The PastThe FutureVirtualization BackupDisaster Recovery

5 years ago

Backup of Virtual Machines wasn’t goodSCDPM was trying to but...Other vendors failed to do it good aswell

BMR of Virtual Machines was standardBackup remained “the old fashioned way”Backup WindowsRecovery worked but...Disaster Recovery plans were tougher then Rocket Science

VSS Improvements

The World of backup is changing…

Future?

Virtual Machine Backups? Bare Metal Recovery? Disaster Recovery?

Where?

Private Cloud?Public Cloud?Hybrid Cloud?Others?

One question: Where is our virtual machine?

Online Snapshots

Disk-Based Backup

Active Directory

Tape-Based Backup

Data Protection Manager

Up to Every 15 minutes

Disaster Recoverywith offsite replication and tape

Data Protection Manager

Data Protection Manager Overview

Scenario’s

Protecting standalone or clustered (both CSV and failover cluster are supported) Hyper-V computerProtecting the virtual machineProtecting virtual machine that uses SMB storageProtecting Hyper-V with VM Mobility

Methods of Backup

Online backupWindows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003

Offline backupBackup Integration Service is disabledVM has one or more dynamic disksVM has one or more non-ntfs volumesCluster Resource Group is offlineVM is not runningA ShadowStorage assignment of a volume inside the virtual machine is explicitly set to a different volume other than itself

Live Migration Supported Scenario’s

Challenges

Security/ComplianceCan US govt. get access to my data ?What happens if cloud gets hacked ?What happens if cloud operations person want to misuse this data ?Can Steve Ballmer get access to my data ?

You are safe for all of the above as data is always encrypted and private key is with YOU and not in cloud.Can I control where data reside ?- Yes
