Application Backup Repository
An application backup repository is based on Veeam Hardened Repository deployed from the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance ISO file.
Veeam Infrastructure Appliance is a Linux distribution delivered by Veeam as a bootable JeOS (Just Enough Operating System) ISO file. It contains only services and components required to deploy and manage Veeam infrastructure components with specific roles.

Hardware |
CPU: x86-64 processor with 4 cores (vCPUs) minimum running at 1 GHz or higher. Using multi-core processors improves data processing performance. Memory: 8 GB RAM. The actual size of memory required may be larger and depends on the amount of data to back up. Using faster memory improves data processing performance. Disk 1: 120 GB1 minimum. This disk hosts Veeam JeOS, Veeam Backup & Replication software and instant recovery cache. Additional disks: Recommended sizing depends on your backup storage needs. Note that if storage utilization reaches 97% of the storage pool capacity, snapshot creation stops. If storage utilization exceeds 80% of the storage pool capacity, the system performance may degrade. Any additional disks can be automatically joined into one storage pool when deploying the application backup repository. For more information, see Deploying Application Backup Repository. Note: Veeam Infrastructure Appliance only supports local disks and hardware RAID. RAID controller with battery or capacitor backed write cache is highly recommended for performance and reliability reasons. Network: 1 Gbps or faster for on-site backup and replication, 1 Mbps or faster for off-site backup and replication. High latency and reasonably unstable WAN links are supported. Server Hardware: Veeam offers Veeam Ready - Appliance certification for hardware vendors. This certification guarantees verified and certified compatibility, delivering an optimal customer experience through additional requirements for direct technical collaboration between vendors. Veeam also acknowledges that some customers may need to use existing hardware. As a current compatibility guidance, we expect that most systems compatible with RHEL 9.6 listed on the RHEL Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) will be compatible with Veeam Software Appliance. Hardware that is not listed on the RHEL HCL will likely work, but no official compatibility support will be provided. 1 Here GB is considered as 10^9 bytes. |

Software |
Veeam Infrastructure Appliance ISO deployment to a virtual machine is supported, provided the hypervisor is listed as supported by Veeam. |
