No, Veeam is not able to store backups within TSM Server. Veeam and TSM are totally independent. Veeam is capable to use tape drives to store backup data, but we are not using tapes. Veeam supports data encryption and compression for data repositories on disks under Windows. In addition, it is compatible with Windows 2012 drive deduplication. We are using four Veeam repositories on Windows 2012 R2 VMs running on VMware hosts directly connected to not expensive SAN disk subsystem. Each repository has 2TB de-duplicated Windows 2012 drive (de-duplication rate 60-80%).

Isnt Veaam capable of storing the backed up objects within TSM itself?

I would like to recommend to use Windows 2012 R2 as Veeam Repository servers with native Windows deduplication for drives with backup data to reduce required storage size. By the way, most of the critical production VMs we are backing up using traditional TSM backups used on source standalone servers before virtualization. Yes, it is a little bit expensive solution, but combination Veeam + TSM backups (without TDP for VM) is extremely reliable and I do not think TDP for VM is less expensive. We are using only traditional TSM backups for MS Clusters with RDMs, where Veeam is not working.

Our VM support staff has looked into using Veeam as an alternative. Does any have opinions on which approach they would recommend.
