linux and direct san access (v11)

[AlexL]

Hi, I've been searching but couldn't find anything so far.
We are redesigning our backup infrastructure and would like to use linux hardened repositories with immutability.
What we really need is Direct SAN access, is that supported on a physical host with linux (RHEL8)?
Also, I'm assuming that Direct NFS won't be an issue since we'll actually be needing both.

Linux Proxy supports RHEL 6.0–8.3 as a Linux OS.

And with Veeam V11, you get all the nice Transport Modes DirectSAN should be covered by „ Direct Storage Access (for block and NFS storage)“

One thing to consider, A Linux Hardened Repo cannot be a Proxy Server. You have to disable the hardened thing or install dedicated Proxy Hosts for the Backup.

Linux proxy transport modes — Supported transport modes now include Direct Storage Access (for block and NFS storage), Network (NBD/NBDSSL) and Backup from Storage Snapshots (for block storage only). In addition, the existing hot-add transport mode performance has been improved significantly with the advanced data fetcher technology, previously leveraged by Windows-based proxies only.
