    Study Notes

    Veeam Backup and Replication Components

    • The Data Mover component is responsible for retrieving data from the source, compressing, deduplicating, encrypting, and sending data to the backup repository for VMware backups.

    Backup Repository

    • The purpose of the Backup Repository is to store backup data.

    General-Purpose Backup Proxy

    • The General-Purpose Backup Proxy acts as an intermediary between the Veeam Backup Server and the virtual infrastructure, and is used to offload backup and restore operations.

    Transport Modes

    • Transport modes in Veeam Backup and Replication determine how data is transferred between the source and the target.

    Supported Storage

    • Veeam Backup and Replication supports following storage options: Local storage, DAS, NAS, SAN, and Cloud Storage.
    • Tape storage is not supported by Veeam Backup and Replication.

    Mount Server

    • A Mount Server is used to mount VM disks and perform granular recovery of files and application items.

    Hardened Repository

    • A hardened repository is a secure and immutable storage location that provides an additional layer of data protection.

    Veeam Deduplication Storage Appliances

    • Veeam deduplication storage appliances are used to reduce the size of backups and improve data storage efficiency.

    Restore Component

    • The Veeam Explorer component is required for restores that work with guest OS files and application items.

    Gateway Server

    • A Gateway Server is used to facilitate communication between the Veeam Backup Server and the Mount Server, and enables secure data transfer.

    Deployment Types

    • A simple deployment is used for small to medium-sized environments, while a service provider deployment is used for large-scale, multi-tenant environments.

    Data Retrieval Method

    • Veeam Backup and Replication uses the VMware vSphere API to retrieve VM data for backup jobs.

    Component Roles

    Data Mover

    • The Data Mover component retrieves data from the source, compresses, deduplicates, encrypts, and sends data to the backup repository.

    VMware Proxy

    • The VMware Proxy acts as an intermediary between the Veeam Backup Server and the virtual infrastructure, and is used to offload backup and restore operations.

    Gateway Server

    • The Gateway Server facilitates communication between the Veeam Backup Server and the Mount Server, and enables secure data transfer.

    Mount Server

    • The Mount Server is used to mount VM disks and perform granular recovery of files and application items.
