Hi Everyone,

I’m looking into using the HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus as a backup repository for Veeam and had a couple of questions:

Has anyone tested this server with Veeam? Does it handle high-performance backup and restore operations well, especially for heavy workloads?

What’s the best way to configure it for Veeam? I’m curious about things like usable storage capacity, support for 100 Gb NICs, and whether it’s suitable for high-concurrency environments.

I’d love to hear about your experiences, any tips, or links to helpful resources!

Hi,

 

Used the non-plus versions of these a couple of years back on an enterprise project and they did not disappoint. Dual RAID controllers because it was over 50 disks, so the IO could saturate the controller.

 

Used dual 40GbE with 32Gb FC to read from SSD source. Was getting 3-4GBps easily on v11 without any of the v12 optimisations. This unit was doing repository, proxy, and offload operations concurrently, are you thinking of using as a hardened repo or a multi-role device etc?

Hi ​@MicoolPaul,

Thanks for reply,
It will be hardened repo.
 

Then you’re going to be much more dependent on the networking throughput and performance of the proxy server(s), but task concurrency shouldn’t be a problem.

 

Depending on number of drives you may require more than one RAID controllers, which means more than one logical drive, which means you’ll likely want to use something like LVM to make the volumes into one logical volume between the multiple RAID controllers, but that depends on how you want to manage this.
