System Requirements (Storage Systems)
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. |
NAS integration is possible with the following built-in storage systems.
Dell PowerScale (formerly Isilon)
- Filer integration for NAS backup functionality
- NFS or SMB (CIFS) connectivity
- OneFS 8.1.2 to 9.11

- ONTAP 7-mode is not supported
Lenovo ThinkSystem DM/DG Series
- NFS or SMB (CIFS) connectivity
- ONTAP cluster-mode versions 9.10 to 9.16.1
- ONTAP 7-mode is not supported
NetApp FAS/AFF/ASA, FlexArray (V-Series), ONTAP Edge/Select/Cloud VSA
- NFS or SMB (CIFS) connectivity
- ONTAP cluster-mode versions 9.10 to 9.16.1
- ONTAP 7-mode is not supported

VMware and Veeam Agent Integrations with Universal Storage API Integrated Systems
To start working with Universal Storage API integrated systems, you must install storage system plug-ins. VMware and Veeam Agent integrations are possible with the following storage systems.
IBM FlashSystem (formerly Spectrum Virtualize, includes IBM StorWize and IBM SVC)
- Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI connectivity
- IBM Spectrum Virtualize OS version 8.4 or later
- Policy-based replication relationships are not detected
You will not be able to select this feature for backup and snapshot orchestration with secondary storage arrays.
- Policy-based high availability (PBHA) configurations are not supported
Volumes covered by PBHA cannot be used for the storage integration feature.
