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?
○ 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)
8
Back to Business in less than 60 seconds
vembu offers industry best RTO which is less than 15 minutes.
Instant Virtual Machine Recovery
Instant File-Level Recovery
Explorer for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, SQL and Active Directory
9
Recovery Point Objective
Vembu offers near continuous data protection without affecting the production data center.
● Automated Backup & Replication 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 System
VembuHIVE™ 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.
14
Other Advantages of Physical Server 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

Architecture
16
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

Deployment
18
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
19
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
LAN
20
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

21
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

22
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

24
How it Works ?
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.
Disk Image Disk Image
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.
