Also, have a look at remote replica from backup: you can create replicas using backups on host2 as a source of data to minimize load on the source infrastructure on host1. Speaking about maintenance, I recommend to enable health-check to avoid potential issues related to data corruption during restore. Here at Veeam, we have been advocating this rule for many years to help organizations ensure recoverability when it is needed most. Tape: You can create GFS media pool and schedule GFS backups to run or you can run regular B2T job once per week with the disabled processing of incremental backups. Technical What is the 3-2-1 backup rule Technical Octo5 min to read What is the 3-2-1 backup rule Rick Vanover The 3-2-1 Rule is a rule to live by. You can stick with the desired GFS retention but you need to configure short-term retention as well, for example 7 days. I don't recommend to go this route as it does not allow you to follow 3-2-1 rule and have exactly the same state of data on two different medias. I suggest every customer or company to even go a step further : apply the 3-2-1-1-0 rule 3 : Maintain at least 3 copies of your data. ISCSi-2 target: As far as I understand, your goal is to keep GFS backups only on the secondary storage. Also, active full backups are resource-intensive and consume considerable amount of network bandwidth, this detail is worth taking into account when planning offsite backups. Basically, I think that synthetic full would be a proper choice, especially in case of REFS which enables Fast Clone functionality. You may have a look at this page of the best practices guide to get a better idea of pros and cons of synthetic and active full methods. ISCSi-1 target: You should schedule either synthetic or active full to run weekly so that the backup chain can work in forward incremental mode. If anybody has some recommendations to achieve this setup, or a better setup, please share your advice.Īny additional advice, like Synthetic, Maintenance etc would be greatly appreciated. I’m even thinking of just running separate Backup Jobs that will run on Sundays to get the retention I want on iSCSi-2 target. I just can’t seem to get the whole GFS and Backup Copy jobs to do exactly as I want. Weekends - Archive weekly backups to Tape for offsite archive. Weekends - Archive weekly backups to Host2 iSCSi-2 target, aim to have 2 weekly, 12 monthly and 2 yearly restore points. Weekdays - Backup Host1 VMs to Host2 iSCSi-1 target, 14 days retention, 2 Fulls for safety. ĝaily - Replicate all VMs from Host1 to Host2 internal RAID, with 7 daily recovery points (Done). đx LTO6 Tape drive (Long Offsite retention) Ēx iSCSi targets = 10TB each (Medium & Long retention) đx internal RAID = 4TB (for Replication) Hyper-V 2022 with VEEAM v11 loaded on host Host2 = Backup and Failover (remote building connected with 10GB fibre) ėx VMs running on an internal RAID = 2TB (max total) So, there is an extra 0 being added and should stand for :Ġ should be the result after malware detection, suspicious activity detection, ransomware detection and other new security functionalities now available and will come more in the future.VEEAM v11 just loaded, but even after researching, and attempting, I’m still battling to get the simple GFS 123 setup I want. Therefore the current 3-2-1-1-0 is not sufficient anymore and should be changed to the platinum backup rule 3-2-1-1-0-0 □ !!! Well, in version 12.1 of VBR there will be a lot of new functionalities regarding to detect ransomware, malware and detect suspicious activity in different ways. Well, in my opinion this golden backup rule is from now on not sufficient anymore and should be improved to a new rule! More info : 3-2-1-1-0 Golden Backup Rule | Veeam Community Resource Hub In every conversation with a customer I will discuss and clarify this topic.įor those who don’t know what the golden backup rule 3-2-1-1-0 means □, I wrote years ago a post of this topic it with more explanation (it pas my first post that achieved the weekly recap □). Everyone that knows me a little, knows that I’m a big fan of the 3-2-1-1-0 golden backup rule just like Vanover is also a big fan of this rule.
