It's recommended that a decomissioned server remain in veeam and vsphere for at least 1 year.
If the reliance is low during this period on the old server then continue with this procedure.
Run Veeam backup (SVRCYP07)
- Once remoted into svrcyp07, open Veeam.
- Open "Inventory"
- Locate desired Server, right click it, click on backup to "D:\Data\VEEAM_Zip"
Backup to GA cloud
- On your own local machine, run powershell as admin
- Use robocopy to copy the file from svrcyp07 across to the Synced GA Archive folder (make sure you have the folder synced first, if not here is a link - CYP File Archives (2) - Documents - All Documents). See below..
robocopy "\\svrcyp07\d$\Data\VEEAM_Zip" "C:\Users\gbrowne\Cape York Girl Academy\CYP File Archives (2) - Documents\CYP Veeam Server ZIP Backups" "DHealth-BPD2025-06-18T133206_8F39.vbk" /COPYALL /R:3 /W:10 /MT:8 /LOG:"C:\Users\gbrowne\Cape York Girl Academy\CYP File Archives (2) - Documents\CYP Veeam Server ZIP Backups\logs\DHealth-BPD2025-06-18T133206_8F39.txt" /TEE /ETA - Check the Log file for a successful copy.
Backup to DC Server (svrcypgvbackup) use robocopy
- On your own local machine, run powershell as admin
- Use robocopy to copy the file from svrcyp07 across to the DC Veeam data folder. See below..
robocopy "\\svrcyp07\d$\Data\VEEAM_Zip" "\\svrcypgvbackup\d$\Data\VEEAM_Zip" "DHealth-BPD2025-06-18T133206_8F39.vbk" /COPYALL /R:3 /W:10 /MT:8 /LOG:"\\svrcypgvbackup\d$\Data\VEEAM_Zip\logs\DHealth-BPD2025-06-18T133206_8F39.txt" /TEE /ETA |
3. Check the Log file for a successful copy.
