I'm looking to build VBR under instance based license to backup setup above. I have 4 physical servers running Windows 2012 R2 (AD, File Server, MS Dynamic & SQL). I need your support to provide me with the right setup.
#Veeam backup for azure update#
I would use the latest release Update 3a for Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5. Would this scenario work? How would we restore if it did? es-windowsĤ.Ědding the newly create Azure File Share to Veeam Backup and Replciation Server as a repositoryĥ.Ĝreating backup jobs which then point to the Azure file share Mount /map the Azure File Share locally on the Veeam Backup And Replication server using these steps to mount the file share. What is the best way to do this as there seems to be no documentation?ġ.ěuild new Veeam Backup and Replication ServerĢ.Ĝreate and Azure File Share using these steps. I just want to backup the VMs to Azure storage and if our onsite backups have become corrupt or failed restore the backup from azure back down to on premise. We do not need any disaster recovery option. We need to backup the on premise VMs which are sitting on ESXi to Azure so we have an offsite backup. Uregent help needed as our tape drive has broken and our DAS has destroyed itself. Some customers have told us that they have such a B&R server "standby" to speed up things in a disaster.
#Veeam backup for azure install#
In worst case scenario, when you have lost the B&R server on-premises, all you need to do is install a clean copy of a B&R server on a VM in Azure, scan the secondary repository which is still in Azure, and you can start doing restores. Obviously your retention will depend on the retention that you have created for the BCJ's.Ĥ. On that secondary repository, there will be a backup chain so the information will be available there to do restores. Doing restores will be the same as when you have the scenario full on-premises. This actually works exactly the same as you would do it on-premises.ģ. You can do this by using a backup copy job and sending that over to the repository in Azure. At this point in time my suggestion is still to deploy a VM with datadisks and create a repository on that one.Ģ. So if you have a VBK which is over 1 TB you already will not be able to use this at this point in time.

The repository can be Azure files or Azure Data disks but do know that Azure files performance is not exactly that good and there are many limitations (5TB per share, max of 1 TB per file. You can install a VM in Azure, and make that VM a repository. I assume you have a site-to-site VPN or Expressroute to Azure? This will be necessary for this scenario.ġ.
