Hi,
Anyone used Symantech/Veritas Storage Foundation together with Veeam for disk volume management, and is it compatible with Veeam B&R 6?

Re: Veritas Storage Foundation
Kristen, if you are talking about backing up VMs using VxFS as their guest file system, then yes, VBR can backup such VMs. I would say that VBR is, in some sense, guest file system agnostic. Also, JFS (implementation of VxFS) is supported for File-Level Restore (it is listed in the corresponding table in System Requirements). Hope this helps.

Re: Veritas Storage Foundation
Hello,
I have customer asking about FLR from VxFS, as VxFS is not mentioned on the list of supported filesystems for file-level restore in v7 release notes. Is there any other documentation where I can find VxFS on the list of FLS supported file systems?
Thanks
Rgds,
Bo.

Boris, it was not specifically tested, however JFS, which is somehow, as far as I understand, based on VxFS, is supported. So the only way to make sure is to try.

Re: Veritas Storage Foundation
Even if FLR fails for some reason, you still will be able to restore granular data by running a given VM directly from a backup file via Instant VM Recovery and, then, copying required files from there. Thanks.
