But today, it is here and I am nothing but happy about this. Without any doubt the only remark I have is that they should have done this sooner. I am happy to see this capability arrive. The Veeam NAS and file share backups in Backup & Replication V10 are delivering great results right from the start. An important use case, hence our early testing focus.įor an overview of Veeam NAS and file share backups as well as the details take a look here for a presentation on the subject by one and only Michael Cade at TFD20. These early tests are more focused on large image data such as satellite, aerial photography and mobile mapping images. This will include small office files in large quantities. Speedy restores are always welcome More testing to follow So to finish up this round of testing we share a restore. Restoresīackups are cool but restores rule. All this also leverages SMB 3 Direct and Multichannel by the way. Awesome! Our backup source fails over but the backup keeps running. That explains for the dip in the throughput, but the backup keeps running. So here is a screen shot of a Backup of a General Purpose File Shares with continuous availability where is initiate a fail over of the file share. Can you say office hours patching of file servers? The ease of maintenance it offers is too good not to use it when possible. SMB 3 haves given us many gifts and I like to leverage them.
I normally only deploy General Purpose File Shares with continuous availability anymore where applicable and possible. General Purpose File Share with continuous availability on a 2 node cluster With a properly configured network you can leverage SMB Direct and SMB Multichannel with this. Note that we use a SMB 3 file share here. But it all depends on what the source can deliver and the target ingest. With File Server you are limited to itself.
#VEEAM BACKUP FILES FULL#
It might have the added benefit that you can add more file share proxies to do the initial full backup if so required. If it is SMB 3 you can even leverage VSS if the NAS supports it. With a NAS you might not have the option to leverage the file server object.
#VEEAM BACKUP FILES WINDOWS#
9.9Gbps, 800-900MB/s, what is not to like about such early test results? Windows File Share As this is pure TCP it does not leverage SMB Multichannnel or SMB Direct. The speeds are great and I am flirting with the 10Gbps limits of the NIC. That is if you have a Windows or Linux server as opposed to an appliance. This is the preferred method if you can use it. These are your 3 major options and they cover 99% of file share uses cases out there. All operating systems run Windows Server 2019, fully patched at the time of writing. I tested a Windows File Server, a Windows File share and a General Purpose File Share with continuous availability on a 2 node cluster. Early testing of Veeam NAS and File Share BackupsĪs a Veeam Vanguard I got access to the Veeam Backup & Replication V10 RTM bits so I decided to give it a go in some of our proving grounds. My first test results with the RTM bits are so good I doing this quick publish to share them with you.
At that moment it is mission critical again. Yes, right until the moment you kill their mailbox. I know it is fashionable to state that file servers are dead, But that is like saying e-mail is dead. There are many of those in both the SME and enterprise market. It can also backup also many NAS devices. This means it covers Linux and Windows files servers and shares. We can now backup SMB, NFS shares as well as file server sources. Veeam NAS and File Share Backups are a new capability in Veeam Backup & Replication V10.
