Veeam Backup & Replication also have build in direct NFS agent which allows to access NetApp snapshots directly from NAS storage bypassing hosts for backup, restore & storage scan operations.Īlong with backup, Veeam Backup & Replication can perform image-based VM replication.

It uses storage system snapshots as a source for backups and recovery of VMware VMs with disks residing on storage volumes. In addition, through a separate Universal Storage API and plug-in, Veeam also provides storage integrations with INFINIDAT and Pure Storage. Veeam Backup & Replication is storage-agnostic, but it also has specialized storage integrations with some storage systems such as Cisco HyperFlex, EMC VNX, EMC VNXe, HP 3PAR, HP StoreVirtual, Nimble, NetApp, IBM, Lenovo Storage V Series. Veeam's technology, Cloud Connect, provides integrated and secured backup to the cloud through Veeam-powered service providers. Cloud storage support is available on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model. Backups can be stored on-premises, transferred to off-site repositories via the WAN, saved to tape media for long-term retention, or sent to cloud storage. It allows organizing a scalable backup repository from a collection of heterogeneous storage devices. Veeam Backup & Replication supports software-defined storage technology. This mechanism can also be used for troubleshooting or testing patches and upgrades. During the verification, the VM image remains in a read-only state. The program starts a VM directly from a backup or replica in the isolated test environment and runs tests against it. Veeam Backup & Replication provides automated recovery verification for both backups and replicas.

Additionally, there is an option to perform active full and synthetic full backups.

The available backup methods include forward incremental-forever backup, forward incremental backup, and reverse incremental backup. Backup increments are created using the built-in changed block tracking (CBT) mechanism. Backups can be full (a full copy of VM image) or incremental (saving only the changed blocks of data since the last backup job run). It backs up VMs at the image-level using a hypervisor's snapshots to retrieve VM data. Veeam Backup & Replication operates both the virtualization layer as well manages physical machine backup. The software provides backup, restore and replication functionality for virtual machines, physical servers and workstations as well as cloud-based workload. Veeam Backup & Replication is a proprietary backup app developed by Veeam for virtual environments built on VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, and Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors.
