VM-level replication occurs from one ESX or Hyper-V host to another of the same type. 3Ĥ Veeam backup architecture The following diagram represents a typical example of the Veeam replication architecture with distributed backup proxies at the source (production) and target (recovery) locations. These resources can be virtual or physical depending upon the storage and network topology, desired throughput of backup and recovery data streams, as well as the available server resources. The backup repositories can be Windows or Linux based, network attached storage systems or tape. The backup proxy servers are Windows-based installations.

The major components of Veeam Backup & Replication consist of a management server, proxy servers, backup repository servers and disk-based backup repositories. Recovery of VMs can occur in a matter of minutes using Veeam s patented technology integrated with HP Storage. With Veeam Backup & Replication, VMs can be backed up to disk, archived to low-cost storage and replicated from one host to another. Veeam Backup & Replication overview Veeam Backup & Replication is one of the most powerful solutions for VM backup, replication and recovery in VMware vsphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.
