Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) is a fully compliant and certified full-stack cloud infrastructure sold and supported by Google. You can natively deploy VMware vSphere-based workloads in a dedicated Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) on Google Cloud and utilize the same applications, tools, processes, and policies you use today for your on-premises infrastructure. This environment requires no specific preparations to allow Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 or later to work with it. You can utilize Veeam Backup & Replication with GCVE to back up, restore, and replicate VM workloads (both CDP and Snapshot-based replication are supported), just as you would any other vSphere environment.

GCVE operates the service using standard VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX versions. In addition, general compatibility is ensured for any Veeam Backup & Replication version that supports the vSphere version used by GCVE.

Note: To ensure that all functionality is available, please set up one of the Solution User accounts, which are intended for third-party products to interact with VMware.
