Release Information for Pure Storage Plug-In for Veeam Backup & Replication
Cheers for trusting us with the spot in your mailbox!
Now you’re less likely to miss what’s been brewing in our knowledge base with this weekly digest
Requirements
Before installing Pure Storage Plug-In v2.0.47, ensure that you are running Veeam Backup & Replication 12.0.0.1402 or later. To check the version, open the main menu of the Veeam Backup & Replication console and select Help > About.
Pure Storage Plug-In v2.0.47 supports integration with the following storage systems:
- Purity 6.1 or later
What's New
Support for Universal Storage API v2, which enables the following additional functionality:
Snapshot replication orchestration – allows backup jobs to leverage existing Pure Storage FlashArray Replication relationships to create storage-based snapshot replicas as additional restore points. This also enables performing backup from secondary storage arrays, to avoid any load from backup activities on the primary storage array.
Snapshot archiving orchestration – allows backup jobs to manage the offload of volume snapshots to a different type of storage device via Pure Storage FlashArray Offload functionality and track them there as additional available restore points.
Synchronous replication support – allows backup jobs to create coordinated storage snapshots and track them as additional available restore points on dual Pure Storage FlashArray ActiveCluster configurations that serve the same production volume from multiple storage management backends.
Also, processing of snapshot deletion attempts on arrays with SafeMode enabled no longer produces job warnings and doesn't lead to an increased Veeam Backup & Replication service load.
Known Issues
- Source/target side selection for synchronous replication relationships occurs based on the host mapping information from the arrays.
- If a volume only on one side of the relationship is mapped to a host, that side is considered the source.
- If volumes on both sides are mapped, the 'Preferred Arrays' setting in the storage management console's host settings is used. If that setting is not configured, the first array in alphabetical order is considered the source.
- Volumes that are part of a Volume Group are not supported for asynchronous snapshot replication.
- For volumes with multiple different asynchronous snapshot replication relationships, the snapshot chain is only kept on one of the targets.
- For volumes on the target side of an asynchronous snapshot replication relationship, the volume size is displayed in Veeam Backup & Replication as '0'.
- Archived snapshots that have been destroyed but not eradicated can still be visible in Veeam Backup & Replication Console and can be used for restores until being eradicated by the storage cleanup mechanisms.
- For volumes in active/active asynchronous replication setups, where automatic asynchronous replication to a DR site from ActiveCluster synchronous arrays is configured, only synchronous replication relationships are detected.

Pure Storage Plug-In for Veeam Backup & Replication [1.3.18]
Pure Storage Plug-In v1.3.18 supports integration with Purity 4.10 or later, and requires at least Veeam Backup & Replication 10.
What's New:
This update resolves the most commonly reported support issues.
Known Issues:
- In case SafeMode is enabled on the array, expect warnings in backup jobs attempting to delete snapshots according to retention, on attempts to delete snapshots manually and delete temporary clones created during backup jobs, rescan and restore operations. Such snapshots are marked as destroyed by the storage array before being finally eradicated according to the SafeMode settings. Deleted snapshots may be cleaned from the user interface with delays when storage discovery actualizes snapshot list.
- For Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows jobs, enabled SafeMode may result in Veeam B&R accumulating information about such 'deleted' snapshots and trying to delete them infinitely. This may lead to an increased load on the Veeam B&R service and result in jobs not respecting the schedule. If you encounter the described behavior, please contact Veeam technical support for assistance with cleaning up the database.
