Veeam Backup Configuration
I would like to ask anyone here that has a good knowledge on veeam to instruct me on what is the best backup configuration for my network scenario. We have a dell blade server running Vsphere with a image of windows 2008 standard as our domain controller/file server, our files are located on an iscsi Buffalo Terastation 3000. I have been thinking on implementing veeam as a image backup solution, but I have some questions. Will veeam backup the vmware server image including all the contents of the iscsi drive mounted? and if yes I should assume that I may be best to add a separate storage destination that the nas, perhaps an usb drive? What can you guys tell me?
Cheers

My question is, we have a iscsi nas mounted on the windows 2008 image, will veeam include that storage location on it's backup?

Veeam does not backup the actual Host OS e.g. ESXi.
I would recommend you backup to a different location, e.g. NAS, Windows file share.
You could use a USB external disk attached to a physical computer, although in our experience USB external disks are slow.
