I’m new on using veeam and data domain
base on this article
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/dell_dd.html?ver=120
if i want to make data domain as backup repository, I need to deploy a gateway server in backup infrastructure to make communication between backup proxy with dell data domain
is there any other way to do backup with veeam and dell data domain without deploying a gateway server in my backup infrastructure ?
Best answer by coolsport00
+21No
could I deploy a gateway server as virtual or it must be a physical ?
is a gateway server same as tape server ?
+21No...it can be virtual. It is just recommended to be "near" your DD device
+21No...a GW server is different than a Tape Server. A GW server assists Veeam in performing Backups. Tape Server is used for Backups performed via tapes
well, does veeam need 2 data mover at least in backup job to transfer data from source to target(backup repository) ?
if gateway server and tape server is different, where is veeam data mover on backup tape infrastructure ?
correct me if Im wrong
+21Yes, as shown in the graph above.
As far as for Tape Servers...the Data Mover is installed on the Tape Server, since it is a Windows device.
+21Sure thing. I will say...I’ve been using Veeam about 12yrs or so now. Their product in the early yrs wasn’t too bad, complexity-wise. It still isn’t “horrible”, but with all it has integrated and added feature-wise the past 4-5yrs, the complexity has indeed increased!
