TrueNAS is the first storage platform certified under Veeam's newest Ready Appliance category: All-In-One (Virtualized). Instead of sitting behind the Veeam Software Appliance as a repository target, TrueNAS Enterprise hardware runs it directly. One hardened backup infrastructure, one box, one certification. [See how the VSA runs on TrueNAS](https://www.truenas.com/open-storage-for-veeam/#tnveeam-vsa) As of September 18, 2026, Veeam lists exactly two systems under All-In-One (Virtualized). **Both are TrueNAS.** ![TrueNAS V-Series unified storage appliance](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Veeam_Ready_V160_Image.png) TrueNAS V-Series — Veeam Ready certified Veeam Ready: All-In-One (Virtualized) Backup Target: Disk DAS Immutability HA & Single Controller What All-In-One (Virtualized) means All-In-One (Virtualized) is Veeam's certification category for hardware built to run the Veeam Software Appliance (VSA) as a guest virtual machine, not just host a backup repository behind a separate Veeam server. On TrueNAS, that means the backup server and the backup storage are certified together, on one device. ## One hardened appliance, running where your data already lives The Veeam Software Appliance packages everything a Veeam server needs. TrueNAS gives it a home built for the job. The Veeam Software Appliance ### A backup server you don't hand-build The VSA is a hardened Linux image that packages Veeam Backup & Replication, a backup proxy, and a hardened repository role into one deployable guest. You skip building a Veeam server from scratch on Windows or Linux, and you get automatic software updates and secure defaults from first boot. Fewer chances for the misconfigurations that turn into ransomware incidents. On TrueNAS ### Backed by OpenZFS, not just virtualized The VSA runs as a VM under the TrueNAS Data Hypervisor, the platform's built-in virtualization layer. Its boot disk and backup repository are both zvols, OpenZFS native block volumes, so the appliance inherits the same self-healing checksums and integrity verification protecting every other workload on the system. Deploy the VM, assign network settings, and configure jobs and policies through the standard Veeam web console. ![TrueNAS V-Series appliance running in a live data center](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/v160-datacenter.jpg) ## What changes when the backup server and the repository are one certified system A traditional Veeam deployment asks you to size, secure, and certify two systems separately. The All-In-One path certifies one. | | Traditional Veeam stack | VSA on TrueNAS | |---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Backup Server | Separate Windows or Linux host to size, purchase, harden, and patch | Hardened Veeam Software Appliance VM | | Repository | Often a separate NAS, SAN, or disk shelf | Backup-storage zvol on the same TrueNAS system | | Certification | Storage and backup server certified separately, if at all | Certified together as Veeam Ready, All-In-One (Virtualized) | Traditional Veeam stack vs. VSA on TrueNAS ## Why teams are consolidating onto one certified device Fewer systems to secure. Fewer certifications to chase. More control over recovery when it counts. ### Fewer boxes, one certification All-In-One (Virtualized) is built for single-site, appliance-minded teams who don't want to run and patch a second server just to host Veeam. Fewer boxes to manage, and one certification to point to during security or procurement review, not two vendors' worth of paperwork. ### Resilience built into the storage layer A separate physical Veeam server means a separate spares kit, redundant power, and a recovery plan for its own disk corruption. On TrueNAS, OpenZFS checksums protect the appliance's own data the same way they protect your backups. If the VM faults, TrueNAS restarts it instead of asking you to rebuild a server. ### Faster recoveries, not just faster backups TrueNAS can serve as the high-performance platform behind Veeam Live Restore, presenting file or block storage to hypervisors alongside the VSA. That shortens the path back to production, not just the backup window. ### A checkbox procurement can actually verify Procurement teams check Veeam Ready listings before a vendor gets near an RFP. All-In-One (Virtualized) status is something they can verify directly on Veeam's site, not a claim they have to take on faith. ## Certified TrueNAS hardware Veeam's Ready Appliance program requires passing every compatibility and functional test, plus extensive performance testing for backup and restore operations. Two TrueNAS lines have cleared it. ![Veeam Ready Appliance badge](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Veeam-Ready-Appliance-Badge.png) ![TrueNAS F-Series all-flash storage system](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/F60_Top_Down_Front.png) Certified ### TrueNAS F-Series All-in-One Backup Target — Disk DAS Immutability Cleared Veeam Ready testing in both High Availability and Single Controller configurations. ![TrueNAS V-Series unified storage system](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/00-4ixga-0001_chassis-asm.39.png) Certified ### TrueNAS V-Series All-in-One Backup Target — Disk DAS Immutability Cleared Veeam Ready testing in both High Availability and Single Controller configurations. TrueNAS H-Series certification for smaller deployments is currently in progress. ## The only All-In-One (Virtualized) systems on Veeam's list Veeam's qualifications page is the source of record procurement teams check before a vendor gets anywhere near an RFP. 2 of 2 Systems listed under Veeam's All-In-One (Virtualized) category as of September 18, 2026. Both are TrueNAS. What is Veeam's All-In-One (Virtualized) Ready Appliance category? A certification for hardware that runs the Veeam Software Appliance (VSA) directly as a guest VM, rather than only serving as a repository target behind a separately hosted Veeam server. As of September 18, 2026, exactly two systems carry it. Both are TrueNAS. What is the Veeam Software Appliance (VSA)? A hardened Linux image that packages Veeam Backup & Replication, a backup proxy, and a hardened repository role into one deployable guest, with secure defaults and automatic updates out of the box. How does the VSA run on TrueNAS? As a virtual machine under the TrueNAS Data Hypervisor. Its boot disk and repository are OpenZFS zvols, protected by the same self-healing checksums as every other workload on the system. You manage jobs and policies through the standard Veeam web console. What's different from a traditional Veeam deployment? A traditional stack needs a separate backup server and a separate repository, each certified on its own if at all. The VSA on TrueNAS puts both on one Enterprise system, certified together. Which TrueNAS hardware is certified? F-Series and V-Series, both in High Availability and Single Controller configurations. H-Series certification for smaller deployments is in progress. ## Get started Already running TrueNAS Enterprise? Your account team can size a VSA deployment on hardware you own.
