Recommended Veeam backup server configuration is 1 CPU core (physical or virtual) and 4 GB RAM per 10 concurrently running jobs. In this case, the scale-out model should be used, so that data traffic for backups stays in the primary datacenter, while only management and replication traffic flows between the two datacenters.
When replication is used among multiple sites, the backup server should be deployed in the DR site to allow failover plans to work seamlessly, even in the case of the complete loss of the primary site. When planning to use Veeam Backup & Replication for backup jobs only, the backup server should be placed in the main data center alongside the infrastructure to be protected to leverage quick response times and local management traffic.
This design can protect big environments as both proxies and repositories can be deployed in multiple instances when needed.
Scale-out model is more powerful: we can have a “control plane” running VBR+EM+SQL in a virtual environment, to leverage the High Availability features, while the “data plane” with proxies and repositories will be different machines, each with their specific and optimized sizing. But it also become a single point of failure, as there is no redundancy. If this is done on a physical machine, this “Appliance” is totally independent from the environment it is protecting. All-in-one is more simple, requires minimum design effort (we only have to size the underlying server) and the Veeam server is self-contained. Scale-out (Dedicated server): the machine where the backup server is installed runs only this service (maybe also Enterprise Manager and SQL server are installed), so the sizing calculations only involves these roles.Ĭhoosing which deployment mode to use involves multiple considerations. In this case, the different configuration numbers need to be summed together to find out the final required size of the server All-in-one (Appliance Model): all the Veeam components (backup server, proxy, repository and possibly others) are installed in one single machine. This choice usually relates to the size and complexity of the environment: The first choice a designer has to make is if the Veeam server is going to be a machine dedicated to run only the central component of a Veeam Backup & Replication environment, or if it will host multiple roles at the same time. In this section, we will describe how to design and size the Veeam backup server. This site uses Just the Docs, a documentation theme for Jekyll. Restoring VMs to an HPE 3PAR with thin disks.
