Restore Point Simulator: A Powerful Tool for Veeam Backup Capacity Planning

Are you struggling to size up your Virtual Repository and Proxy servers from a CPU and memory perspective? Do you want to calculate the requirements for a VBR platform given a number of VMs (attached disks) and a maximum backup time window? Look no further than Veeam's Restore Point Simulator.

In this article, we'll explore the features and benefits of the Restore Point Simulator, as well as other useful tools developed by Veeam engineers. We'll also take a look at some of the challenges involved in designing and planning your Veeam infrastructure, and how these tools can help you overcome them.

Sizing Your VRB Proxies and Repositories

If you're having trouble sizing up your Virtual Repository and Proxy servers from a CPU and memory perspective, try using the VBR Sizer tool developed by Hannes Kasparick, Senior Systems Engineer at Vienna, Austria. This great tool will help you determine the optimal configuration for your proxies and repositories.

Calculating Backup Transfer Time and Volume

Another useful tool is Timothy Dewin's Backup transfer Time / Volume Calculator. This calculator helps you calculate the requirements for a VBR platform given a number of VMs (attached disks) and a maximum backup time window. Keep in mind that this tool doesn't take into account any additional dedupe, compression, or block cloning capabilities of your underlying hardware.

Restore Point Simulator with ReFS

In addition to these tools, the Restore Point Simulator has also been updated with support for ReFS (alpha). This feature allows you to show the benefit of using ReFS as the underlying file system. With this tool, you can simulate restore points and calculate disk capacity requirements given a particular scenario.

Bending Time and Space

Do you have an enormous backup job that needs to fit within a tight time window? Try using Veeam's very quick and simple Capacity vs Time calculator. This tool allows you to easily visualize the relationship between capacity and time, helping you plan your backups with confidence.

In conclusion, the Restore Point Simulator is a powerful tool for Veeam backup capacity planning that can help you size up your Virtual Repository and Proxy servers, calculate the requirements for a VBR platform, and simulate restore points. By leveraging these tools, you can ensure that your Veeam infrastructure is designed and planned to meet the needs of your organization.
