Before You Begin

In this article

Before you restore application items from storage snapshots, check the following prerequisites:

The storage system must be added to the backup infrastructure.

[For storage systems working over Fibre Channel] To let Veeam Backup & Replication present snapshots of LUNs to the ESX(i) host, you must register the ESX(i) host with a WWN ID on the storage system.

[For NetApp storage systems] Depending on the storage type, you may need to install additional licenses on the storage system. For more information, see Required Licenses for NetApp.

You must check limitations for Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots. For more information, see Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots.
