Backup Storage for ESXi from OVH

Two backup options that are relevant to VMware’s ESXi virtualization platform are provided by OVHcloud. Let’s look into the details of each of them.

1. Backup Storage:OVHcloud offers this as a basic storage space add-on for their dedicated servers that come with ESXi pre-installed. We must manually move the backups to this storage, as it is not an automated backup program. We can see the details on how to use Backup Storage with ESXi on OVHcloud.

2. Veeam Backup: A complete disaster recovery solution provided as a managed service by OVHcloud, based on Veeam technology. It is managed by OVHcloud, so we don’t need to setup it separately. It also ensures consistent backups and lowers the possibility of human error.

Comparison

The ideal choice depends by our specific needs and priorities:

• • Backup Storage is perfect for simple, sporadic backups where budget is a key consideration. But take into account the time investment in manual tasks and other security hazards.
  • If we need disaster recovery capabilities, quicker restore speeds, and automatic backups, Veeam Backup (Managed) is a superior option. The managed service component is more expensive but more convenient.
  • One major benefit of Veeam is its automation if we need regular backups.
  • Veeam’s disaster recovery features provide superior security for important data and also makes managing backup software easier even for those without prior experience.
  • Backup storage could be a good choice for irregular backups if budget is short.
