#VEEAM BACKUP PROXY WINDOWS#
Consequently, an area of a critical enhancement to Veeam was to include SMB and NFS protocols, also Windows and Linux file servers. Since there is a variety of NAS Systems with several protocols and versions adopted in modern business, flexibility was necessary. Veeam started recognizing these critical challenges in the NAS backup industry, so come out with the “serious powerful NAS backup” feature.īefore this new release, Veeam NAS backup options were limited, focused on file-to-tape only, via the NAS Backup Protocol (NDMP) and not fitting typical NAS production workloads that are presented throughout NFS and SMB protocols.

It is a challenge to process petabytes unstructured data, scale the components, do a fast-incremental file-level backup, provide data consistency, and finally, make backup inexpensive. These industry requirements, at the same time, are a hurdle for backups and data availability strategies. NAS systems have led the storage industry to deal with a set of workloads such as enterprise applications, virtualization (and similar technologies), and large unstructured data sets. NAS strategies are getting more popular than ever and have been extensively used, not only for SOHO and SMB but for enterprise businesses as well. One of the most exciting features of the Veeam suite version 10, which was released in February, is undoubtedly the Veeam v10 enhanced NAS backup or what Veeam preferred to called it: “seriously powerful NAS backup.” NAS backups are something that Veeam announced back in 2017, and that finally, with this latest version, is here.
