In one of my customer, Azure VM streaming backups along with iDA for several workloads being used. I was referring the possibilities to implement Azure VM intellisnap backup and going through some documentation. In context of feasibility study, I am unable to find limitations for performance, granular restores from Snap and Backup Copy both covering for Azure VM snapshot backup and iDA’s on AZURE VM’s like SAP, Oracle, PGsql, MYSQL, MS-SQL.
Need community help pointing me to the relevant stuff.
Thanks for the great question! The following BOL details over if the restore you are trying to achieve can be done with IntelliSnap on the listed applications:
In regards to performance that is a bit difficult for Commvault to provide insight onto. The entire idea of IntelliSnap is that we are telling the storage to create snapshots. Commvault are not doing any of the leg work in that operation. I would either recommend talking to the vendor around performance or just running some POC’s to see the speeds you are getting. If we are talking about a backup copy of the snap as well then the main bottleneck is read speed from the storage and that is the vendor again.
Hope this helped answer your questions around using IntelliSnap on Azure VM.
