Publishing Disks
You can use the Veeam backup console to publish disks from backups created by Veeam Agent backup jobs and backup copy jobs.
TIP |
You can publish disks using the PowerShell console. To learn more, see the Disk Publishing (Data Integration API) section in the Veeam PowerShell Reference. |
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.
You can publish disks from backups of Veeam Agent computers created with the following Veeam Agents:
- Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows
- Veeam Agent for Linux
- Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris
- Veeam Agent for IBM AIX
- Veeam Agent for Mac
To publish disks from a backup of a Veeam Agent computer to a target server, Veeam Backup & Replication uses one of the following storage network protocols depending on the target server OS:
- [For Windows-based target servers] iSCSI
- [For Linux and macOS-based target servers] FUSE
- [For Unix-based target servers] NFS
To learn more, see the Disk Publishing section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
