VEEAM backup + data domain

Post by pkn »

Hi guys,

We are looking at backing up to a remote Data Domain target using VEEAM backup. Do he need to use a local target first then replicate from there to Data Domain or can we go straight to Data Domain?

Thanks,

Pat

Patrick, you can go directly to Data Domain, however the best practice is having a faster storage for local backups prior to that.

Thanks Alexander,

Would that still be the case if we use DD boost?

Yes, this is a common recommendation for any setup, as described in the mentioned reference architecture.

Hi Pat, I would suggest you have a Veeam proxy at the remote site, configured as a gateway server to the Data Domain rather than pulling data over the WAN from the Data Domain to an off-site Veeam proxy.
We use Data Domains exclusively for backup storage with DDBoost storage units as repositories. Two datacenters with DD4x00s, Four remote sites with DD2x00s.
