Backup Infrastructure Components
To export backups created by K10 policies using Veeam Backup for Kasten K10, you must configure the infrastructure that will consist of the following components:
- K10 application.
A platform where you configure and manage K10 policies that will export backups of application disks to Veeam backup repositories. For more information on installing a K10 application, see Kasten Docs.
- Veeam Backup & Replication server.
A server that manages K10 appliance and K10 policies. It allows you to monitor and manage backups exported by K10, perform data protection scenarios, data recovery and restore operations. For more information, see the Backup Server section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Veeam backup repository.
This component is obligatory if you use Veeam backup repository to keep exports created by K10 policies.
A storage location where Veeam Backup & Replication keeps backups exported by K10 policies. You can add multiple repositories to the Veeam Backup & Replication server and set the necessary repository within K10 policies settings.
To learn more about Veeam backup repositories and how to manage them, see the Backup Repositories section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
Note |
We recommend that you use Veeam backup repositories that support the following file systems:
You can also use backup repositories that utilize deduplication:

Tip |
To prohibit data deletion or data loss due to malware activity, you can make data stored in Veeam backup repositories immutable. Note that this option is available only for hardened repositories. For more information, see the Hardened Repository section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. For details on how to properly configure K10 to make backups exported by K10 policies immutable, see Kasten K10 Docs. |
Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to keep backups exported by K10 in the following types of additional repositories:
- Capacity tier: for more information, see the Capacity Tier section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Archive tier: for more information, see the Archive Tier section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Tape devices: for more information on how to back up to tapes, see the Machines Backup to Tape section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Cloud repositories of service providers that keep copies of backups exported by K10 policies: for more information, see the Veeam Cloud Connect Guide.
- Secondary Veeam backup repositories that keep backup copies created by backup copy jobs. For more information on backup copy jobs, see the Backup Copy section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
