Notice is that a cluster backup does not use per-host-backup-chains if youĬonfigured your repository to “per-VM backupįiles”. Run the backup jobīackup job is the same as a classic VM backup job. After defining a name, you need to choose the type “Microsoft Active Directory objects”.

Go to the inventory and select “physical and cloud infrastructure” to create a new protection group. But it’s not only used for grouping, it manages the agent deployment to the computers. The backupĪ Veeam Backup & Replication protection group is a logical unit to group multiple machines to one logical unit. Earlier blog posts ( How to create a Failover Cluster in Windows Server 2019 and How to create a file server cluster with Windows 2019) show the setup of the system. In this article I will show how to backup a file server cluster with a shared disk.

It can backup Windows clusters with shared disks (e.g., a classic file-server cluster) or shared nothing clusters like Microsoft Exchange DAG or SQL Always-On clusters. Metal restore with Veeam Agent for Microsoftīackup and restore of physical Windows clusters is supported by Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. Install Windows, install all updates, install all the drivers, join the clusterĪgain and then remove the old cluster member, or you could simply do a bare Servers has a hardware issue and needs to be replaced. But also, it can save much time for the Windows Server cluster, you want to be able to restore that data. ForĮxample, if a user (or malware) deletes a file from a Microsoft Windows file Veeam Backup & Replication checks file versions in the backup repository against retention settings and moves backup data from the backup repository to the archive repository if necessary.Ensures high availability but does not protect against accidental data loss.

The backup proxy creates data packages and transfers them to the target backup repository.ĭata packages comprise backup data files (each 64 MB in size) and metadata files that contain names and versions of backup files and allocation of data in backup files.The backup proxy reads new data from the file share.If any files or folders of the file share have changed since the previous backup session run, the cache repository instructs the backup proxy to start reading changed data from the source file share. When the cache repository receives a new CRC tree structure from the proxy, it compares it with the CRC tree created during the previous run of the backup session. The cache repository saves the CRC tree.The backup proxy transfers the CRC tree to the cache repository.The backup proxy enumerates files and folders on the file share and creates a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) tree.When a new backup job session starts, Veeam Backup & Replication assigns a backup proxy to process the file share data.Veeam Backup & Replication performs file backup to the backup storage in the following way:
