I needed a better solution for local storage for this effort because my old system consisted of multiple external hard drives attached to my iMac, which was messy and made it hard to access files from other devices.

I am liking what I am seeing so far with Veeam but need to know that it will do what I am after in a cost effective and management way. I can't see anything like that in Veeam Backup Repository setup screen but then maybe I am looking in the wrong place as this is a different program.Ĭan someone educate this potential convert is how to set this configuration up or advise if I am going about it the wrong way completely and there is another way? Still need to do seeds but easy to connect to the offsite location. In altaro I specific the IP address, open the ports and put the account info in and Bingo. I have installed Veeam Community Edition to trial and all seems straightforward for local backups but can't for the life of me find how to setup an external location that isn't cloud or a service. I need to be able to have the devices backed up to a location nearby where if required I can recover the device as both a virtual and physical. Need to be able to auto generate monthly backup reports for the clients (transparency)Ĭloud recover from AWS etc I s not an option due to the slow and unreliable internet in our area. Need to be able to manage all devices from one pane of glassĦ.
Offsite location will be a NAS unit located in the same town but at a different premises (Currently using Altaro Offsite server running on a Win PC connected to an ISCSI LUN on a NAS)ĥ. So if a client premise burns down I can have their server running at the offsite location within minutes/hoursĤ. Need to be able to spin up a virtual copy of the vms at either location at a moment notice. Offsite location in the same town (Not cloud)ģ. Onsite location (at client premises) usually a NASī. I need to be able to have two backup locations and two instant restore points for each client:Ī.
I have about 25 Vm servers across my client sites that need coverage and also a handful of workstations and physical serversĢ. Have been with Altaro for years but I am starting to see holes in it so looking for alternatives.ġ. New to Veeam (trialling it at the moment).
