Veeam 100 Summit - Day 3

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This one is going to be huge. I initially thought of making this day on multiple blogs. So please forgive me for this long one.

The day started with Veeam One 12.1. Actually Veeam one is my favorite product for many reasons I will talk about separately.

One of the major announcements is a new tab called “Threat Center”

This tab shows number of scorecards, like:

Platform Security Compliance
Data Recovery Health
Data Protection Status
Backup immutability Status

It shows also RPO status for replication and SLA compliance overview.

Another announcement is “Enhanced Alarm Lifecycle”

This proves my vision for Veeam One, to be a comprehensive solution. As we can see, Veeam One enables seamless integration into existing toolboxes, capitalizing on Data Protection visibility.

With interoperability with ServiceNow, and Syslog standards to enhance incident response and ensuring an effective monitoring for data protection.

VB365 V8, what’s new?

Let’s recap for the architecture of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 V7 (formerly: Office365).

V8 comes with a new architecture, includes:

NATS Server (with JetStream)

Builds processing queues
Maintains a variety of operational streams

Centralized PostgreSQL database

Replaces SQLite databases from controller, proxies and repositories
Replaces local cache for object storage repositories

Ready-to-use object storage repository (Wizard)

Restore operations executed on a proxy(REST only)

Under the hood: All services migrated to .NET6

For backup proxies:

Proxy Pools

For object storage only
Better scalability
Load balancing by CPU/RAM consumption
Throttling-based balancing
Maintenance mode for individual proxies

Proxy on Linux:

For object storage only
RHEL / Ubuntu

So, here is the new architecture for V8:

But is it not only the architecture, there are some enhancement in data migration using PowerShell cmdlets VBODataMigration

Backups running in parallel
Migrate a backup job or organization
Switch jobs after migration
DOES NOT delete any data from source repository

There are more 🙂

M365: Basic auth is deprecated
Microsoft Teams
- – Private and Shared channels
- – Paid APIs –a default for posts backup
Get M365 user SKUs, including Education plans
Amazon S3 One Zone-IA support

Of course, there are a lot more information and announcements. To not make it that long, I will share each topic in a separate blog.
