Ein kurzer Post zum Abend. Heute ist Version 12.2 der Veeam Data Platform released worden. Ein kurzer Blick auf das Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2 – What’s New Dokument genügt und man möchte direkt mit der Aktualisierung starten.
Davor, rate ich allerdings, aufmerksam die Release Notes zu lesen, hier verlinkt unter Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2 – Release Notes . Ich liste noch die direkten Links zu den Release Notes für Veeam ONE und dem Veeam Orchestrator. Bitte beachtet beim Einsatz von ONE, dem Enterprise Manager oder des Orchestrator die entsprechende Reihenfolge des Upgrade-Szenarios.
Erst gestern habe ich bei einem Kunden noch die Basis (unter 12.1.2) für eine Backup Infrastruktur auf der Veeam Data Platform, unter anderem auch mit Veeam ONE, dem Enterprise Manager und zusätzlich Veeam Backup für Office 365 gelegt – nun kann es die Tage wohl schon an das erste Update gehen…
Für unsere Kunden und mich die nennenswertesten Neuerungen, anbei kurz aus den oben verlinkten Release Notes selektiert:
VMware vSphere
Full vSphere 8.0 Update 3 support — as opposed to compatibility-level support of vSphere 8.0 U3 provided by version 12.1.2, version 12.2 delivers full support of this vSphere version without the need to apply workarounds.Proxmox VE
Native support for host-based backups of Proxmox VE virtual machines (VMs) gives users even greater
freedom of choice to best fit changing business needs for both virtualization and cloud.Nutanix AHV
The new major update of our Nutanix AHV integration represents a fundamental evolution of our support for enterprise AHV environments through improved centralized management, expanded functional capabilities and backup architecture simplification.Direct to Archive
By popular request, scale-out backup repositories (SOBR) now support offloading aging backups directly
from Performance Tier to Archive Tier, without requiring offloaded backups to land on Capacity Tier first,
which can be relatively expensive in comparison to archive-class object storage…Malware Detection – Improved Onion links detection
based on user feedback, the onion links detection logic has been
improved to reduce false positives in some corner cases such as browser cache and OS swap files.Malware Detection – Index improvements
the CPU consumption during the guest file system index analysis has been lowered significantly to reduce the backup server load. Further, you can now reduce the index retention period if your guest catalog storage is running out of space…Security & Compliance Analyzer – Auto-apply script
the script referenced in KB4525 has been upgraded to simplify the enforcement of security and compliance measures.SureBackup – Continuous schedule
added a new scheduling option enabling continuous operation for SureBackup jobs within specified time windows…Object Storage
V12.2 is a recommended upgrade to all object storage users due to multiple under-the-hood improvements
and optimizations. The new version should put significantly less stress on object storage through reducing
the frequency of certain API calls up to 10 times, which therefore also reduces costs with cloud object
storage providers that do charge for API calls.Tape – Source restore point monitoring
based on a popular demand, the “no new restore points” warning
will now only be logged when the source job actually fails to create a new restore point. This change
should eliminate unnecessary warnings when the source backup job simply did not run yet or had been
intentionally disabled.
Viel Spaß beim durchlesen der Release Notes und natürlich mit den neuen Features. Ich werde mir das ganze nun mal im Detail anschauen 😉
