V13 - Veeam Software Appliance.

 

The environment described in this architecture consists of one main datacenter containing 1,000 VMs and 100 physical servers. Each VM and physical server has an average of 200 GB of storage space. The Veeam components are hosted on the Veeam Software Appliance and Veeam Infrastructure Appliance. All backups will be targeted to a local Veeam Hardened Repository and copied to a Veeam Hardened Repository hosted offsite. The Veeam Infrastructure Appliance that hosts the proxies are installed in VMs and uses the virtual appliance (hot add) backup method.
