About VDMS

Veeam Data Mover Service (VDMS) is a component that performs

data processing tasks on behalf of Veeam Backup & Replication,
such as retrieving source VM data, storing backed up data on the
target storage and more.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/gateway_server.html?ver=95

Without VDMS, an Inline deduplication appliance cannot establish a direct connection with a backup proxy and will
require a Gateway server (virtual or physical).

 TAPE INTEGRATION

Tape is an incredible solution for extending the retention and meeting the 3-2-1 rule in
any data protection project. It's characteristics of durability, portability and cost
efficiency simply cannot be matched by any other solution, especially for the
companies who have already invested in the tape infrastructure. This is exactly why
we at Veeam continue making major investments into our tape support functionality

Why tape?

Cybersecurity, and ransomware, are top data protection challenges

Tape is the only “offline” storage medium – not susceptible to online viruses
Creating tapes in a Veeam environment has been challenging…
– Required a physical server – in mostly virtualized environments
…until now
Quantum introduces first converged tape storage for Veeam
(and it’s the best media for long term retention in terms of $/TB)
Tape’s Relevance in Protecting Against Ransomware

Backup copy is completely

offline, cannot be deleted or
otherwise modified remotely Ransomware free zone

Veeam Backup Tape

Server

Replication air gap + in VTL mode DXi offers extra protection

(ransomware can’t spread on VTL currently). Using VMDS will
“hide” DXi from the network (while delivering a unique value
to Veeam customers)
