VBR-13 study notes

• Veeam transport modes: Direct SAN, HotAdd and Network

  How a backup proxy reads VM data, the order Veeam tries the modes in, and when it falls back to Network mode.

• Forward, forever forward and reverse incremental backup in Veeam

  Where the full backup sits in each chain, what each method costs in storage and I/O, and why reverse incremental is deprecated in v13.

• The Veeam Linux hardened repository

  Immutability, single-use and certificate-based credentials, and what a hardened repository will not let you do.

• Veeam backup copy: immediate copy vs periodic copy

  How each backup copy mode picks restore points, when it runs and how GFS fulls are created.

• Veeam backup, replica or CDP: choosing by RPO and RTO

  Which Veeam technology meets a recovery point and recovery time objective, and what each keeps.
