Efficient Backup with Veeam Backup & Replication and SnapServer NAS
Seamless integration of SnapServer with VEEAM Backup & Replication enables efficient backups with
disaster recovery capabilities to RDX removable disk, SnapCLOUD or remote SnapServers.
In virtualization-powered data protection, disk storage systems are preferred. Overland Storage‘s SnapServer NAS solutions offer scalable, secure and reliable
storage and is the ideal device for central storage and primary backup targets. In addition, a secondary backup target such as tape or removable disk is highly recommended to achieve full disaster protection.
Overland Storage SnapServer NAS
Built upon the award winning GuardianOS, the SnapServer
product family offers enterprise class management and data protection features, from entry level desktop
systems to highly scalable rackmount systems for large enterprises.
The SnapServer family provides features like DynamicRAID which offers seamless storage
expansion by adding or replacing hard drives as capacity needs change. In addition, all SnapServer storage
volumes can grow or shrink dynamically within the storage pool without IT intervention,
preventing costly provisioning errors and unnecessary upgrades.
The Veeam Data Mover service running on SnapServer allows for the processing load to be distributed
between the Veeam backup server and SnapServer.
This results in faster backup and recovery tasks and simplifies recovery architecture.
Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication offers fast and reliable backup and restore of VMware
vSphere and Mircrosoft HyperV Servers and data. Veeam
Backup & Replication consolidates backup and replication into one product and sets the new standard for Backup
and Recovery by leveraging the benefits of virtualization with Veeam vPower Technology.
Implementing a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Solution
SnapSever provides
data protection
features
like dynamicRAID
or replication
capabilities,
but a
backup
copy is still necessary
to address
accidental
or inadvertent
deletions
and system
failures.
To be fully protected
against
site failures,
at least one backup copy should
be stored
offsite
as the
last line of defense.
With SnapServer
as the primary
backup
target,
we have a few options
for disaster protection. Attaching
directly
an RDX QuikStor
removable
disk system
to the SnapServer,
provides an easy to
deploy
backup
solution
that meets
offsite
compliance
requirements.
In case of a disaster, VMware
and Hyper-V host configurations and data can be easily recovered from an RDX
media.
For replication
to a disaster
recovery
site, SnapServer offers Snap ECR (Encrypted
Continuous
Replication)
at no additional
cost. Snap ECR provides
a continues
data replication
to 1 or multiple
SnapServers
at remote
locations.
As it replicates
changed
data only, Snap ECR ensures
higher performance and bandwidth savings.
For backup
to cloud requirements,
SnapCLOUD
can be incorporated
into the backup strategy.
SnapCLOUD
is a virtual
NAS appliance
built on Microsoft
Azure
with enterprise
grade
data
management
capabilities.
It provides
the same interface
and features
like SnapServer
which reduces
the learning curve and training cost.
SnapServer,
SnapCLOUD
and RDX can be perfectly
merged
to create
a comprehensive
disaster
recovery solution based on multiple backup copies and off site vaulting.
