Overview of VxRail with VBR
In previous chapters of this book, we mentioned that VxRail bundles some data protection software, such as VMware vSphere Replication, vSAN stretched clusters, and Dell EMC RP4VMs. If you do not use these data protection features on a VxRail cluster, you can use third-party data backup and recovery software—for example, VBR. Figure 10.11 shows a sample architecture of VxRail with VBR:
Figure 10.11 – A sample architecture of VxRail with VBR
In the configuration shown in Figure 10.11, there are four Veeam components—the VBR server, the VBR console, the backup proxy server, and the backup repository one VxRail cluster with four nodes, and one embedded vCenter Server instance. We can create a backup job to protect the VMs on the VxRail cluster with the VBR server. All backup images of VMs will be stored in the backup repository. In this scenario, the backup proxy server is a virtual host that can be deployed into...
