Date	Summary of updates
July 2026	IBM Storage Virtualize Plugin for Veeam Backup and Replication 2.4.2 includes the following updates: Storage partition support Storage partitions include resources such as volumes, volume groups, hosts, host clusters, and host-to-volume mappings, forming a virtual storage system centered on application-level logical resources. You can configure storage partitions for high availability across two independent storage systems by associating a replication policy. For Veeam Backup and Replication users, backup and restore operations are supported on storage volumes in both local and highly available partitions when the IBM Storage FlashSystem is registered using the cluster IP address. IBM Storage FlashSystem provides storage integration with Veeam Backup and Replication across all storage partition types. Thin provisioning enhancements IBM Storage FlashSystem can explicitly create thin-provisioned volumes during thin clone creation when no provisioning policy is defined on the pool.
