Overview of this book

Veeam is one of the leading modern data protection solutions, making it a necessary skill for anyone responsible for securing virtual environments. This revised second edition of Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication is updated to cover Veeam version 11. The book guides you through implementing modern data protection solutions for your cloud and virtual infrastructure with Veeam, all while helping you master advanced concepts such as Continuous Data Protection (CDP), extended object storage support, Veeam ONE enhancements, and Orchestrator. Starting with Veeam essentials, including installation, best practices, and optimizations for Veeam Backup & Replication, you'll get to grips with the 3-2-1-1-0 rule to safeguard data. You'll understand how to set up a backup server, proxies, repositories, and more and then advance to cover a powerful feature of Veeam 11 – CDP. As you progress, you'll learn about immutability (also known as hardened repositories) and discover the best practices for creating them. Finally, you'll explore the new proxy option available in Linux and become well-versed with advanced topics such as extended object storage support, Veeam ONE enhancements, and Orchestrator. By the end of this Veeam book, you'll be able to implement Veeam Backup & Replication for securing your environment and enabling disaster recovery.

Summary

This chapter reviewed CDP and what infrastructure components are required. We covered how to add CDP proxy servers for use in both the source and target VMware clusters. We took a look at how to install the I/O filter for your clusters Also, we covered how to create a CDP policy that runs to complete the replica of your protected VMs. While we did not touch on the failover process, a provided link describes the entire process.

Hopefully, you will have a better idea of what CDP is all about and how it is set up with the required components. The next chapter, will take a deep dive into the more advanced feature of setting up immutable repositories.
