Adding Kasten Instance

Veeam Plug-in for Kasten allows you to view and manage Kasten policies as well as perform data protection and data recovery operations with exports created by Kasten from the Veeam Backup & Replication console. To do it, you must add a Kasten instance to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure.

After you add the Kasten instance to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, Veeam Plug-in for Kasten accesses Veeam Kasten and synchronizes the following information:

  • Kasten policies.
  • Snapshots and exports created by Kasten policies.
  • Snapshots and exports created manually.
  • Sessions for the last 24 hours.

After synchronization is completed, Veeam Plug-in for Kasten shows this information in the Veeam Backup & Replication console and performs incremental synchronization every 5 seconds to get updates.

To add the Kasten instance to Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, do the following:

  1. Launch the New Kasten Instance wizard.
  2. Specify the Kasten instance name.
  3. Specify credentials.
  4. Apply Settings.
  5. Finish working with the wizard.
