Veeam v13 Integration and Plugin

Hi Everyone,

We're new Pure customers this year and have two Flasharray C models, one for virtual infrastructure and the other will be used solely as a storage repository to back up those virtual machines using Veeam Backup and Replication.

Our plan is to move away from the current windows-based Veeam v12 in favor of Veeam v13 hardened Linux appliances.  We're in the design phase now but have Veeam v13 working great in separate environment with VMware and HPE Nimble.  Our question is around Pure Storage and Veeam v13 integration and Plugin support.  Veeam's product team mentions there is native integrations in v12, but that storage vendors should be "adopting USAPI" going forward.  Is this something that Pure is working on, or maybe already has completed with Veeam Backup and Replication v13?

  • What a great question!  We absolutely support Veeam USAPI and Veeam Backup and Replication.  Last year when we announced it, Veeam was still promoting v12 so that is the version the collateral mentioned.   However we are will certainly plan to support v13 in the same manner.  😄

  • FlashArray//C hosting VMware workloads can utilize Veeam's storage snapshot integration through the Pure plug-in.FlashArray//C used as the Veeam backup repository is fully supported as a backup target.Veeam v13 Hardened Linux Repository deployments remain aligned with Pure's storage integration strategy and USAPI-based architecture.You should verify the specific FlashArray plug-in version and compatibility matrix against your planned Veeam v13 build before production deployment.
