This machine is the “gateway” between the Production environment and the isolated bubble where the verification will occur.Īpplication Groups as the name is suggesting is a group of VMs from backups for which we need to verify specific applications running into Production. It is based on a Linux VM configured with 1 GB of RAM Memory. From an infrastructure point of view the Virtual Lab is a virtual appliance compiled on the fly and running during the Veeam SureBackup jobs. Virtual Labs are the isolated environments where Veeam SureBackup runs the VMs directly from the Backups and performs the verification tests. Simply put the Veeam SureBackup job consists in the configuration of two important elements: Virtual Labs and Application Groups. Veeam SureBackup powers on the VMs directly from backup files, runs the tests, produces reports and once completed powers down the VMs in the isolated environment.
For example on the latest backups available and even on specific days when running the Full and Incremental Backups. All these settings are automatic and can be conveniently scheduled to occur at specific times.
At that point the Veeam SureBackup job will perform various testings including amongst the others ping test, heartbeat test, CRC verification on the backup file and last but not least applications’ verification tests. Veeam SureBackup leverages a patented technology called Veeam vPower NFS to present and publish in an isolated environment the VMs in the Backups. How is Veeam SureBackup different and how does it work? But all Backup or I should say Restore strategies are not all the same and this is where Veeam SureBackup comes into play. The main reason why backups occur it is because they offer the ability to swiftly restore the data when and where you need it. Veeam SureBackup provides the ability to verify the recoverability of your data. One of the questions I usually ask prospective customers is: do you have a Backup strategy? The question might seem a bit rhetorical and usually so it does the answer: Yes I do! At this point my next question is: do you have a Restore strategy? It is at this point where the conversation is getting the traction at the right speed.
