There also are considerations around updates made easier with vCenter, but again there is a use case for a simple deployment where easy is easy.Įvery time I share the ESXi host without vCenter, I feel like I’m the only one doing it. type of deployment I’d want to consider vMotion. Sure there is Veeam Quick Migration for free, but for a edge, ROBO, etc. VMware Tools Quiescence is disabled on the job level. To backup the VCSA with Veeam (step 1): Create a typical backup job. Then you would be able to restore the server from step 1, then restore the database to whichever point in time with the backup from step 2. While my homelab use case makes sense, not every production environment would however. VMware Best Practice shows to backup the database as regular maintenance.
Veeam backup vcenter install#
Note, the free ESXi is not supported as the APIs for agentless backups are not exposed to Veeam Backup & Replication: After a clean install of Veeam 6. It’s something we can use for effectively all types of backup and recovery jobs.Īdding a host, you can see this option where it states a standalone host is supported to be added. The Standalone Host section is where you’d see indeed just a standalone host. Inside of Veeam Backup & Replication, a standalone host looks like this: I also save a lot of memory on the host (important on a single host) and it makes the system startup quicker. Veeam Backup & Replication backups, replicas and more.It’s interesting when you use the ESXi host in a licensed mode, it allows a number of Veeam capabilities: We will go to our Veeam Enterprise Manager and login: Once inside we’ll go to Configuration: Within this configuration, we can already see the vCenters section, we will check that we have the latest version of vCenter 6.7, as well as the latest version of Veeam Backup & Replication v9. In our work lab environment, we definitely use the VCSA for a number of environments and if I need that type of environment, I’ll do that over there.
Veeam backup vcenter full#
I do *not* use the free ESXi hypervisor, as I use the vExpert license on the host to unlock the full APIs that I need for backup. I upgraded to a new host (still on vSphere) but really don’t need the vCSA. In March and April, I had to work from home for a while and it made me think about the home lab since I wasn’t travelling. At home I recently simplified my home lab. I do not run the vCenter Server Server Appliance (vCSA) at home simply because I don’t need it. The discussion started around we were sharing my homelab but the use case became attractive for retail, edge and other ROBO scenarios. Veeam Backup & Replication will routinely hit upon migrated VMs and proceed to process them as usual. 2) Navigate to the Backup Infrastructure section and click on Backup Repositories in the left-hand column.
Veeam backup vcenter windows#
1) Launch Veeam on your Windows Server and click Connect. I had a discussion recently about backing up ‘standalone’ ESXi servers, without the vCenter Server application. If an ESXi host is managed with the aid of a vCenter Server, it is advocated that you add the vCenter Server. To create a Scale-Out Backup Repository, you must first add a local storage component as a Backup Repository.
