To back up a file share using Mine with Veeam, perform the following steps:
- Add the file share to the backup infrastructure. For more information, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Adding File Share.
- Add a backup proxy to the backup infrastructure. For more information, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Adding Backup Proxy.
Note |
You can assign the role of a backup proxy to any existing VMware backup proxy deployed in the Mine with Veeam cluster. |
- Create a file share backup job to protect the file share. For more information, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Creating File Share Backup Jobs.
After the file share backup job has successfully created restore points for the file share, you can perform the following operations to restore the file share:
- Test the created restore points to check whether you will be able to use them for recovery operations. For more information, see Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Performing Health Check and Repair for File Share Backup Files.
- Restore the entire file share. For more information, see Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Restoring Entire File Share.
- Restore specific files and folders. For more information, see Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Restoring Specific Files and Folders.
