We are implementing a DataMiner system without failover at the moment and were curious if there is any issue with using VEEAM (https://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-backup.html) application to make image backups of the different servers?
Is anyone using VEEAM today?

One thing keep in mind: in case you're dealing with a big cluster and VEEAM - or any other tool for that matter - transfers the backup files to an external network location, make sure to spread out the transfers over time.
We've had an issue at a customer where simultaneous backup transfers on a big cluster were completely saturating a network switch interface, which in turn impacted DataMiner polling.

Thanks Ruben, good to know.
