Hello Veeam community,
Is there any best practices when implementing these two into work?
Currently we have it setup as a SMB share folders and Veeam is sending backups to it.
I did a little bit of research and saw that people are using ISCSI and connecting Synology drive to Windows Server and using it like that. As I can see they are using ReFS File System.
What would be the best optimization when we have Veeam + Synology in our Environment.
Veeam B&R and our main Synology are located in the same location within same subnet.
After that main Backup is done we have a Backup Copy Job trough IPSec to our Branch Office where we also have Synology NAS with SMB share.
With ISCSI I saw that people are using FastClone and I’m not familiar with it at all. What is the use of it?
Any advices are welcomed 😀

For your BUC job, you have about the best setup you can. You have a WAN accelerator, and you’re using High Bandwidth Mode. Both are the best Veeam can offer. The only bottlenecks would be first and foremost your WAN connection (network/Internet) speed to your Copy site, and Accelerator CPU/RAM resources.
As far as iSCSI...are you using your Synology directly connected to your VBR server? If possible, I recommend using a separate server, physical if you can but a VM works too, as your Repo; you didn’t explicitly mention, but also a separate Proxy server. If you do connect your Repo directly to VBR and you lose your VBR, no worries. You hopefully create config backups (directed to some other storage off your VBR server I hope?). What you can then do is create a new VBR server, restore from configs, then point your iSCSI Repo/Storage to your new/rebuilt server to get your backups back.
