VM with no backup1. Create VM backup alarm in Veeam ONE via
Alarms Management tab.
2. Define the required
RPO and assign the alarm.
3. In the
Post alarm actions specify a batch file to trigger a backup PowerShell script.
4. When the alarm is triggered, the corresponding PowerShell script will create a quick backup of the VM.
If you don't have any VMs added to the backup jobs, then you can write a PowerShell script that will create a job for the VM and then run it.
Terminate job after X hours1. Create backup alarm and select jobs you want to monitor.
2. Define the maximum duration.
3. In the post alarm actions specify a batch file to trigger a backup PowerShell script.
4. The PowerShell script can be configured to perform one of the following actions:
• Stop the required backup job.
• Run a script to check for orphaned VM snapshots and then try to consolidate them.
Delete orphaned VM snapshots1. Use one of the predefined VM snapshot alarms (snapshot size or snapshot age).
2. In the post alarm actions specify a batch file to trigger a backup PowerCLI script which will try to consolidate all VM snapshots.
You can even specify the name of the snapshots you want to consolidate in the PowerCLI script.
Automated VM failover1. Detect failed VMs/hosts/datastores via one of the predefined alarms in Veeam ONE (for example,
VM power state,
VM Tools state etc.).
2. In the
post alarm actions specify a batch file to trigger a backup PowerShell script.
3. To make sure it is not a network glitch run additional verifications within the PowerCLI/PowerShell script.
4. Once all verifications are performed create a failover plan in Veeam backup console and then run it.
4a. As an alternative, you can create a PowerShell script to initiate VM failover operation without using failover plans.
4b. Additionally, you can start VM replicas manually via PowerCLI script.
VM tags in Veeam ONE and Veeam B&R1. Open
Veeam ONE Business View and create the required categories/groups for automatic categorization rules.
2. Create categorization rule or dynamic group via Business View. See the online help center web page for more info > Configuring Categorization Rules for
v.8 and
v.9.
3. Configure Veeam ONE to write VM Tags to the vCenter Server > Configuring Options for
v.8 and
v.9.
4. Verify Veeam ONE Reporter collection job schedule (this job is responsible for writing VM tags) > Scheduling Data Collection for
v.8 and
v.9.
5. Open Veeam Backup console and start using VM tags as a source for your backup and replication jobs.
