To exclude specific days from the schedule, clear check boxes next to the necessary days. By default, Veeam Agent will start the backup job daily at the specified time. In the list of days of the week, specify days on which the job must start.In the Daily at field, specify the time of day when the backup job must start.In this case you will be able start the configured backup job manually at any time you need. If you want to configure the backup job without schedule, you can clear the Run the job automatically check box. Make sure that the Run the job automatically check box is selected.To specify the schedule, do the following: For details, see Specifying Backup Schedule. Monthly and periodic schedules for a backup job can be specified in the command line interface only. In the Server edition of Veeam Agent, you can schedule the backup job to run on specific days of the week or month, as well as periodically. I also created a new SureBackup job which will include both the lab and the application group for Exchange.In the Free and Workstation editions of Veeam Agent, you can set the backup job to run automatically on specific days of the week. Then i created an application group in preparation for an upcoming Exchange Server which will include all needed VMs. I created a virtual lab with the name “LAN_LAB” with corresponds with my local area network. Now all screenshots represent the Exchange topic. For some readers it was confusing to have a virtual lab for a domain controller but talking about Exchange Server. Using Veeam SureBackup is a real time saver, even if it’s just for backup testing or more complex stuff like patch and release testing for your applications. But you don’t have to struggle with complex tasks or spend a lot of time to manually tests the backups. If there is an issue you can still intervene and fix it. But it safes you much time when you let your infrastructure do the work for you. Add a virtual lab and an application group and then create a SureBackup job. Setting up Veeam SureBackup doesn’t take that much time. Your SureBackup job is now created and ready for action. You can create a virtual lab for all your SureBackup jobs or you can create one for each SureBackup job. The ressource pool and this proxy appliance are configured here and are used to run your application group, which we create in the second step. The virtual lab in SureBackup is nothing more than a VMware ressource pool and a virtual proxy appliance. With just three simple steps you can be assured that your backups really work when time comes to restore a complete VM or business critical applications. And SureBackup checks if your VMs really can boot and all the necessary services come online. Your backup job checks the health of the backup file. It’s good to have one, but it’s better you don’t need it. But how can you be sure if a restore of a whole virtual machine will work if you really need it? Most of the companies test their backups once a month. You receive the success mails after backup and / or replication and you know it’s all good. I’ll show you how you set it up and try to give you some hints about it. The todays blog post is all about SureBackup. Test all that stuff with your SureBackup lab to see if everything works as it should. You don’t have to deploy new virtual servers only because of a new software release. You don’t have to deploy new virtual servers for patch testing. Leverage your backups for patch testing, development and other stuff. With Veeam SureBackup you can also easily create lab environments. But it’s not only automatic backup tests. So you can make sure that a VM is working if you really need to restore a whole VM and not only single files or folders. SureBackup in Veeam Backup & Replication (available in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus versions) is a great feature to test your Veeam backups automatically. It's always good when you can share your ( #Veeam) knowledge with your co-workers. It’s called SureBackup, and it makes your life as a sysadmin a lot easier. He asked me how i do that, and so i showed him one of the coolest features in Veeam Backup & Replication. I answered him that i don’t do that personally, but let it test automatically. A few days ago one of my co-workes asked me if, and if yes, how i test the backups of my customers.
