What does it take to back up MySQL on a Linux VM? This is a riddle we sometimes hear at Veeam: When running on a Linux VM, how does one quiesce MySQL databases? Unfortunately, there are not many new ways to answer this riddle, and the answers we currently have are already tried and tested!

In my previous blog, we walked through Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows configurations and ways it provides for backing up data on travelers’ laptops to a cloud provider. Now should you need to recover your data, let’s see how to do it and which options you have with Veeam Agent.

Veeam is exhibiting at IBM Think 2018 this week, showing our joint IBM Cloud offerings, IBM storage integrated solutions and new managed services by IBM Business Resiliency Services. As Think opens today, it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the large contribution strong alliance relationships like IBM play in Veeam’s continued, unprecedented growth.

Back up is the first step along the journey toward data Availability and backing up data is a day to day task many of us do without knowing it. The real value in those backups is achieving efficient and fast recovery to meet the crucial demands of the business. Over the years Veeam has become synonymous with data Availability and with the integration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) storage, users gain industry-leading recovery capabilities to minimize data loss. This integration allows storage snapshots to become more purposeful through Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots, Backup from Storage Snapshots and On-Demand Sandbox for Storage Snapshots.

From the very beginning of Veeam’s history, it has been our people and our products that have set the company apart from others. Our customers continually share with us that their endorsement is because “Veeam Just Works.”

Since I’ve been at Veeam, I have always enjoyed telling the Veeam story around using SQL Server as a critical application that needs the best Availability options.

Today, in observance of International Women’s Day, I share my thoughts on what this means for Veeam and how elevating our female workforce is essential to our continued success.
