Beeing a Veeam Architect as well as DataCore DCIE at the same time I was always pushing for this plugin.
After it finally happened, I took the time to write a deep dive blogpost covering all aspects:
- Technical background, prerequisites
- BfSS jobs, howto and caveats
- Snapshot only jobs
- “Instant-Sandboxing” from storage snapshots
- Off-label-usage with unique functionality of DataCore: Using DataCore CDP rollbacks together with the plugin to recover without having had a snapshot in the first place… (cool stuff!)
Find the article in English here:

Might come in handy if you want to combine those great products.
Comments or complements welcome!
