There are so many technologies, but why do we use what we use? Why do we do what we do? The answer is how. It’s how we use something. I like to explain compliance in this way sometimes. No product or technology is inherently compliant. It’s how it is implemented and how it is audited. The same goes for technology implementations; it’s about how we use them. The how is the why.
Operations are still cool. There are so many razzle-dazzle job titles and buzzwords in the market today, but in the end, Operations are Operations. DevOps, PlatformOps, SRE (Sire Reliability Engineer), Platform Engineering… I do not need to go on, but no technology will take care of itself across all disciplines. How it is used, implemented, monitored, etc., matters today. Technology still needs humans and their knowledge.
Expert advice is the difference. We all learn from each other. When it comes to taking on the next new challenge, where does one go first? We look for resources to consume. Blogs, books like this, and social profiles; the established experts in the space are the trusted advisors in the technology space. Call it community, social sharing, or what you want; we all find ourselves going to the go-to experts of a particular space.
Above and Beyond. What Dave, Cristal, Cary, and Emile put forth in this book, in their practical advice for technology, is outstanding. They could easily focus on their professional responsibilities and keep them narrow. But writing a book is hard work! Editing a book is hard work! I’ve not discussed this with them, but I’m sure they aren’t doing it for the money of writing a book. They write this book because they go above and beyond, share, and care.
Veeam Backup & Replication creates VM image-level backups. It treats virtual machines as objects rather than a collection of files. Veeam Backup & Replication copies the entire VM image at a block level when you backup a VM. Image-level backups can be used for various restore scenarios, such as instant recovery, restoring full VM, recovering VM files, recovering file-level, and so on.
Typically, backup technology is used for VMs with shorter RTOs. When the primary virtual machine fails, restoring VM data from a deduplicated and compressed backup file takes some time.
The backup copy process is job-driven. Veeam Backup & Replication fully automates backup copying. It allows you to specify retention settings to keep the desired number of restore points and full backups for archival purposes.
The primary goal of backup is to protect your data from disasters and virtual or physical machine failures. On the other hand, having only one backup does not provide the necessary level of security. The primary backup and production data may be destroyed, leaving you with no backups from which to restore data.
