Does Veeam offer AWS backup automation?
How does Veeam Data Platform back up AWS workloads?
In short, Veeam Data Platform can automatically create and manage snapshots and backups of AWS VMs (including managed or unmanaged VHDs) along with VM configuration. Backup chains can be created with image-level backups or snapshots. Image-level backups can include full and incremental backups, and cloud-native snapshots include point-in-time snapshots. Recovery can be performed at the full- or file-level in just seconds.
Whenever we create a backup file that’s based on AWS VM snapshots or perform a recovery from an image-based backup file, Veeam Data Platform deploys temporary instances, called workers. These are deployed to AWS accounts only when you need to create a backup from a snapshot or restore.
You can either create specific configurations for each AWS region that you want to deploy workers in, or you can let Veeam can do this automatically. This means you don’t have to set them up for each and every region!
How often can I back up my AWS data with Veeam Data Platform?
Choose from multiple schedule options for both AWS snapshots (down to 60 snapshots per hour) and backups to satisfy even the most stringent SLAs. You can also define how long you’d like to keep snapshots and backups of your AWS data.
Scheduling can be automated based on policies set within Veeam Data Platform. You can define which AWS accounts you want to back up in each region, and you can choose whether you want to back up separate AWS VMs or use a tag-based policy so you don’t have to manually add each new VM to your backup policy.
Scheduling options also allow you to specify where you’d like to keep your AWS snapshots or backups. You can also choose from hot and cool storage options with Amazon S3. Veeam recommends that you use the cool storage tier option for AWS backup files, since it significantly lowers the storage costs.
How can Veeam help me keep my backup costs low?
Veeam Data Platform supports cost control in three key ways:
- First, Veeam Data Platform creates a backup from a snapshot, allowing for that data to be compressed.
- Next, those backups may be stored on lower-cost object storage. The compression rate supported in Object Storage could be 40-50%, depending on your settings, dramatically reducing your storage bill for longer term retention needs.
- Finally, the AWS Backup appliance within Veeam Data Platform supports cost estimation via a built-in cost calculator tool. When you set a policy for a given set of workloads, you can estimate that cost before you even complete your first backup. This ensures transparency end-to-end.
