Why Vembu VMBackup?

Challenges ● Backing up a Virtual & Physical server typically is more expensive and difficult to

manage● As we all know that it requires a fundamentally different approach

Solution● Vembu VMBackup is exclusively designed for Virtual & Physical Environments

by the experts in the industry● Vembu fills a purpose here to be the best of breed technology in providing

manageable solution in affordable cost for both physical and virtual servers along with the applications that resides in the system and also optional Cloud Disaster Recovery.

Data Center Challenges

● Major-Everyday challenges faced by IT administrators with Microsoft Hyper-V Data centers

○ How I can ensure the Business Continuity ?

○ How fast I can recover the data center during disaster?

○ How can I avoid data loss during DR?

○ How can I rely on my backups ?

○ How can I modify the resources of the VMs without disturbing the production

environment

○ Migration Plans - P2V

7

Understanding RPO & RTO

RTO (Recovery Time Objective)Time duration to recover a backed up machine after disaster

Until which point in time you can recover the machine data after disaster.RPO (Recovery Point Objective)

8

Back to Business in less than 60 seconds

vembu offers industry best RTO which is less than 15 minutes.

Instant Virtual Machine Recovery

Instant File-Level Recovery

Explorer for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, SQL and Active Directory

9

Recovery Point Objective

Vembu offers near continuous data protection without affecting the production data center.

● Automated Backup & Replication scheduling

● Backup frequencies starts from 15 mins

Advantages of Hyper-V Backup

Host level Hyper-V backup is designed to protect Microsoft Hyper-V Servers

CBT enabled incremental ensures high performance incremental backup

Application-aware image processing for the VMs running Microsoft application

58

Architecture - VM Backup

● Vembu VMBackup Client/Proxy is a transport software, which sits on the source Hyper-V Server and

used to process the VM data.

● Vembu VMBackup Client works as a proxy between Hyper-V Server and Vembu BDR Backup Server

● Vembu VMBackup Client/Proxy backs up the VM data from the storage location and compresses,

encrypts and delivers it to the Vembu BDR Backup server’s storage repository.

59

Full Backup

● During initial full backup from host machine, Microsoft VSS services initiates the snapshot in the configured guest machine through “Hyper-V integration services”.

● Once the snapshot completes, Vembu VMBackup Client/Proxy will read VHD files and transfer the data to the storage repository

● After full backup, Vembu VMBackup CBT driver starts tracking VHD files associated with the guest machine.

● All changes in VHD files are efficiently tracked by the driver. ● When a incremental is scheduled, the block level changes alone will get backed up. This

improves the incremental performance and consistency of backup.

Backup Solution for Physical Windows Servers, Desktops &

71

Physical Server & Desktop Image Backup

● Vembu VMBackup Client agent needs to be installed on each physical servers and desktops which needs to backup

● Vembu VMBackup creates the snapshot of the selected disks by using Microsoft VSS● The snapshot of the full disk will be then compressed and encrypted before it leaving the source

server or desktop● The backup data will be further de-duped before storing it in the storage repositories● Vembu VMBackup Client installs a driver to track the changes after full backup and as per the

incremental scheduling frequency, the modifications will be transferred to the storage repositories

72

CBT (Changed Block Tracking)

● During incremental backup, Vembu’s proprietary driver tracks the selected disks and backs up only the blocks that have changed, rather than backing up every block.

● This helps to improve performance of incrementals by reducing the size of the increment data to be sent.

84

Other Advantages

85

Basic Retention (Forever Incremental)

● Vembu VMBackup will merge the incrementals based on the number of daily restore points we choose to keep. So you can run forever incremental with only one full backup.

● Normally hourly incrementals will be merged daily and based on the restore points, it will only retain last ‘n’ number of restore points. Rest of the daily merged incrementals will be merged with the earlier incremental backup.

86

Advance Retention - GFS Merge

● Provides ability to specify retention policy for merging

multiple recovery points via GFS (grandfather/father/son)

settings.

● Enabling above options will reduce the time taken to restore

backed up machines and most importantly reduce the size of

merged image files in the storage location.

● Generally, daily merge is known as ‘son’, weekly merge is

known as ‘father’ and monthly merge is known as

‘grandfather’.

87

Application Aware Process

● Application-aware process is to create consistent database snapshots by quiescing the applications using Microsoft VSS

● This option allows you to stop the backup if any one of application writers (Eg: MS Exchange Writer) were in an unstable state or if VSS writers were not processed successfully after the snapshot.

● Along with application consistency, it will truncate the logs based on the configuration.

88

Managing Backup & Replication Jobs

● Automates the backup process by scheduling from the window provided, later the

incrementals will run forever without any manual scheduling.

● configure backup window settings, if you don’t want to run incrementals during

non working hours and weekends

● Bandwidth Throttling feature enables the user to limit the bandwidth used by the

backup process from the client machine. If you don’t want to spend your entire

bandwidth on backups, use this feature to control or limit the bandwidth.

● Additionally you can specify the maximum number of full backups that need to be

stored in the server.

89
