 ====== VEEAM Sync Cookbook ======
-<sxh>
+Veeam Backup & Replication is a software product developed by Veeam Software to back up, restore and replicate data on virtual machines
+===== Prerequisites =====
+A defined ODBC connection to the Veeam database.
+===== Data Extraction =====
+Data is extracted from Veeam via an SQL connection and then processing that raw data for the Sync with TapeTrack via a ttidef file.
+===== Synchronization =====
+<note important>You will need to install the [[cli:sync_suite|TapeTrack Sync software]] to complete these instructions.</note>
+Synchronization with TapeTrack is performed by calling the [[cli:TMSS10Sync|TMSS10Sync]] command line program, along with:
+  - Veeam ODBC connection.
+  - Command line arguments that instruct the program how to process volumes.
+  - A synchronization definition file that instructs the program how to interpret the SQL output.
+The command line code is usually contained within a batch file and scheduled to execute automatically on a regular time frame to suit your requirements.
+==== Example Command Line Arguments ====
+<code plain;>
+TMSS10Sync -d default.ttidef -a -S batch:-password@server
+</code>
+Where:
+  * ''-d'' is the path to the Synchronization Definition File.
+  * ''-a'' tells the program to add new tape volumes if they are encountered.
+  * ''-S'' tells the program what [[cli:server_argument|Server]] to connect to.
+=== Example Batch File ===
+{{veeam_batch.png}}
+===== TTIDEF Sample  =====
+Sample TTIDEF file (default.ttidef) to:
+  * Connect to VEEAM database (veeam2 in this example).
+  * Extract barcode, media pool ID and last write time.
+  * Set Customer-ID to US01.
+  * Set Media-ID to LTO.
+  * Set Volume location based off media pool ID.
+  * Set Volume Description based off media pool ID.
