Virtual Machine for the main veeam server.What are you backing up? What is the size of your backups? Thanks for your input r/storage I'm going to contact Veeam today, and go over the right way to build out a VM to replace the custom build from before my time. What do you think? Would you approve that replacement? Would you go a different direction? Am I better off just buying another server at that price? I expect that would land me right around $2,750. I'll also likely include a SSD system drive. those are running about $300 for an enterprise drive. So I'm thinking about using a raid 10 array of whatever enterprise HD is on special in that range with 4 of them. I'm at 90% on the repository drives, so I'm thinking I got to go for more space to last me 5 years on this device.īased on the Backblaze drive reliability stats it looks like the sweet spot on storage is about 12-14TB drives. Would you still use HD's for archive? It seems way more cost effective when dealing with a repository of this size. I was thinking of replacing it Q1 this year, instead of later because I've heard that SSD/Ram prices will go up by 40% by Q4 because of the 2 major fires at the chip producers. So my questions are, would you go custom? Or is there a off the shelf option that may be a better choice?
Veeam backup appliances upgrade#
Since it has to be able to run any of our servers if they go down I'll likely upgrade ram to 64GB ram. I was leaning towards a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (Passmark 23842), but was also considering a Ryzen 9 3900x (Passmark 31959). I assume it was built in late 2015, but it was before my time. The current device has 16.4 TB of usable space, and ran on an AMD FX-6300 (Passmark 6410) with 16GB of Ram on a GA-78LMT-USB3.
Veeam backup appliances archive#
With SSD's for the system drive, and HD's for the archive raid 10 array. What would you get for Veeam backup and recovery? I have a custom machine that is sitting my server room that we use for Veeam backups, and occasionally it runs servers in instant recovery. Also, feel free to contact any of the mods if you wish to discuss the rules.
