Use a Drobo iSCSI Array as a Target for Veeam Backups

and there is no virtualization layer. Make the decision based on the amount of data to be backed up and
features you might want to use in Veeam (for example, compression and deduplication).
Network Considerations
For Network mode backup and restore, Veeam uses the LAN to receive and send data. Therefore, as a best
practice, most IT administrators deploy two network interfaces. One interface is used for management (RDP
to the server, AD traffic, DNS, and so on). The second interface is dedicated to backup and restore traffic.
This results in the best possible backup and restore performance, as it will not overload the management
network.
Creating and Mounting a Drobo Volume
Follow the directions in the Drobo Online User Guide to configure the Drobo and create an NTFS volume:

STEP 1
In this step, two Drobo volumes are created using Drobo Dashboard. Do NOT install Drobo Dashboard on
the Veeam server but on a different host. Once the volume is created, it will be the repository in which
Veeam stores its backups.
Mount these volumes using Microsoft
iSCSI Initiator on the Veeam server.
Once the volumes have been created,
using Drobo Dashboard to open
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on the Veeam
server: Start > Administrative Tools
> iSCSI Initiator
If you have not used Microsoft iSCSI
Initiator before, you will notice that the
list of volumes is empty.
