For managed service providers, use stencils to map:
| Component | Description | |-----------|-------------| | | Central management component (often with a distinct blue/white Veeam logo). | | Backup Proxy | Virtual or physical appliance handling data movement. Subtypes: VMware, Hyper-V, Windows, Linux. | | Backup Repository | Storage target: Direct-attached, CIFS/NFS, Dedupe appliance, Object storage. | | Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) | Composite icon representing tiers (Performance, Capacity, Archive). | | WAN Accelerator | Deduplication engine for offsite copy jobs. | | Guest OS File Indexing | For instant file-level recovery. | | Veeam Gateway Server | For SMB/NFS repositories or cloud connect. | | Veeam Cloud Connect | Service provider or tenant side icons. | | Veeam ONE | Monitoring and reporting components. | | Veeam Orchestrator | DR orchestration and failover plans. | | Hyper-V/VMware Hosts | Though not Veeam-specific, often included for context. | | Object Storage | AWS S3, Azure Blob, IBM Cloud, Wasabi, etc. | | Tape Library | For archival backups. |
Clearly distinguish between various backup roles like Veeam Proxies, Repositories, and Wan Accelerators.
: Use arrows to show data movement from the source to the repository to distinguish between primary backup and backup copy jobs. 🚀 Key Stencil Components to Include Veeam Backup Server : The "brain" of the operation.
: Extract the .vss or .vssx files to a local folder. Import into Visio : Open Microsoft Visio. Go to the Shapes pane. Select More Shapes > Open Stencil . Browse to your extracted Veeam files and click Open .
Veeam’s expansion into Kubernetes (K10 by Veeam), Microsoft 365, and AWS RDS means stencils must evolve. Expect future community packs to include:
: Many architects prefer the Improved Veeam Visio Stencils by Rhys Hammond. These often include better connection points (North/South/East/West) and auto-resizing text boxes. 🛠️ How to Install and Use
A Veeam architecture diagram created with proper stencils becomes a universal language between:
