Managing Backup Repositories

A backup repository is a storage location where Veeam Agent for IBM AIX keeps backup files. You can use the following types of disk-based storage as a target location for a backup job:

Local (internal) storage of the protected machine (not recommended)
Direct attached storage (DAS), such as USB, eSATA or Firewire external drives
Network Attached Storage (NAS) able to represent itself as SMB (CIFS) or NFS share
Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1.2 or later backup repository

Important

Consider the following about backup repositories:

[For local storage] A backup repository should be created on a separate volume from a volume that contains data you plan to back up.
[For Veeam backup repository] Veeam Cloud Connect repositories, repositories with enabled KMS encryption and object storage repositories managed by Veeam Backup & Replication are not supported.
