SPBM is the foundation of the SDS Control Panel
• A common policy framework across VMFS, vSAN & VVols
• Abstracts underlying storage
• Intelligent placement of services at VM level

The Storage Policy-Based Management association is critical when it comes to backup and restore.
Otherwise, why use the new frameworks if you can’t ensure their service levels on restore.
VMFS snapshots a lot better in recent versions of vSphere, but Snapshots changed completely with vSAN and VVols.
Sounds great for your production workloads, what about backup?

Rules - HowPolicies in the backend are consumed by JOBS (or tasks, or schedules, or batch…)
Jobs are difficult to maintain at scale if they deal with single VMs or groups
The environment is highly changing, instead of changing jobs frequently, let’s have them adjust automatically

• Automate your VMs being added to a backup job by using vSphere Tags
• SPBM policies assigned to a VM will also be recovered

• Ensure that the restore process correctly matches the Storage Policy-Based Management association
IMPORTANT!

• VVol support came with complete vSphere 6 support in Veeam Availability Suite™ v8
• VVol backups follow much of the same workflows of a regular VM backup except their path is much more VVol aware

• Veeam Quick Migration (included in the FREE edition)• An out-of-band VVol migration tool • Migrate to a VVol from basically any source VM
arrangement
• Quick Migration allows you to completely reconstruct a VM on a VVol target without unnecessarily linking vCenterenvironments
• Source VM should be hardware 11
