Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication

You can store backup files created with Veeam Agent for IBM AIX on backup repositories managed by Veeam Backup & Replication. To do this, you must specify a Veeam backup repository as a target location in the backup job settings. To learn more about Veeam backup repositories, see the Backup Repositories and Scale-Out Backup Repositories sections in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Veeam Agent works with the Veeam Backup & Replication backup repository as with any other backup repository. Backup files are stored to a separate directory; you can perform standard restore operations using these files.

Information about Veeam Agent backups stored on the Veeam Backup & Replication backup repositories, backup jobs and sessions becomes available in the Veeam Backup & Replication console:

• The Veeam Agent backup job is displayed in the list of jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication.
• Backup files created with Veeam Agent are displayed in the list of backups, under the Agents node.
• Performed job sessions are available in the History view of Veeam Backup & Replication.

Backup administrators working with Veeam Backup & Replication can perform a set of operations with Veeam Agent backups:

• Perform data protection operations: copy Veeam Agent backups to secondary backup repositories and archive these backups to tape.
• Perform restore operations: restore individual files and directories from Veeam Agent backups and export data from these backups to virtual disks of the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format.
• Perform administrative tasks: disable and delete Veeam Agent backup jobs, remove Veeam Agent backups and so on.
