A little over four years ago, Veeam introduced the Scale-out Backup Repository. Since that time, we increased its capabilities most recently with the Veeam Cloud Tier. If you’re not using the Scale-out backup repository, you should be. I’ll explain why.

In Veeam Availability Orchestrator v2, we have two types of Orchestration Plans. First, the Failover Plan we all know and love, which quickly brings your replicas online.

With the introduction of Restore Plans, you can now orchestrate restores from backups with ease. This is a game changer as it means orchestrated DR isn’t just for enterprises or the most mission-critical of VMs — it’s for all organizations, all applications and all data. Using the same, simple wizard, building a Restore Plan is quick and easy. Let’s take a walk through that process.

It's not been long since we launched Veeam Availability Orchestrator v2, bringing with it full orchestration and automation support to restores from Veeam backups. This brought brand new DR possibilities – including the ability to achieve real DR from backups – with extreme operational efficiencies. The orchestration technology that delivers methodical, planned and proven DR was once only available to enterprises or the most mission critical of applications, is now available for all applications and data, no matter how they've been protected.

From time to time, I'd like to highlight certain Veeam ONE features you can leverage to be proactive when it comes to identifying threats that could significantly impact the integrity of your data. In particular, one of the most common threats that is the catalyst for many sleepless nights of datacenter professionals today ― ransomware.

Here is a hot topic for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 users: how to reallocate a license to a user without waiting 31 days. In order to remove a license from a user, you first need to delete that user’s data from all configured repositories and run the remove license command with PowerShell. Let's do this!

As companies grow, data grows and so does the backup data. Managing data is always an important aspect of the business. A common question we get around Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is how to manage the backup data in case something changes. Let's discuss the needs of data management and how we can help.

In this blog I want to talk about my experience of RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RocEv2) within a Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct deployment and an alternative option for RDMA over Ethernet, iWARP.

Veeam was one of the first to embrace vCloud Director and through the years has continued to support each release as the platform accelerated their release cycles and gained momentum as the default Cloud Data Management platform for VMware-based service provider offerings.

We have listened to the VCSP community so please welcome our new Veeam Community plugin for vCloud Director!

When coming up with the idea for this topic, I asked myself, "Why would someone need to create a VTL?" For myself, I needed something I could play with in a lab environment without the cost of extra equipment, but this is something you can do in your production environment as well. This article covers how to create a free VTL (virtual tape library) on CentOS 7 and connect it to a Veeam server.

One of the critical services in many companies is the file servers, which serve file shares where users or applications store their data. If the file server is offline, then people cannot work. Downtime means additional costs, which organizations try to avoid. Windows Server 2019 (and earlier versions) allow you to create highly available file services. This blog describes how to create a file server cluster with Microsoft Windows Server 2019.
