The Veeam® Backup & Replication™ v12: Configure, Manage and Recover training course is a three-day technical course focused on teaching IT professionals the skills to configure, manage and support a Veeam Backup & Replication v12 solution.

With extensive hands-on labs, the class 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, part of Veeam Data Platform.

After completing this course, attendees should 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 environment.

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

It is essential that all delegates have a good grounding of the core fundamental concepts of Veeam Backup & Replication through learning and hands on experience before taking this course.  Veeam Partners are advised to access the VeeamIQ resources to review all materials relating to Veeam Backup & Replication prior to training.   VeeamIQ resources are accessed via the standard Veeam website logon as below..
