Hello,
Trying to get some more understanding of the architecture. I did some reading on the Veeam site but still a little vague. I have used NFS years ago with a linux machine attached to the share.
Scope: Our Veeam 6.5 machine is a Windows 2008 R2 (virtual machine). What I want to do is use NFS as a storage for our backup data. Can I just mount the NFS share on the VMware host instead and add a second drive to the virtual machine?
On the Veeam's configuration, it has these options below. Just trying to learn more about the setup.
•Microsoft Windows server with local or directly attached storage. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will deploy the Veeam transport service on the Windows server connected to the storage system. The transport service is responsible for data processing tasks, enabling efficient backups over slow connections. This type of a backup repository can also act as the vPower NFS server (for this, remember to select corresponding settings at the next steps of the wizard). For more information, see Veeam vPower NFS Service.
•Linux server with local, directly attached or mounted NFS storage. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will deploy the Veeam transport service on the Linux server connected to the storage system. The transport service is responsible for data processing tasks, enabling efficient backups over slow connections
Thanks,
