Onsite Backups

Many companies with remote and branch offices struggle with the ROBO on what is the best option for availability on-site and off-site. There are decisions between taking on-site backups, writing backups off-site, and generating replicas both on and off-site.

Veeam has long promoted the “3-2-1 Rule,” which states that there should be:

• 3 Copies of essential data,
• On two different media,
• With one of which being off-site.

Crucial decision points are how to design a ROBO configuration from a Veeam perspective. There are several relevant components for Veeam Backup & Replication relevant to the ROBO, yet not all elements would be leveraged by all organizations or configurations.
