Backup Infrastructure for Storage Snapshots

Before you start working with storage systems in Veeam Backup & Replication, you must properly configure the backup infrastructure. As part of this process, you must perform the following actions:

  1. Configure a backup proxy. The backup proxy is required for storage systems rescan and Backup from Storage Snapshots.
  2. Add storage systems. You must add the storage systems on which the backup data is hosted to the backup infrastructure. If you plan to work with secondary storage arrays, you must add them to the backup infrastructure as well.

Do not forget to check the prerequisites for specific storage systems before adding them to your backup infrastructure.
