LUNs read-only for VEEAM?

[JorisK]

Hi everyone,

I have to option to make all our VMFS LUNs read-only for our backup server and since Windows 2003 can damage unknown partitions easily i was thinking about enabling this option, but will VEEAM still be able to backup the snapshots?

Regards,
Joris

Hi Joris, I believe this should work fine since snapshots are not created by Veeam Backup server directly, but via VI API and corresponding ESX host instead.
