Do you break down the VM backups and Rep jobs individually or bundle the VMs together and set say 2-4 concurrent jobs to run?<br />

snapshots! &nbsp;grr.

file - configuration backup - enable config backup options... encryption etc.<br />
e.g. i thought i encrypted a backup with PW and it failed. i assume the config options need setting up?

Yes, you will need to setup and config options required.<br />
<br />
It might be worth you reading the manual on Veeam Backup and Replication!

our veeam box is physical.<br />
also, once i run a full replication (takes as long as acronis) do following replicas use cbt?

after speaking with veeam tech, reverse incremental using application aware on backups seems best (yet to test recovery)<br />
replication to remote site isn't going to work over slow link. &nbsp;will stick to file level replication and database copies. &nbsp;will test a replication of a test server to see if exchange can be done

Veeam 8 Best Practices

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Veeam® has pioneered a new market of Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™ by helping organizations meet recovery time and point objectives (RTPO™) of less than 15 minutes for all applications and data. Veeam develops backup, disaster recovery and virtualization management software for VMware and Hyper-V virtual environments. The company focuses on products that help with virtualized workloads, reduce downtime, and ensure the system Availability required by service-level agreements.
