Maximum Virtualisation and Data Protection: The Power of Proxmox and VEEAM Data Platform Integration

Proxmox VE is an open-source virtualisation platform that is becoming increasingly popular due to its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Organisations use Proxmox to manage multiple virtual machines (VMs) based on KVM or containers via LXC. While Proxmox offers powerful virtualisation features, data protection remains a priority for any IT infrastructure. This is where VEEAM Data Platform comes in.

A leading player in the backup and recovery market, VEEAM offers seamless integration with various virtualisation platforms.

Why integrate Proxmox and VEEAM?

1. Reliable backups: VEEAM offers powerful VM backup capabilities, which can be fully integrated with Proxmox's infrastructure via the KVM hypervisor. This ensures that you always have complete and consistent snapshots of your virtual machines.
2. Quick recovery options: VEEAM's advanced recovery capabilities allow you to quickly restore Proxmox VMs, whether it's a full VM recovery, file system recovery or even application-level recovery.
3. Efficient Storage and Compression: VEEAM offers deduplication, compression and WAN acceleration, meaning backups take up less space and can be replicated to remote locations faster.
4. Automation and scalability: Both platforms allow you to use automation scripts and tools such as APIs to automate and execute backup processes at scale, ideal for large environments.

The latest version of Veeam Data Platform, version 12.2, now offers native support for Proxmox VE. This means you can add Proxmox VE servers to your backup infrastructure and manage data protection and recovery operations from a single console.

Here are some key features of this integration:

• Immutable backups: This ensures that both on-premises and cloud backups of Proxmox VE-VMs are protected against ransomware, accidental deletions or malicious manipulations.
• Improved backup performance: Advanced changed block tracking (CBT) and HotAdd backup mode allow Proxmox VE users to benefit from fast and efficient VM backups, even for powered-off VMs.
• Easy migration and recovery: The integration makes it easier to migrate and restore VMs, providing greater flexibility and reliability.
