#VEEAM BACKUP FOR LINUX WINDOWS#
I now get the possibility to choose either Microsoft Windows or Linux, for this session I will select Linux When the «New VMware Proxy» wizard launches, I select Add New…
I right-click and select “Add VMware backup proxy” Here I can see my existing proxies, which is the Windows server running Veeam B&R. This is not a very poor performance for my old lab-setup.Īdding a backup proxy is done from the Backup Infrastructure tab. The processing rate is at 169 MB/s and the primary bottleneck is the network. As we can see, the job normally takes around six minutes, in this case 6 minutes and 7 seconds. I make sure to add the “disk.EnabeUUID” configuration parameter to the virtual machine.īefore I add my linux proxy, I review one of my backup jobs, shown below. As we can see from the picture below, I will give this VM 8 vCPU’s. Veeam has a very nice documentation about this feature here: Veeam B&R Backup Proxyįirst of all, when creating the virtual machine for this Ubuntu server, the most important setting is vCPU, as this is the resource that will make the most difference to the backup jobs.
#VEEAM BACKUP FOR LINUX INSTALL#
An important prerequisite is to install ssh when installing the OS of the Ubuntu server. In this session, I will show how I set up an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server as proxy in my lab. In those cases, using a linux server instead, is an economic and smart solution.
Using a Windows server as a proxy will from time to time trigger a new Windows server license, which isn’t desirable. Veeam B&R supports both MS Windows and Linux proxies. In certain environments, setting up proxies in different segments of the network, will be necessary out of security reasons as well. Why set up a proxy in Veeam? Well, in many production environments the implementation of a proxy will give a positive impact on throughput and lowering the time backup-jobs take. In this quick session I will describe how I set up a linux server as backup proxy in my lab. Welcome to my Veeam Backup & Replication Series.
