Any more than that and the scenario is not workable since we want to be able to rotate the disks daily. I'll kneel into the docs and the forum and I'm sure I'll be back with many detailed questions.īy 18 hours I mean that we'll start the whole backup process at ~20:00 and it should be done by 14:00 the next day so we can change the disks and take them off site.
By "I don't need detailed instructions" I'm talking about right now. But what's the fastest way to export this data? We have a 18h window, ultimately that's the hard limit. In both cases I assume Veeam will not suffer from performance loss due to small files being written. What's the quickest way to get the data out onto the external disks?įrom the top of my head, not knowing exactly how Veeam handles things, I would have though of the following options:Ī) Backing up directly into a repository of rotated disksī) Backing up into a local repository on the backup server (RAID5 of 10k or even SSDs), then "mirroring/exporting" this backup to the external drive Now I know that Veeam is quite smart with the synthetic full backups etc, but I'm not sure. My problem is that even our current backup volume of 5TB, at a very optimistic 100MB/s, will take 14 hours. Target will be 8-10TB external hard disks, the fastest ones I can get my hands on (so 7200 rpm probably). This consists of about 50-60 VMs of all sorts, Oracle databases, file servers, SQL servers, etc. We have about 5TB of data we need backed up. I don't need detailed instructions how to set up the backup, but I'm wondering what's the general strategy when backing up "large" amounts of data to external disks daily. I'm currently in the process of putting together a shopping list for our hardware.
We want to consolidate all of that with Veeam on a new Backup machine. We are currently backing up all our data with a combination of Backup Exec, VMExplorer, Acronis and Robocopy to a tape and disc destination. I'm sorry if that's a FAQ, but I didn't find an answer.
