1 The 5 Keys to Virtual Backup Excellence

2 The Challenges Percent of IT pros say virtualized server backups do not meet or only partially meet business goals for restores and recovery Percent of CIOs say recovery times from large-scale disaster are growing with the number of business-critical servers in the enterprise $43 million Estimated cost to Toronto Dominion Bank for losing two backup tapes in March 2012 Sources: 2012 CIO Pulse Backup & Recovery Survey: IDG 2011 Veeam Virtualization Data Protection Report

4 Agenda Overcoming barriers to virtualization Backup and restoration concerns among top barriers to virtualization penetration More VMware administrators choosing disk backup systems over tape 5 Keys to Virtual Backup Excellence ExaGrid overview Disk-based backup with deduplication Veeam Backup & Replication Fully leverage your virtualized environment Integrated solution Use Veeam Backup & Replication with ExaGrid s disk backup for optimal results Customer case studies

10 Disk Backup with Deduplication. What if you had 20:1 to 100:1 reduction in backup storage 50-90% faster backup times <5 minutes to restore a VM or file 98% reduction in replication bandwidth 0 forklift upgrades or models obsoleted Fast, efficient offsite disaster recovery Reliability, elimination of backup failures Investment protection as data grows

11 5 Keys to Virtual Backup Excellence 1. Deduplicate data for cost savings 2. Shorten backup window permanently as data grows 3. Make most recent backup fastest to restore The only disk backup with deduplication that permanently protects your budget 4. Deploy scalable architecture for cost-effective growth Up-front price comparable to tape, and protection over time by avoiding costly forklift upgrades 5. Eliminate tape and protect offsite data with disk

25 One Great Combination

seconds to minutes Confirm 100% restorability of critical apps Key Benefits:

26 ExaGrid and Veeam Solution Core Components: Backup storage - ExaGrid disk backup appliance Management - Veeam Backup & Replication What s Unique: Restore a VM in seconds to minutes Confirm 100% restorability of critical apps Key Benefits: Reliable backup and restoration Advanced deduplication and data replication for off-site protection

27 Veeam Backup & Replication Enterprise scalability Advanced replication Multi-hypervisor support Numerous enhancements, including 1-Click File Restore

28 Breakthrough Technology Designed from the ground up specifically for virtualization Leverages the advantages of disk as a backup target

29 v6 features Enterprise scalability Advanced replication Multi-hypervisor support Numerous enhancements, including 1-Click File Restore

30 Enterprise scalability Enhanced distributed architecture Before: Backup Server Now: Backup Server + Proxy Server + Repository Server Significant improvement in replication to ESXi Intelligent load balancing within and across jobs Not just round robin considers datastore connection, parallel tasks, etc. Eliminates backup storms and target saturation (problems reported by users of other backup tools)

31 v6 features Enterprise scalability Advanced replication Multi-hypervisor support Numerous enhancements, including 1-Click File Restore

32 Advanced replication 10x faster Leverages the enhanced distributed architecture Uses VADP s Hot Add mode to perform writes Also speeds up restores (and unlike Direct SAN mode, provides fast restores even on VMware thin provisioned disks) Improved failover Re-IP Re-home (for example, data center migrations) Real failback 1-click and confirm for one or several VMs Delta sync Re-IP

33 v6 features Enterprise scalability Advanced replication Multi-hypervisor support Numerous enhancements, including 1-Click File Restore

35 Built-in compression and deduplication Manage large volume of data generated by imagebased backups Included at no extra charge Also includes optional synthetic full backups to manage data volume

36 Unified data protection across hypervisors Single license, install and console Same data protection infrastructure but still hypervisor-specific (e.g., volume- vs. VM-level snapshot) Single console for VMware and Hyper-V Same data protection infrastructure for VMware and Hyper-V

37 v6 features Enterprise scalability Advanced replication Multi-hypervisor support Numerous enhancements, including 1-Click File Restore

38 1-Click File Restore Enhancement to existing IFLR IFLR = file-level recovery from an image-level backup Restore directly from search: 10:1 reduction in number of steps Delegated, agentless, secure

39 1-Click File Restore (continued) Webbased Find the file Right-click to restore one or several files

40 1-Click File Restore (continued) Restore directly to original location Uses guest interaction APIs Does not require: Direct network connection to VM User permissions on host or VM Agent in host or VM Delegate file restores New File Restore Operator role Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files, the host or the VM Secure: files restored directly to original location Can be restricted to certain file types (.docx,.xlsx, etc.)

44 Case Study Hoffman Construction Environment Before Began move to virtualization with five VMware ESX hosts and 60 virtual machines (VMs) VM snapshots, backed up to tape, stored on SAN Backup Window Took at least six hours to recover one Microsoft SQL Server database. Environment After ExaGrid appliance with Veeam Backup and Recovery Backup Window Fast, reliable and verifiable VM backups Backups completed in less than half the time Restores VM from backup in minutes to minimize downtime and disruption. Results Restored 100 percent of VMs almost instantly with no user disruption after a major SAN crash and loss of all data stored on VMs The integration of Veeam Backup & Replication and ExaGrid s landing zone architecture is a winning combination for flexibility and scalability.
