Backup FsX

[steve.ross@ii.co.uk]

Hi i am looking for a way to backup AWS FsX storage ?

Hi Steve,

FSx is currently not supported within Veeam Backup for AWS. A workaround would be to mount the data and back it up using NAS backup included in Veeam Backup & Replication.

Are you using FSx on Windows or Lustre?

[steve.ross@ii.co.uk]

We are using FsX on Windows, we had considered the approach you suggested but its a very inefficient way to backup and erodes a lot of the benefits of FsX

Understood. We have it on our longer roadmap but for now, I can’t provide an ETA when it will be delivered.

We are facing the same challenge. We need to be able to efficiently backup FsX in AWS. My vote to move it higher on the priority list!

Hi Gene,

Your vote is noted. Could you please let us know which flavor you are running and using?

Hi Team,

Any progress on AWS Fsx backup?

[nielsengelen]

Hi,

No changes. It is planned for a future release.

Any update on supporting Fsx with Veeam for AWS? We have a need for this support as well?

Hi Michael,

It will not be part of the upcoming release but it's high on our priority list for our longer roadmap. For now, VBR is the workaround until we add native support in our cloud solutions.

Hello, I just wanted to provide another vote for native backup support for AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems. This would be an excellent feature for our mutual Veeam and AWS FSx customers.

Our NAS file backup is incremental forever and can be used today for the mentioned environments. From cost side I think this is as well on the lower side against cost for long time snapshots in AWS. Can you please share what you mean that our NAS backup is not efficient in that case?

If you use FSx with VMware Cloud on AWS => https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/netapp-so ... m-explorer

Hi Bill,

Your request is noted and we'll look into native protection for a future release but I cannot provide an ETA for it. The workaround would be to utilize VBR with our NAS engine to protect your shares.

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce with our v8 release we support Amazon FSx for Windows, Lustre and OpenZFS.
