Endpoint Data and Image Backup

Infrastructure Setup

• Provisioned server hardware with CPU, RAM, and redundant storage (RAID).
• Installed and configured Type 1 hypervisor (VMware ESXi/Proxmox/Hyper-V).
• Storage pools and resources optimized for VM performance and reliability.

Networking

• Created virtual switches and VLANs for management, VM, and storage networks.
• Applied firewall rules to restrict unauthorized access and control traffic.

VM Deployment

• Deployed VMs with tailored CPU, memory, and disk allocations.
• Standardized configurations streamline management and backups.

Backup & Restore Strategy

• Implemented backup software (Veeam/Altaro) with onsite NAS and offsite/cloud redundancy.
• Scheduled full and incremental backups with test restores to ensure data reliability.

Security Measures

• Role-based access controls, network segmentation, encryption of VM disks and backups, and secure protocols in transit.
• Patch management ensures systems are current.

Monitoring & Maintenance

• Monitoring tools track host/VM usage.
• Backup jobs logged with alerts on failures.
• Routine log reviews and system checks maintain uptime.

Disaster Recovery & Documentation

• Documented procedures, network design, and security policies.
• Maintained onsite/offsite copies.
• Disaster recovery plan includes VM failover to minimize downtime.
