Why Vembu VMBackup?

Challenges ● Backing up a Virtual & Physical server typically is more expensive and

difficult to manage● As we all know that it requires a fundamentally different approach

Solution● Vembu VMBackup is exclusively designed for Virtual & Physical

Environments by the experts in the industry● Vembu fills a purpose here to be the best of breed technology in

providing manageable solution in affordable cost for both physical and virtual servers along with the applications that resides in the system and also optional Cloud Disaster Recovery.

Data Center Challenges● Major-Everyday challenges faced by IT administrators with VMware

Data centers

○ How I can ensure the Business Continuity ?

○ How fast I can recover the data center during disaster?

○ How can I avoid data loss during DR?

○ Exponential data growth

○ How can I rely on my backups ?

○ Migration Plans - P2V

Understanding RPO & RTO

RTO (Recovery Time Objective)Time duration to recover a backed up machine after disaster

Until which point in time you can recover the machine data after disaster.RPO (Recovery Point Objective)

Back to Business in less than 60 secondsvembu offers industry best RTO which is less than 15 minutes.

Recovery Point Objective

Vembu offers near continuous data protection without affecting the production data center.

● Automated Backup scheduling

● Backup frequencies starts from 15 mins

● So you can assure RPO less than 15 mins

● Image level backup

10

Backup Verification

Backup data should be recoverable. If not, it is worthless. Vembu provides ability to run automatic backup verification for all backed up VMs and physical machines.

○ Backup verification can be automated to run post completion of every backup schedule or once in a day.

○ In the process, booting of backed up Virtual/Physical Machine will be carried out. and screenshot of boot screen will be captured. This screenshot details will be sent to administrators via email.

VembuHIVE File SystemVembuHIVE™ is an efficient cloud file system designed for large-scale backup and disaster recovery application with support for advanced use-cases. VembuHIVE™ can be defined as a File System for File Systems.

● In-built version control

● In-build Compression & Deduplication

● Encryption

● In-built error correction

12

Virtual Lab

Vembu is the only Backup & DR solution that offer its customers:

● To create virtual lab on major hypervisors like VMware, Hyper-V and KVM.

● To instantly create a virtual lab for testing backed up Virtual/physical machines without requiring added storage and leaves production data center undisrupted.

● To keep the persistent copies for future use or terminate it.

13

Migration Plan (P2V and V2V)

Having plan to migrate physical to virtual environments(VMware/Hyper-V)? Looking for a cost-effective solution with less downtime offering and less workload?

● Vembu has in built solution to all your migration plans.

● Vembu supports instant creation of VMDK, VHD and RAW files for backed up virtual/physical machines; So that users can instant start migrations P2V(Physical to virtual) and V2V(between virtual environments).

● Above all, the above mentioned migrations can be achieved with very less downtime.

Architecture

15

Physical Server & Desktop Image Backup

● Vembu VMBackup Client agent needs to be installed on each physical servers and desktops which needs to backup

● Vembu VMBackup creates the snapshot of the selected disks by using Microsoft VSS● The snapshot of the full disk will be then compressed and encrypted before it leaving the

source server or desktop● The backup data will be further de-duped before storing it in the storage repositories● Vembu VMBackup Client installs a driver to track the changes after full backup and as per the

incremental scheduling frequency, the modifications will be transferred to the storage repositories

16

Deployment

17

Physical or Virtual ?

● Vembu BDR Backup Server, OffsiteDR Server and VMBackup Client can be installed on physical or virtual machines

● It depends size of the environment● Small business may use virtual machine for Vembu BDR backup server and

OffsiteDR server● Recommending physical machine for Vembu BDR backup server and OffsiteDR

server to get instant boot feature● Physical server will obtain additional hardware costs

18

On-premises Deployment

● Setup DR site in your local environment and backup via LAN connections● Backup VMs, Physical Machines applications to the local storage repositories

19

Hybrid Deployment - Scenario 1

● Setup DR site in your local environment and backup via LAN connections and send another copy of backup data to Vembu Cloud via WAN connection by signing up Vembu CloudDR service

Hybrid Deployment - Scenario 2

● Setup DR site in your local environment and backup via LAN connections and send another copy of backup data to your Own Cloud via LAN/WAN connection by deploying Vembu OffsiteDR Server

Remote office/Branch office

Setup Vembu BDR Backup Server and Vembu OffsiteDR Server in both Remote office and Branch office and sync backup data between both the locations

Backup Server Clustering

● You can easily scale up the backup server when backup load increases● Backup requests will be equally shared between each backup servers

How it Works ?

24

Advantages of Windows Image Backup● An effective backup software to recover data against system crashes and to

recreate a system similar to the old one

● Vembu uses VSS (Volume Shadow Snapshot) to take image backup of the entire disk or specific partitions.

● Vembu's proprietary CBT technology ensures the true incremental backup by minimizing the time taken and data size during incremental backups.

● The backed up image can be either restored to the same machine during disaster recovery or the same image can be mounted and booted up as a virtual machine on any Hypervisors like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM.

25

Backup Configuration

● Backs up the Windows servers, desktops and laptops

● Backup entire machine by selecting all disks or select any specific disk for image level backup

● Supports MBR and GPT disks

● Supports disks greater than 2 TB

● Supports Windows 2003 SP2 and above

● And Windows XP SP2 and above

26

CBT (Changed Block Tracking)● During incremental backup, Vembu’s proprietary driver tracks the selected disks

and backs up only the blocks that have changed, rather than backing up every block.

● This helps to improve performance of incrementals by reducing the size of the increment data to be sent.

All Blocks Changes Only

27

Basic Retention (Forever Incremental)

● Vembu VMBackup will merge the incrementals based on the number of daily restore points we choose to keep. So you can run forever incremental with only one full backup.

● Normally hourly incrementals will be merged daily and based on the restore points, it will only retain last ‘n’ number of restore points. Rest of the daily merged incrementals will be merged with the earlier incremental backup.

28

Advance Retention - GFS Merge● Provides ability to specify retention policy for merging

multiple recovery points via GFS (grandfather/father/son) settings.

● Enabling above options will reduce the time taken to restore backed up machines and most importantly reduce the size of merged image files in the storage location.

● Generally, daily merge is known as ‘son’, weekly merge is known as ‘father’ and monthly merge is known as ‘grandfather’.

29

Application Aware Process

● Application-aware process is to create consistent database snapshots by quiescing the applications using Microsoft VSS

● This option allows you to stop the backup if any one of application writers (Eg: MS Exchange Writer) were in an unstable state or if VSS writers were not processed successfully after the snapshot.

● Along with application consistency, it will truncate the logs based on the configuration.

30

Managing Backup & Replication Jobs

● Automates the backup process by scheduling from the window provided, later the incrementals will run forever without any manual scheduling.

● configure backup window settings, if you don’t want to run incrementals during non working hours and weekends

● Bandwidth Throttling feature enables the user to limit the bandwidth used by the backup process from the client machine. If you don’t want to spend your entire bandwidth on backups, use this feature to control or limit the bandwidth.

● Additionally you can specify the maximum number of full backups that need to be stored in the server.
