Agenda

Overview of Hyper-V Backup

Enable centralized backup and restore for VMs

Virtual machine’s configurationStorage associated with the virtual machine

Provide the highest level of guest constancy possible

Application consistencyFile system consistencyCrash consistency

Integrate with industry backup applications

Goals of Hyper-V Backup

HostWindows 2008 (with Hyper-V) or laterBackup application with support for Hyper-VStorage

Local, Clustered Storage, Cluster Shared Volumes, File Shares* (SMB 3.0 or later)

GuestOperating system(s) supporting application/file system consistency

Windows 2003* and laterLinux with version 3.5 Integration components

StorageVirtual Hard Disks – VHD and VHDx will be backed upPassthough disks, virtual fibre channel and guest initiated iSCSI not backed up

Host and Guest Requirements

Full BackupDefault backup modeWhat is backed up?

Virtual machine configuration file(s)Full copy of all attached virtual hard disk(s)

Incremental BackupEnabled on a per-VM basis via Hyper-V WMI APILeverages a special Hyper-V checkpointWhat is backed up?

Virtual machine configuration filesDifferencing virtual hard disk(s), since last backupOn restore the checkpoint is automatically deleted and VHDs merged

Full and Incremental Backup

Online – Backing up a running VM…Requires integration componentsThree modes: Full backup, Hot backup, Linux file system consistent backupProvides file system and application* constancy without disrupting workloads

Saved State Backup – Backing up a running VM…

No integration components requiredSaves the state of the VM, creates a volume snapshot and resumes the VMInvolves some workload downtime. This is reduced with the latest Windows rollup update

Offline – Backing up a shutdown VM…

Online, Saved State and Offline Backup

Windows VSS BackupProvides file system and application constancy through Windows VSS frameworkIntegration components must be installed and updatedFull Backup

Includes VSS auto-recovery steps which enables safe read-only access of backupWindows Server 2008 R2 (Windows 7) and later

Hot BackupSkips VSS auto-recovery stepsWindows 2003, Windows 2008, XP, Vista guest operating systemsHyper-V Replica – Application constant replica intervals

Linux File System Consistent BackupLinux Integration Components 3.5 or laterProvides file system constancy

Levels of Backup Consistency

WriterApplication Component That Generates Backup ContentExample: Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer or Exchange VSS Writer

RequesterBackup ApplicationExample: Windows Server Backup

ProviderStorage Component Responsible For Creating Shadow VolumesExample: Microsoft File Share Shadow Copy provider or storage vendor provider

Components of Windows VSS

HostHyper-V VSS writer

GuestHyper-V VSS requester

Registered in Hyper-V guestsHost VSS writer initiates a guest backup request via this componentCommunicates with guest VSS writers to coordinate backup of guest applications

Hyper-V VSS provider (new with Windows Server 2012 R2)Registered in Hyper-V guestsCommunicates with Hyper-V guest VSS requester to coordinate storage access

DPM Private Cloud Protection journey so far

Public cloud as target

Private cloud protection

“We are now going in full production with DPM for VM level backups which will free up time for us. We’ve been able to reduce significantly the number of man hours needed – down from 3 FTE to 0.25 FTE.

Once again Microsoft has proven that they keep on innovating so that we as a partner do not need to implement point solutions.”

While risk is increasing:� More complex IT

� Outage, Data Loss

� Disaster

Business Continuity, Disaster Recoverysolutions: � very expensive�only for a few

‘Distributed application consistent’ VM backup support in a cluster using the ‘CSV Writer’ and ‘CSV Provider’

Multiple VMs running across the cluster nodes on the same ‘CSV volume’ is now consistent with in a single VSS snapshot.

Initializes VSS backup once on the ‘backup node’VSS Provider is called only on the ‘backup node’Faster backups, Fewer snapshots

SMB 3.0 application consistent backup support using File Server Remote VSS protocol.

RPC based protocol used for creating shadow copies of file shares on remote servers.

VSS invokes the ‘File Share Copy Provider’, if SMB share is added to the shadow copy set. ‘File Share Copy Provider’ invokes the RPC commands on the Remote VSS Provider(FSRVP Agent) for Start, Prepare, Commit, Expose, RecoveryComplete operations.
