Backup Target
Backup can be performed to the following types of storage:
Disk-based storage
- Local (internal) storage of the protected computer (not recommended).
- Direct attached storage (DAS), such as USB, eSATA or Firewire external drives, and raw device mapping (RDM) volumes.
- Network Attached Storage (NAS) able to represent itself as SMB (CIFS) share.
- Storage Area Network (SAN), such as iSCSI connected volumes.
- Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3 or later backup repository*.
Cloud storage
- Veeam Cloud Connect 9.5 Update 3 or later cloud repository.
- Microsoft OneDrive storage (for Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, 8.x and 10).
* Advanced integration with HPE StoreOnce storage appliances via the HPE StoreOnce Catalyst technology is not supported. If you want to use an HPE StoreOnce storage appliance as a backup repository, please use it as a CIFS share.
* Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication repository server. Thus, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows cannot work with Veeam Backup & Replication that is located behind the NAT gateway.
