Veeam 7 not using SMB networks to restore to SMB cluster

[Enden]

Hi,

I'm evaluating Veeam backup in a new private cloud setup. I'm all Microsoft, using a storage spaces cluster with a scale out file server combined with a hyper-v cluster. I have a single physical Veeam server with four 1 GBe nics. One is LAN and the three remaining is private SMB3. My infrastructure setup is connected to both hyper-v and SMB cluster. Backups are working as expected. The Veeam server is configured as a off host proxy and performs backups with redirection to SMB snapshots and using the SMB nics. However restores only use the LAN nic and traffic is directed via a hyper-v node.

Is it possible to redirect restore data directly to the SMB cluster and thus using the three SMB nics? That would really improve restore capabilities and might be a deal maker

Sorry if it's to soon to bump this thread, but I would really like to get input on this as I'm on a scheduel to deliver.

I'll be happy to deliver more information if necessary. Just point out what you need

Hi, you should use VM Files restore option to restore VM files directly to the SMB cluster share. Thanks!
