As a Veeam Architect, I scope and deploy Veeam solutions to protect Azure, VMware, Hyper-V, and Microsoft 365 assets. I perform assessments and provide advise on improving the reliability, performance, and security of existing solutions.
I have over 9 years of experience designing Veeam backup solutions for over 60 clients with diverse environments and needs. I also designed, deployed, and managed a Cloud Connect for Service Providers environment in Azure. I have created professional Visio/LucidChart diagrams during each design phase to ensure accurate scoping and to provide logical understanding to internal IT/decision makers during the presentation phase. I also created a robust, automatic backup monitoring system with tickets created for reactive investigation and remediation.
Example of a Simple Backup Solution: On-prem VMware host w/ six VMs. BNR installed on a non-domain joined workstation and hardened. Local backups => Synology NAS. Offsite backups => Otava Cloud Connect. Solution satisfies 3-2-1 industry best practice.
Example of an Intermediate Backup Solution: VMware hosts at multiple locations. Some Azure VMs. BNR deployed in Azure on non-domain joined VM w/ managed disks formatted as ReFS 64K. Azure assets => Azure and Wasabi. On-prem assets >= Synology NAS and Wasabi. Solution satisfies 3-2-1 industry best practice.
Example of an Advanced Backup Solution: VMware, Hyper-V, Azure, and AWS assets. BNR deployed as VM on datacenter DR host. Assets backup/replicate to local physical/virtual repos to meet RTO. Copy jobs sync backups => datacenter repo. SOBR tiers GFS points to Backblaze B2. Critical VMware and Hyper-V assets are also replicated for failover.
Example of Additional Solutions: Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure is deployed in Azure and integrated into the Backup & Replication server for centralized visibility and management. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is layered on the Backup & Replication server as well to make use of the local repo for office backups of Microsoft 365 assets.
