Enhanced Orchestration and Management for Snapshots and Replicas


Veeam Backup & Replication provides complete orchestration and management of snapshots and replicas on FlashArray
system from the data center to remote sites. This integration allows snapshots and replicas to be managed, cataloged, and
backed up to FlashArray//X, FlashArray//C, or Pure Cloud Block Store™. Pure Storage FlashArray was one of the first storage
solutions to support Veeam’s USAPI framework, and the Pure Storage Plugin for Veeam is the most adopted plug-in by Veeam
customers. FlashArray snapshots are very space-efficient and fast to recover from and provide deep integration with Veeam.

The Pure Storage Plugin is available for free and may be downloaded from the Veeam website.

Pure Storage integration with Veeam provides:

• Agentless, application-consistent array-based snapshot backups

• Veeam management and orchestration of FlashArray snapshots, backups, and replicas from the data center to a remote
site

• Snapshot offload from replicated snapshots

• Support for secondary use case from remote snapshots including to S3 object storage and the cloud for longer-term
retention

• Auto-on SafeMode—source snapshot, replicated snapshot, and Veeam backup repository
