Backup job and snapshot

[garba1980]

Hello everybody.
Only a clarification. I have a vSphere 6.7 HOST with 9 virtual machines on local RAID 5. One of these VMs installed Veeam Backup & Replication 10 Free, with repository on QNAP NAS. During the Veeam Backup & Replication backup job, the temporary VM snapshot created by Veeam, where is it physically created? On the QNAP NAS repository, or is it also written to the local disks of the HOST?
Thanks everyone, have a nice day.

Hi,

it is a VMware Snapshot and with that the Snapshot lives in the same Datastore the VM lives. The VMware Snapshot handling itself it ouside Veeam.
So in your case it should be on the RAID5 on your host.

Thanks
