Today I will share a scenario for Veeam VBR v12 and Dell Data Domain, refer to the details below.
Original Architecture
- 1 x Veeam Backup and Replication v11 (virtual machine, management only)
- 1 x Local Backup Repository
- Copy 1 to Storage LUN
- Copy 2 to existing Data Domain Appliances
Enhance the backup performance and data protection architecture
New Architecture
- Data Center B is for new VM environment
- Deploy a new Veeam Backup Replication v12 and new Backup Repository at Data Center B
- Deploy a new Dell Data Domain at Data Center C
- Upgraded the existing VBR to v12
- Setup 2 partitions on all Data Domain appliances
- Copy 1 to Storage LUN
- Copy 2 to existing Data Domain Appliances
- Copy 3 to new Data Domain from existing Data Domain
Benefits
- It can deliver the new features on Veeam VBR v12
- The backup flow of existing Veeam VBR and new VBR is separated
- 3 data copies architecture
- Data Domain (DD) supports the multi logical partition to share the total size, each DD have two logical partitions, one for existing Veeam VBR another one for new deployment
- For Backup flow, the backup data will store on storage LUNr, then copy the backup from backup LUN to existing DD. Finally it replicates the data to new DD
- It can provide the cyber resilient solution for Modern Data Center
