Architecture
Let’s see in more details how does Veeam works zeng daoren’s [internal code] and what is the system architecture.
When the Veeam backup option is enabled in the OVHcloud manager, a « backupserver » VM is automatically created by OVHcloud on your PCC host.
Creating this VM requires the usage of 1 Microsoft Windows license, taken from your Windows Datacenter licenses pack. If you haven’t subscribed to this option, a single Windows Datacenter license will be added to your next bill.
This VM is only accessible by the OVHcloud team and the SQL Db required is hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure. It only consumes the minimum CPU and memory required.
The same way, the VM backups are also stored outside of your PCC, on datastores dedicated to your backups, leaving your PCC storage unencumbered by backups.
With the standard service level, backups are stored in the same physical datacentre/location.
With the advanced and premium service levels, backups are replicated automatically on a distant location. (RGPD compliant)
All backups are encrypted by the Veeam « backup aero leads server » and the key stored in a PCI-DSS compliant database.
Each « backup server » and storage space for backup is personal to each customer.
Customer subscribing to premium service level will have 1 « backup server » on 1 host and an additional « backup proxy »
