Yes, I agree with this. It makes no sense, but it's true.

Veeam: Supporting macOS is absolutely necessary. It is time to update your short term and long term plans.

@busitech, @mfpoulsen, @dpal, @mdestrez, @rra, and others interested in Mac,

User profiles on your machines - are those mostly/always local, or often redirected from some network location (how?) ?

Thanks!

@PTide

In our organization, the Mac user profiles are local on the machine. There used to be a cobbled together rsync solution for backup that a user could opt into, but that went away sometime ago. Network drives are mounted using Enterprise Connect and users are encouraged to save documents there.

I just need the pkg file that is urgent. Manual admin install is better for now, rather than nothing at all. We can worry about deployment scheme later.

I am literally crippled without Veeam for MacOS. I need both files and image backups. I support Mac users since 2010. 10 years without a real backup solution. I need VCSP and local destinations
PTide wrote: Oct 23, 2018 3:46 pm Hi,

Thank you for your request. In order to better understand what customers might need should we decide to support Mac, I would like to ask what is their current workflow, and what exactly do they want to backup - files, volumes, whole machine? I would imagine those are mainly files (maybe apps), however if you would provide some input that would be great.

Thanks!

My +1 and $.02 here. Our customers are typically 10 users or fewer, although we have a few who are upwards of 50 users. We are very invested in Veeam for our own backup needs and promote it heavily to our customers. We have a customer with a juggled up mix of Windows, Mac, and Linux machines who is looking for a centralized backup solution. We normally set the backup target to be a Windows share (external HDD, usually) or a Linux-based NAS, depending on their budget. Managed deployments are rarely practical in such small environments, so I straight-up don't care about that end, but it's hard for me to promote Veeam to a customer such as this one if the Mac users are left out in the cold. File-level MacOS support is badly needed!

+1 for Mac OS support, I had to direct a customer to alternative software today. Would much have preferred to install Veeam, as we do on all other devices.

Thank you @wishr, when will it be released so far?
Meanwhile, I asked to another Italian official Veeam products distributor. Hope this time I will be lucky.

Our major release cycle is approx. annual, so v11 should arrive sometimes in Q1 next year, just like v10 did this year.

Will the MacOS solution work on M1-based systems like the new Mac Mini M1 ?
