Implementation workflow

  • The following table outlines the process for implementing ECS for use with Veeam Backup & Replication.

    Table 2.      ECS implementation workflow

    Step

    Description

    1

    Install ECS.

    Engage, through your Dell Sales team, with Dell Customer Services and Professional Services teams for:

    1. Site visit
    2. Scope installation requirements
    3. Installation and configuration of ECS

    2

    Create ECS namespace for Veeam backups.

    3

    Create ECS access and secret key.

    4

    Create ECS bucket for use by Veeam Backup & Replication.

    The following table outlines the Veeam Backup & Replication workflow.

    Table 3.      Veeam Backup & Replication workflow for Veeam v12 and earlier

    Step

    Description

    1

    Install Veeam Backup & Replication.

    2

    Create backup repository (local disk) for the performance tier.

    3

    Create object backup repository for the capacity tier.

    4

    Create scale-out backup repository to use the performance and capacity tiers.

    5

    Configure backup sources in the Veeam infrastructure inventory.

    6

    Define backup jobs and policies.

    Table 4.      Veeam Backup & Replication workflow for Veeam v12

    Step

    Description

    1

    Install Veeam Backup & Replication.

    3

    Create object backup repository.

    5

    Configure backup sources in the Veeam infrastructure inventory.

    6

    Define backup jobs and policies.

    Both of these workflows are high-level approximations of requirements for successful implementation of a Veeam Backup & Replication solution using Dell ECS as an object store.

    When engaging with customers, Dell Professional Services and the Veeam implementation partner likely will expand on these steps.
