Backups are a daily part of IT. Organizations invest considerable time, effort, and money making sure systems and data are backed up. And well they should: with virtually every aspect of business dependent on automated systems or electronic data, the ability to recover quickly is essential to business continuity.
But how reliable are your backups?
Even if the backup job reports success and the backup file passes its integrity check, you have no assurance that you can actually recover from that backup. Theres always the risk of storage corruption. And with image-level backups, there are more moving parts and more that can go wrong.
The dirty little secret
The truth is, no one can really vouch for the reliability of their backups. After all, you cant possibly test every backup—theres simply not enough time in the day. So IT managers have come to accept the risk. Its not that youre doing anything wrong—youre simply operating within the constraints of the available technology.
But Veeam is about to change all that.
A true breakthrough
Veeam has developed patent-pending technology that will allow you to verify the recoverability of every backup—for every virtual machine (VM), every time. Its the latest innovation in our SureBackup approach to data protection.
So instead of just hoping that you can recover from a backup, youll actually know that you can—because you already did so as a routine part of the backup process.
Too good to be true?
How do we do it? By running VMs directly from compressed backup files. Its an ingenious solution to an age-old problem that leverages the power of virtualization and the innovation of Veeam. We call this potent combination Virtualization-Powered Protection, and it significantly enhances disaster recovery so you can fully realize the promise of virtualization.
From faith to fact
By verifying the recoverability of every backup, Veeam sets a new standard for data protection. Soon, you will no longer have to settle for backups that might work or should work. Instead, you can rest easy knowing that your backups actually do work.
How it works
Using new patent-pending technology, Veeam publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore that an ESX host can connect to. During recovery verification, we automatically create VMs in an isolated environment and run them directly from the backup. We start each VM, boot the OS, and confirm that everything is running normally. You can even verify that applications are functioning properly and data is intact.
A key component of this innovative technology is the ability to run a VM directly from a compressed backup file. Since you dont have to extract the backup, running a VM from the backup is fast and requires very little storage (just a small amount to temporarily hold changes). Minimal host resources are required and can typically be provided by existing machines—in production, a QA lab, or even your DR (disaster recovery) site.
Universal application-item recovery
The new technology also enables granular item-level recovery for ANY virtualized application. For example, you can recover individual emails from your email system, individual objects from your network directory, or individual records from a database.
No special backups or agents are required. Simply run the requisite VMs from a backup taken before the problem occurred, and extract the items you need. It doesnt matter what application youre administering or what OS its running on—just connect with any of the applications native management tools, and retrieve the items you need. Or let users connect to the application and retrieve items themselves. Because youre running from a backup of the production system, all permissions are already in place.
Stay tuned
These new capabilities will be delivered in version 5.0 of Veeam Backup & Replication, due out later this year. You can keep up with all the latest developments at
