Identify prerequisite knowledge in virtualization tools like VMware Workstation or VirtualBox and vSphere. Gain experience with Windows Server, Server Manager, software installation, networking basics, and Azure.
Explore the three proxy transfer modes in Veeam backup and replication: direct storage access, virtual appliance, and network block device, comparing performance, network usage, and restoration implications.
Master practical Veeam backup & replication courses you can apply to real production environments, and get accustomed to the instructor's accent as you progress.
Learn how reverse incremental backups keep the last backup as a full backup and merge daily increments to the roll forward, speeding restores to the most recent state.
Explore Veeam availability suite editions and licensing, from community to enterprise plus, and see how perpetual per-CPU and ten-instance licenses shape Veeam backup and replication and Veeam One.
Download Course installation files like ESXi, vCenter and course slides
Deploy active directory for the veeam backup lab. Configure DC1 dot lab dot local as primary domain controller and DC2 dot lab dot local for access and backup indexing.
Install ESXi as the first hypervisor in the Veeam backup lab, set up a VM with 100 GB, and configure static IPv4, DNS, and Active Directory integration.
Install DC2 as a virtual domain controller in the VM lab, connect it to DC1, configure DNS, promote it, and verify replication via Active Directory sites and services.
Install Veeam backup and replication via the setup wizard, choosing free or enterprise edition and connecting to SQL Server. Configure ports and locations like Power NFS, then access backup console.
Connect the Veeam backup server to a vCenter server by adding the vCenter to the backup console, verify certificates, and view VMware inventory to select and back up VMs.
Discover how to set up FreeNAS as an iSCSI SAN repository for Veeam backup, leveraging ZFS, external to the backup server, with hardware and network recommendations for optimal performance.
Discover how to download and install freenas 11.2 update five as a virtual machine, configure an iSCSI san with volumes and zvols, and connect veeam backup to the target.
Learn how a scale out repository aggregates extents from multiple storage to solve space and disk failure limits, using storage policies to optimize performance across cloud and on-premises backups.
Restore an entire virtual machine with veeam backup & replication from a backup, using the original or registered VMware hypervisor, and enable malware scanning with power-on during the process.
Restore a virtual disk from the latest incremental backups, selecting datastore and vmdk settings, and use quick rollback to recover an accidentally deleted or damaged disk.
Learn to perform guest file restore in Veeam Backup & Replication, recovering individual files from an image-level backup within a VMware VM using backup browser and overwrite options.
Back up a Linux virtual machine and restore either the full VM or specific files using Veeam Backup & Replication across ESXi hosts.
Restore a failed vm in minutes with instant recovery by mounting a backup vm image, selecting incremental or full restore point, and booting the vm instantly while vmdk is read-only.
Back up Active Directory using application aware processing to capture and restore individual users, groups, and OUs, and restore them to DC1 or DC2.
Learn how to perform volume-level restore of a physical server with Veeam, including using recovery media and bare metal recovery, while noting system volume and swap file limitations.
Export a volume-level veeam agent backup as a virtual disk, attach it to a virtual machine, and convert a physical server to a VM in VMware vSphere via ESXi.
