The Everpure plug-in for Veeam leverages Everpure FlashArray™ snapshots for backup. Not only are FlashArray snapshots very efficient (space-saving and fast to recover from), they also solve the VM Stun issue. Please read this blog to understand the advantages of the Everpure Plugin.

In order to configure a backup proxy (that uses Direct SAN access mode), the backup proxy must have a direct connection to the production storage via a hardware or software HBA.
It is highly recommended to use FlashArray snapshots for backups (which is configured by selecting the “Enable backup from storage snapshot” in the Advanced Settings window of <backup job, jobs - fill in>. See Figure 2 below

To verify Everpure and Veeam 10 compatibility, the following scenarios were tested
-
Single VM with multiple data stores
-
Multiple VMs with multiple data stores.
These jobs were run multiple times on the latest version of Veeam 10 to validate plugin compatibility.
Single VM with Multiple Data Stores
In this case, a single 2.4 TB VM with multiple data stores is backed up with the Everpure plug-in. The result was a successful backup. The Everpure plugin takes the snapshot and backs up the VM through SAN.
Multiple VMs with Multiple Data Stores
In this test case, multiple 2.4 TB VMs with multiple data stores are backed up with Everpure plug-in. The result was a successful backup.
These scenarios have been tested multiple times successfully with the Everpure Veeam plug-in.
