System Requirements
Veeam Backup & Replication provides different types of snapshot integrations and these integrations support different storage systems:
- NAS integration with built-in storage systems
- VMware and Veeam Agent Integrations with built-in storage systems
VMware and Veeam Agent Integrations with Universal Storage API integrated systems
NOTE |
[For VMware integration] You may encounter scenarios when Veeam Backup & Replication and the storage system support different versions of the virtual platform. In such cases, we recommend using versions supported by the storage system. If other versions are used, Veeam support will assist only with issues unrelated to version compatibility. |
