You need to attach it to what ever, Veeam Server or you can copy files to.

I have Veeam Back Up and Replicate and the (VMware) VM's back up jobs are pointed to a local Nas.<br />
<br />
On the Nas i can see a drive called Veeam and in there are folders that have the VM files.<br />
<br />
In each of the folders are files, one called (Backup Name).vbm and around 12 large files with file extension .vib.<br />
<br />
Can i copy these on to an external drive and keep the files offsite?<br />
<br />
In the event of a disaster is it just a case of putting them back to the same folder and setting up Veeam again.

Copying Veeam Back Up files from Local Nas to External drive.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Veeam® has pioneered a new market of Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™ by helping organizations meet recovery time and point objectives (RTPO™) of less than 15 minutes for all applications and data. Veeam develops backup, disaster recovery and virtualization management software for VMware and Hyper-V virtual environments. The company focuses on products that help with virtualized workloads, reduce downtime, and ensure the system Availability required by service-level agreements.

Veeam

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
