Veeam already can access data domain repositories, and already has a scheduling system, and already has a File Copy job (does this use DataDomain FastCopy? If not then that would be a welcome feature).

The DellEMC guide suggests setting up and using a linux server to script things. I think Veeam is in a better position to handle this.

Use the Enable-VBRJob cmdlet in order to enable the Backup Copy Jobs targeting the Mtree used by Veeam after some time in order to allow the "Fast Copy" operation some time to complete Use the Disable-VBRJob cmdlet in order to disable the Backup Copy Jobs targeting the Mtree used by Veeam prior to the scheduled "Fast Copy" operation towards the "Retention Lock" Mtree.Ģ. The excerpt below from the Dell EMC guide recommends that we give due consideration to the time when the scheduled Fast Copy operations should be performed:īased on my understanding, the primary goal here is ensuring that the backup data stored on the Mtree used by Veeam (which is then "Fast Copied" on the "Retention Lock" Mtree) must be consistent in order to be recovered (which makes perfect sense).įor this purpose, I was thinking a possible solution to accomplish this on the Veeam side could be to:ġ. One more question here with regards to the "Fast Copy" approach.
