Challenge

Customers seeking new storage systems may want to consider Veeam's storage integration and special processing and compare systems.

Solution

The table below lists the following Primary Storage processing methods:

  • Veeam Universal Storage API
    Storage Vendors can leverage the Universal Storage API SDK to build their own Storage Snapshot processing integration into Veeam Backup & Replication for VMware and physical Windows server (Backup from Storage Snapshot).
  • Veeam's own custom storage integrations for storage snapshot processing for VMware and physical Windows server (Backup from Storage Snapshot).
  • Veeam's own custom processing for Hyper-Converged Storage systems and hypervisor storage VM snapshot processing.

For additional details, check the  Requirements and Limitations and the System Requirements section of the user guide.
