Target audience
The course begins with an overview of modern data protection strategies and an introduction to the Veeam Data Platform. Participants explore common risk scenarios, what data should be protected, and how Veeam addresses enterprise data protection requirements.
This section focuses on securing the Veeam backup infrastructure, including access control, security best practices, and mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and data compromise.
Participants learn how to protect VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines using backup jobs based on defined SLAs. The section also covers protecting physical servers using Veeam Agents and safeguarding unstructured data such as NAS and SMB shares.
This section covers backup storage optimization, performance tuning, data consistency, and the configuration of backup copy jobs to support the 3-2-1 rule and long-term data retention strategies.
Participants learn how to implement backup immutability using Linux Hardened Repositories, protecting backup data from deletion, modification, and ransomware attacks.
This section explores replication use cases, architectures, and features, including continuous data protection (CDP) and when to use backups versus replicas.
Participants gain insight into Scale-out Backup Repository architecture, placement policies, data tiers, and infrastructure optimization techniques to support enterprise-scale deployments.
The course covers recovery verification using SureBackup, automated recovery testing, and how to integrate Veeam Backup & Replication into incident response and recovery planning.
Participants practice selecting appropriate recovery methods and performing recoveries across different data types, workloads, and scenarios to meet business recovery objectives.
The course concludes with monitoring, alerting, reporting, enterprise management, and basic troubleshooting techniques, including working effectively with Veeam Support.
