Using 2TB datastore with Openfiler iSCSI backup destination

[albertwt]

Hi All,

I'd like to use Openfiler 2.3 (as VM which is hosted on my ESXi 4) as the destination of the backup of my Windows Server 2003 VBR 5.

Does Veeam BR 5 supports other filesystem as the underlying backup files ?
or does it have to be NTFS ?

Cheers,

Albert

Hi Albert,

Yes, we do support other filesystems to store our backup files. As far as I know Openfiler is a regular Linux server with SSH and Perl, so feel free to add it to the backup console like a Linux server and use it as destination for your backups, whithout reformatting its filesystem to NTFS.

Thanks!

thanks for the reply Vitaliy, I'll try to configure it and use it as backup storage.
