Here is another book by Dave, Cristal, Cary and Emile; what a significant milestone!
Ask yourself one ques on: Why? There are so many technologies, but why do we use what we
use? Why do we do what we do? The answer is how. It’s how we use something. I like to explain
some mes compliance in this way. No product or technology is inherently compliant. It’s how it is
implemented and how it is audited. The same goes for technology implementa ons; it’s about
how we use them. The how is the why.
Opera ons are s ll cool. There are so many razzle-dazzle job tles and buzzwords in the market
today, but in the end, Opera ons are Opera ons. DevOps, Pla ormOps, SRE (Sire Reliability
Engineer), Pla orm Engineering… I do not need to go on, but no technology will take care of itself
across all disciplines. How it is used, implemented, monitored, etc., ma ers today. Technology
s ll needs humans and their knowledge.
Expert advice is the difference. We all learn from each other. When taking on the next new
challenge, where does one go first? We look for resources to consume. Blogs, books like this, and
social profiles; the established experts are the trusted advisors in the technology space. Call it
community, social sharing, or what you want; we all find ourselves going to the go-to experts of a
par cular space.

Above and Beyond. What Dave, Cristal, Cary and Emile put forth in this book is outstanding in
their prac cing advice for technology. They could easily focus on their professional
responsibili es and keep them narrow. But wri ng a book is hard work! Edi ng a book is hard
work! I’ve not discussed this with them, but I’m sure they aren’t doing it for the money of wri ng
a book. They write this book because they go above and beyond, share, and care.
I’m sure you will enjoy this book, and a big congratula ons on this book, Dave, Cristal, Cary and
Emile.
Best Regards,

Install Veeam Backup and Replication v12 with Microsoft SQL (or
SQL Express)
When you install Veeam Backup & Replica on, the Veeam Backup & Replica on console is
automa cally installed on the backup server.
You can choose Microso SQL as a Veeam Backup & Replica on database. However, you installed
a Microso SQL Server (or Express), either locally on the backup manager server or remotely. If
Microso SQL Server is not already installed. In that case, the Veeam Backup & Replica on won’t
install the Microso SQL Server Express Edi on on the backup server automa cally. You must
install it before installing Veeam Backup and Replica on v12 RTM version.
Microso SQL Server Express has a configura on data storage limit of 10 GB. The Express Edi on
is sufficient for the evalua on and small environments (500 VMs).

Physical Machines
Veeam Backup & Replica on is a centralized control center for deploying and managing Veeam
Agent, including Veeam Agent for Microso Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, Oracle Solaris, and Mac.
Physical machines you want to protect with Veeam Agents are organized into protec on groups
in Veeam Backup & Replica on. A protec on group groups together protected computers of the
same type. To simplify the management of such computers, Whether you create a protec on
group for laptops, worksta ons, servers or any other type of computer, Veeam Backup &
Replica on allows you to group them for dedicated and targeted protec on easily. A separate
protec on group can also be used for Veeam Agent computers that you manage differently than
other machines in your infrastructure.
You can use protec on groups to automate the Veeam Agent deployment and management on
computers in the infrastructure. When you configure a protec on group, you can specify
scheduling op ons for protected computer discovery and Veeam Agent deployment. As a result,
you do not need to install, configure, and run Veeam Agent on each computer whose data you
wish to protect. Instead, you can use the Veeam Backup & Replica on console to remotely
perform all Veeam Agent deployment, administra on, data protec on, and disaster recovery
tasks.

Backups of Linux target machines that are members of an Ac ve Directory domain are
not supported by gMSAs.
Because gMSAs require a connec on to the domain controller, these accounts can only
be accessed via the network.
If you use a gMSA to back up a machine, both the backup proxy and the target machine
must have access to the domain controller to obtain the gMSA password. In addi on, the
gMSA must be added to a member of the Administrators group on the target machine
(local or domain). Add to the member if Domain Administrator is only required for
Microso Ac ve Directory backups and local Administrator permissions are sufficient for
all other supported applica ons.
Note:
gMSA is supported for applica on-aware processing for backups or replicas of VMs running
Microso Ac ve Directory (domain controllers), Microso Exchange, Microso SQL Server, and
Oracle 12c Release 2 and later. However, the gMSA cannot back up or replicate VMs that run
