Integration with Storage Systems

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to add storage systems to the backup infrastructure, create snapshots of the storage volumes and then use the snapshots as data source for backups.

Important

You cannot back up Hyper-V VMs with the help of the integration. Instead, you can add storage systems to the backup infrastructure and use the capabilities of NAS or Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows to create snapshots of the storage volumes.

In the Hyper-V environment, Veeam Backup & Replication offers the following options:

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows integration which allows you to use Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and capabilities of native snapshots to create backups.
NAS integration which allows you to add storage systems as NAS filers and create storage snapshots of volumes with NAS file shares.
