Product Description Backup by agents (Veeam® Agent)
Agent Backup allows you to back up applications, databases, volumes, files, physical and virtual machines based on Veeam® Agent.
The product is suitable for any physical servers, workstations and virtual machines based on Windows, Linux and macOS. Take a look list of supported operating systems. The physical and virtual systems from which the backup is performed can be hosted at any site, as long as there is access to the Internet:
- own infrastructure (On-Premises);
- private or public cloud;
- Any data center or provider;
- Selectel cloud servers, virtual machines and dedicated servers.
Agent backups include:
- Veeam Agent license — leased by the provider automatically under the rental licensing scheme. The license is available for agents managed via Veeam Service Provider Console portal (vac.selectel.ru);
- space in a cloud repository to store backups;
- centralized management of agents and backup policies through the Veeam Service Provider Console portal (vac.selectel.ru).
If you use the service Backup by agents Veeam Cloud Connect repository space is provided when ordering the service. If you already have your own Veeam Agent licenses, you can use the cloud repository. Veeam Cloud Connect for storing backups in the cloud.
If you need help with agent backup administration, order the service Service administration.
Technical realization
Agents
- Veeam Backup Agent (backup agent) — performs data backups, installed on a server or virtual machine;
- Veeam Management Agent — used to manage backup agents through the portal Veeam Service Provider Console.
Veeam Service Provider Console portal
Backups are managed through the Veeam Service Provider Console portal (vac.selectel.ru), with which you can:
- install and update agents (backup agents and management agents);
- customize backup policies;
- manage email alerts;
- Monitor agents, backup jobs, and cloud repository capacity.
More information about working with the portal in the section Working with the Veeam Service Provider Console portal and Veeam documentation.
Cloud repository
The cloud repository is based on the solution Veeam Cloud Connect.
To ensure fault tolerance, backup data is stored in three copies on different physical disks.
The channel speed to the cloud repository servers is unlimited. The network is built on 10GbE interfaces.
In a cloud repository, clients are isolated from each other and only have access to their backups.
