Veeam Backups with VMware SRM (Array based replication)

[Stevet20]

Has anybody built a similar infrastructure or can see any issues with the following scenario

Current
Two VMware based sites utilising nimble storage with SRM (Array based replication - replicated snapshots)

Plan
Use Veeam backup and replications nimble integration to utilise array based snapshots for local backups a site A and replicated array based snapshots to create remote backups at site B on a repository located at site b.

Just wondering if the snapshots created from within Veeam would cause an issues with the scheduled snaps of the nimble protection manager if the backup could be completed between the scheduled nimbles one handled by the nimble protection manager.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the community!

It should not cause any issues. When the job finishes processing VMs it deletes the snapshot from the primary storage. The snapshot on the secondary storage will be removed from the chain in accordance with the retention policy.

Thanks
