Universal Storage API Integrated Systems

Storage vendors can leverage the Veeam Universal Storage API framework to integrate their storage solutions with Veeam Backup & Replication. With this kind of integration, you can use snapshots of Universal Storage API integrated systems to perform backup and restore operations.

Supported Storage Systems

The supported built-in storage systems are listed in section System Requirements.

Supported Integration Types

You can add different storage systems to your infrastructure depending on the integration type you use. To learn which storage systems are supported for which integrations, see VMware Integration, NAS Integration and Veeam Agent Integration.

Configuring Universal Storage API Integrated Systems

To start working with Universal Storage API integrated systems, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Before adding a storage system to the backup infrastructure, check Planning and Preparation. If you plan to work with secondary storage arrays, you must add them to the backup infrastructure as well.
  2. Install the storage system plug-in.
  3. Configure the infrastructure for storage integration.
  4. Add Universal Storage API integrated system.

Tip

For information on how to add built-in storage systems, see Built-in Storage Systems.
