB, all virtual• NAS storage for
Veeam backups• Configuration of
Veeam sent toNAS resource
• Includes separation• Optional jobs for
VMs by exception

Design #2: NFS Storage• VA Hot-Add
is best datamover
• Proxies asVMs
• Backups separated

Design #2 - Alternative• Virtual repository• Multiple VMDKs• Or combine the
Proxy and theRepository

Design #3 – iSCSI storage• Virtual repository• Multiple VMDKs
or iqn targets for Veeam Backups
• Leverage VADP andDirect SAN access
• Hardware initiatoran option

Design #4 – Fibre Channel• Leverage VADP and
Direct SAN access• Highest performance• Cores for proxies

#5 – Fibre or iSCSI with Hot Add• Leverage VADP for
Hot Add reads• Can use dedicated
storage device as atarget repository
• Can easily scalenumber of proxies

Design #6 – Off-site backups• Veeam restore
points written toremote repository
• Uses new v7 feature• Backup Copy Job
with Built-In WANAcceleration
• Can provide GFS• Realistically only dedupe
