Introduction

Veeam Backup and Replication is a data protection software providing fast, flexible and reliable backup and recovery of virtualized applications and data.

In virtualized IT infrastructures providing mission-critical services to end-users, an efficient backup and restore mechanism is necessary for ensuring that critical servers that are involved in the delivery of a service do not suffer any data loss. Veeam backup and replication servers are becoming very crucial to the normal functioning of such infrastructures. If the backup service of the server fails, or consumes too much time to backup or restore the data of one/more key infrastructure components, these components might not be able to function properly until such time that all its data is restored to it. This in turn could have a disastrous effect on the service delivery. If such an outcome is to be prevented, the Veeam backup server needs to be closely monitored. This is where eG Enterprise lends helping hands to administrators.
