Tthe point in time before the disaster to which all prior data must be recoverable.
What is an RTO? - Recovery Time Objective (the length of time within normal business operations can be
restored following a disturbance)
Veeam Backup Server - It is the core component in the backup infrastructure that fills the role of the
"configuration and control center."
The backup server performs all types of administrative activities, including:
• Coordinates backup, replication, recovery verification and restore tasks
• Controls job scheduling and resource allocation
• Is used to set up and manage backup infrastructure components, as well as to specify global settings
for the backup infrastructure
Veeam Backup Service - Windows service that coordinates all operations performed by Veeam Backup &
Replication
Veeam Broker Service - interacts with the virtual infrastructure to collect and cache the virtual
infrastructure topology. Jobs and tasks query information about the virtual infrastructure topology from
the broker service, which accelerates job and task performance.
Veeam Guest Catalog Service - manages guest OS file system indexing for VMs and replicates system
index data files to enable search through guest OS files. Index data is stored in the Veeam Backup
Catalog — a folder on the backup server
Mount Service - mounts backups and replicas for file-level access, browsing the VM guest file system
and restoring VM guest OS files and application items to the original location.
Backup Proxy Services - in addition to dedicated services, the backup server runs a set of Data Mover
Services
,Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Database - stores data about the backup infrastructure, jobs,
sessions and so on
Where is the Veaam Backup proxy by default? - On the Veeam Backup Server
Why would you use multiple Backup Proxies? - To optimize performance of several concurrent jobs,
scale infrastructure up or down easily, or provide an optimal route for backup traffic.

Deploys the runtime process to VMs
What is quiescing a VM? - Puts the VM into a state where it can be backed up while preserving data
integrity.
For Windows uses VSS.
