Why Veeam for Disaster Recovery?

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) powered by Veeam gives you replication and failover abilities necessary to safeguard your business. In case of natural and technological disaster, PeaSoup’s cloud platform will act as a host with flexible IT resources such as CPU, RAM and storage for you to restore your apps and operational systems.

Failover

Without any disruption to your production workloads, you can perform full or partial (selected VMs only) failover to a remote DR platform. This can be done with just a couple of clicks from any time and anywhere as long as you have access to the internet.

Recovery

Veeam DR (disaster recovery) provides granular and rapid recovery of individual objects, files and individual application items from a simple and intuitive interface. DRaaS allows you to maintain business productivity with flexible and agile full-VM and item level recoveries with low recovery point objectives (RPO).

Easy to Use

With the help from the Veeam management portal and built-in 1-click failover orchestration, you can deliver quick failover testing or simulation. This allows IT admins to eliminate the costs and complexity associated with legacy DR methods.

Ransomware Protection

If you’re managing your company data backup entirely to on-premise servers on the same network you’re at risk of being hacked and encrypt with a virus. The ransomware will spread to infect your servers and gain access to your primary corporate network. Therefore, the ransomware attackers will have full control of your backup data and systems.

With disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), however, you’d be backing up to a separate, functionally redundant cloud environment, one that the hackers wouldn’t even know existed, let alone be able to infect with their ransomware code. With this method, you’re air-gapped from your primary network and your backups (“immutable backups”) are resilient against ransomware and other threats. Furthermore, any changes or deletion can’t happen without multi-level approvals.

*Please note additional storage will be required based on the retention policies. A virtual data centre (vDC) will be provided to allow for pre-preparation of the DR environment, network configuration, firewall rules, and more.

Hourly invocation charges will be incurred based on DR failover for live testing or actual disaster.

CDP – Continuous data protection is a form of data replication that copies data from a source to a target for example cloud S3 storage. CDP does this every time a change is made.

RPO – Recovery Point Objective

The last point-in-time that IT systems and applications can be recovered to. RPO is dictated by the replication technology used.

Backups, Storage Replication, Continuous Data Replication

RTO – Recovery Time Objective

How quickly applications are recovered and operations are resumed. RTO is influenced by the level of manual vs automated recovery processes.

Disaster recovery recovers the company’s systems, operations and processes once a disaster occurs, it is a process of bringing things as they were; for example, applications.

Business continuity is a process of defining business-critical services that you need in order to survive/properly function. It is all about services and putting the workforce back to work.
The forever forward incremental backup method produces a backup chain that consists of the first full backup file (.VBK) and a set of forward incremental backup files (.VIB) following it. During the first session of a backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a full backup file on the backup repository. During subsequent backup job sessions, Veeam Backup & Replication copies only VM data blocks that have changed since the last backup job session and saves these blocks as an incremental backup file in the backup chain. After adding a new restore point to the backup chain, Veeam Backup & Replication checks the retention policy for the job and deletes outdated restore points.

On a day when the synthetic or active full backup is scheduled, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a full backup file and adds it to the backup chain.

The reverse incremental backup method produces a backup chain that consists of the last full backup file (.VBK) and a set of reverse incremental backup files (.VRB) preceding it. During the first backup job session, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a full backup file on the backup repository. During subsequent backup job sessions, Veeam Backup & Replication copies only VM data blocks that have changed since the last backup job session. Veeam Backup & Replication “injects” copied data blocks into the full backup file to rebuild it to the most recent state of the VM. Additionally, Veeam Backup & Replication saves the changed block in the reverse incremental backup file and places this file before the full backup file. After adding a new restore point to the backup chain, Veeam Backup & Replication checks the retention policy and deletes outdated restore points.
