            Veeam Backup & Replication integrates with the leading primary storage arrays to enable backup and restore of individual VMs, guest
            files and application items from storage snapshots of VMware VMFS and NFS volumes. In addition to built-in integrations, Veeam provides 
            the Universal Storage API that allows qualified storage vendors to create fully supported custom plug-ins.<br/> 
            To start using this functionality, register your storage by clicking this text. If you don’t see your storage in the list, please install the corresponding plug-in first.
            </span></a>

            <img src="cmdimg/take_volume_snapshot.png" alt="" /><span class="wrap_text"><span class="title">Take a Snapshot</span>
                Set up periodic storage-level snapshots of your VMFS or NFS datastores using the storage management console. The storage
                will automatically snap your datastores, providing frequent restore points that enable short RPOs for the most common recovery
                scenarios, with little to no impact on your production environment.<br />
                For evaluation purposes, you can create an "ad&nbsp;hoc" storage snapshot by selecting the desired LUN in the&nbsp;Storage Infrastructure
                tree, and clicking the corresponding button in&nbsp;the&nbsp;ribbon.
            </span></p>
        <p class="p_block">
            <img src="cmdimg/restore.png" alt="" /><span class="wrap_text"><span class="title">Restore</span>
                To perform a restore from a storage snapshot, browse to the desired snapshot on the Storage Infrastructure tab, and select
                the VM you want to restore. You can restore the entire VM, individual guest files or individual Microsoft Active Directory,
                Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft SQL&nbsp;Server and Oracle items.<br />
                Please, keep in mind that storage snapshots are not real backups, as they would be lost along with production data in the&nbsp;event of a&nbsp;storage disaster. Thus, you should never rely solely on storage-level snapshots for data protection. To&nbsp;ensure
                protection against all types of disasters, continue to perform proper backup of all VMs to non-production storage using
                Veeam backup jobs or VeeamZIP.
            </span></p>

                Enterprise Plus edition additionally enables VMware backup to be performed directly from storage snapshots. This&nbsp;functionality
                puts your primary storage capabilities to&nbsp;work, allowing for improved recovery point objectives (RPO) while greatly reducing
                impact from backup activities on production VMs.
