Summary

This chapter has provided you with the tools required to complete the installation of Veeam Backup & Replication v10 and outlined what components make up the installation. We discussed the pre-requisites, including versions of SQL Server that you can use – Express or SQL Standard/Enterprise. We next addressed in detail how to set up proxy servers, as well as configuration best practices and optimal settings. This part was then followed by a discussion on repositories and how to create them, and also included best practices and optimizations for best performance. Lastly, we looked at the scale-out repository and how to set it up, including the performance and capacity tiers, as well as how to manage them after setup.

This chapter will ensure that you have all the basics covered and will help when we move to the next chapter, which covers the 3-2-1 rule—Chapter 2, The 3-2-1 Rule – Keeping Data Safe.
