There is a company-wide mandate to migrate operations off corporate datacenters and over to AWS, Azure, and GCE. The Veeam engineer has backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix VMs stored in on-premises repositories. The performance of a test restore was not satisfactory.
Which solution should the engineer deploy?
To improve performance in restoring virtual machines from on-premises repositories to the cloud, deploying a helper appliance in the respective cloud environment is the most effective solution. A helper appliance can facilitate more efficient data transfers and operations specific to cloud platforms by optimizing the restore process from Veeam backups. This approach targets the specific issue of slow restore performance by leveraging the cloud infrastructure inherently, making it a better fit for this scenario.
Wan Accelerators are used for backup/replication tasks. For restore, helper appliance needs to be deployed in respective cloud
You can use WAN Accelerators for restore operations also, so the Answer is B
While I don't see the helper appliace for Azure (other than restoring Linux), I see it for GPC and AWS.: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/restore_amazon_proxy_appliance.html?ver=120
Change my vote to B. Question says they are moving everything off corp data centers - so makes sense they'd have VBR at both locations. So WAN Accelerators it is.
When migrating off, and start using Veeam in the cloud it is suspectable that for example Microsoft Azure they use Veeam Backup for Azure. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure does not support WAN accelerators. WAN accelerators are typically used in Veeam Backup & Replication for on-premises environments to optimize data transfer between sites by reducing the amount of data sent over the WAN
Helper Appliance can be used as an optional or mandatory when restoring to Cloud its supported at Amazon, Azure and Google
we need wan accelerators
helper appliances are available in Azure. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/restore_azure_linux.html?ver=120
Veeam WAN accelerator can be deployed an onsite and any cloud. Helper appliance not available on Azure
B - we need wan accelerators
eeam WAN Acceleration is specifically designed to optimize data transfer over wide area networks (WANs), which are typically characterized by high latency and limited bandwidth. This is precisely the scenario described: migrating backups from on-premises to cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCE)
D. Helper appliance in the cloud Helper Appliances in the cloud (like Veeam Cloud Connect or similar proxies) optimize data transfer during restores by handling data deduplication, compression, and traffic management closer to the target cloud environment. They reduce latency and improve restore speeds compared to direct transfers from on-premises repositories. This is particularly effective for cloud migrations, as the appliance processes data in the target cloud platform (AWS/Azure/GCE), avoiding bottlenecks from on-premises infrastructure or internet bandwidth.
