1. Considerations before creating a backup task

(1) add backup components, such as ESXI host, backup agent, backup repository

(2) there is enough space in the backup repository and Email notification is configured.

(3) to enable the Linux virtual machine of guest OS indexing, you need to configure a user account with Root permission.

(4) when you associate a backup task with a backup file that already exists in the backup repository, you need to Rescan the backup repository.

(5) when configuring a second save point for backup tasks, you can first create a backup copy or backup to tape to create a source.

(6) when backing up the SQL Server transaction log, the recovery model should be set to Full or Bulk-logged, which cannot be a simple mode.

(7) if the UNC path (shared folder) is used by the Sql Server database to be backed up, there is no way to guarantee consistency when the backup task enables application awareness. Transaction log files from the system database (Master,model,msdb) will not be used for Veeam Explore for Sql Server

two。 Create a backup task

(1) create a backup task by clicking the Backup Job menu under the Home menu or by right-clicking on the jobs on the left or the blank space on the right.

(2) enter the name and description of the backup task

(3) Select one or more virtual machines, or you can select a resource pool.

The backup task supports a resource pool, and newly added virtual machines in the pool are automatically added to the backup task. If a second backup target is specified, you need to create a backup task for Backup copy or Backup to tape first.

(4) Select a backup agent, which is automatically selected by default. The backup server in VBR also acts as a backup proxy. If you specify a backup proxy manually, you can select multiple backup agents.

Select the backup repository, that is, the location where the backup data is stored, and set the number of restore points retained. The number of restore points is different from the number of days of retention. If you create a backup twice a day, the number of days of backup retention is 7 days.

Advanced options:

Synthetic full backup: take data from the local backup repository and merge the full and incremental backups in the backup repository to form a complete backup, which does not consume the network and IO resources of the source host.

Active full backup: fetch data from the ESXI host, which will message the resources of the source host.

In the Vsphere option

If the backup virtual machine is running a Linux operating system with MySQL database installed, and transaction data consistency is required, you can select the "Enable vmware Tools quiescence" option.

(5) if the virtual machine is running Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, etc. that support Microsoft VSS, you can check the "Enable application-aware processing" option in the Guest Processing option.

(6) check the execution plan, and the backup task will be executed automatically according to the plan. You can set the number of retries after the task fails.

When the business in the production environment is heavy, you can set the backup window (backup window), and the task will only be backed up within the specified backup period.

The following figure shows that backup is not allowed from 6: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

(7) Summary information. If you check "Run the job when I click Finish" below, then click Finish, and the task will run immediately.

If unchecked, the task will run automatically according to the scheduled task in the task list.

(8) start backup task

The backup task you just created will be displayed in the task window. Click Start and you will start running the backup program immediately.

(9) after the backup is completed, click the corresponding task, and the completion and status information of the task will be displayed below. You can also right-click statistics or Report to view it.
