Publishing Disks

You can use the Veeam backup console to publish disks from backups created by Veeam Agent backup jobs and backup copy jobs.

Disk publishing allows you to save time by getting backup content of one or multiple disks instead of all disks from a backup. This technology gives read-only access to data and helps if you want to analyze data of your backup. For example, look for specific documents or usage patterns, or perform antivirus scan of backed-up data.

To publish disks from a backup of a Unix-based computer to a target server, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the FUSE protocol on Linux-based target servers and the NFS v.3 protocol on Unix-based target servers. After publishing, the target server can access the backup content and read the necessary data from the disk.
