With extensive hands-on labs, the class promotes situational resiliency in responding to recovery scenarios and enables administrators and engineers to effectively protect and manage data in an ever-changing technical and business environment, bringing tangible benefit to business in the digital world. This course is based on Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1, part of Veeam Data Platform.

After completing this course, attendees will be able to:

• Describe Veeam security concepts

• Given a scenario, configure a backup job and a backup copy job

• Explain network-attached storage (NAS) backups and configuration

• Describe Veeam’s replication capabilities

• Determine appropriate use case for backups, replicas and/or continuous data protection

• Configure backup infrastructure components, including proxy and repository servers

• Given a scenario, evaluate when and how to apply immutability settings

• Given a scenario, recover data from backups

This course is suitable for anyone responsible for configuring, managing or supporting a Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 environment.

Students should have fundamental IT experience working with networking, servers, storage, cloud, virtualization and operating systems.
