Backup windows to Tape Library using Veeam and backup Replication 9.5 update 2

Nối tiếp phần trước sử dụng agent để backup data về server, phần tiếp theo mình sẽ hướng dẫn sử dụng Veeam BE 9.5 update 2 backup data, windows vào băng từ.

1, Mô hình lab:

Mô hình trên bao gồm:

- Các server nội bộ gồm DB, AD, File SV....

- 1 Backup Server sẽ cài đặt Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 update 2, vai trò là backup server trung gian, backup data từ các server nội bộ về đây.

- Tape library kết nối trực tiếp với Backup server qua card SAS 6Gbps hoặc 12Gbps tùy nhu cầu

**Lưu ý: Có nhiều người khi làm backup, họ thường backup thẳng từ file server ra tape, việc này tốn thời gian khá lâu, làm ảnh hưởng đến đường truyền . Việc này không tốt chút nào.

Nên sử dụng Backup từ local disk sang backup server, sau đó duplicate ra tape. Việc backup dữ liệu ra ổ cứng trên server nhanh rất nhiều so với việc ghi trực tiếp vào tape, điều này làm job backup kết thúc sớm và ít rủi ro. Sau khi backup ra local disk xong chúng ta sẽ thoải mái thời gian clone nó ra tape.

Sau 2 đến 3 ngày sẽ auto delete dữ liệu cũ trên backup server đi để trống ra cho các task backup tiếp theo. Để hiểu rõ cách sử dụng Veeam BE để backup ra tape, các bạn xem hướng dẫn bên dưới

2, Add Tape Server

Để kết nối giữa backup SV và tape, ta tiến hành Add tape server vào

Chọn Server Backup

Review lại

Khi Add tape Library thành công, quá trình khởi tạo bắt đầu chạy

Xem thông tin Tape

3. Inventory Library

Lần đầu tiên khi add tape vào thiết bị , những đĩa tape này chưa được Veeam BE định nghĩa, do đó chúng ta phải làm thao tác khởi tạo Inventory Library cho nhưng đĩa tape này
