Veeam Testing Configuration

Veeam Build Number: 13.0.1.1071

Vendor Recommended Configuration

Vendor Settings:

  • Operating system: Windows Server 2022
  • File system: ReFS
  • Caching used: Yes
  • Read/write caching: The HPE MSA 2070 uses controller-based DRAM cache (8 GB per controller, mirrored between controllers) for both read and write operations, with write-back caching enabled to acknowledge host writes quickly and later destage them to disk. Cached data is protected by flash-backed cache on power loss, while read caching retains frequently accessed blocks in memory so subsequent reads are serviced from cache instead of backend drives.
  • Multipathing / link aggregation used: No
  • Array deduplication used in testing: No
  • Array compression used in testing: No
