Both of these systems support Complete backups only. Note that Veeam actually performs cumulative backups but when it interacts with Abiquo, Veeam stores and retrieves complete backups.
You can edit backup properties as before. The Backup now option is only available in the UI when you are working with Avamar 
To use a backup system, you should first create a backup manager for the datacenter. The backup manager configures the connection to the backup system including the endpoint and optional credentials. Here you should specify the type of the backup plugin. Abiquo does not validate the connection details. In this initial version, a connection will be made to the backup system when a user requests a backup operation. Tip: When adding a Veeam backup manager, don't forget to add the slash "/" at the end of the URL. Abiquo does not display the credentials, but the user can edit them. The user cannot edit administrator can edit all values except the backup type. If you change the backup manager, any new future requests to the backup system will use the new detailsvalues.

Avamar supports the replication option.
The enterprise that creates the backup policies will automatically be allowed to use them. For other enterprises, you must select the allowed backup policies for each datacenter.
Then to assign backup policies to their virtual machines, users in the enterprise will be able to select backup policies from the allowed backup policies. In the API, the configured backup is stored for the virtual machine using the backup configuration definition data media type.
The user will then need to configure the backup at the virtual machine level, for example, to set the time, disks or file system path as required. In the API, the configured backup is stored using the backup configuration definition data media type.
There have been some changes to the user interface. After the user creates a backup, they can see the backup in the list on the Backups tab. To restore the backup, as before, the user clicks on the Restore link. To display a list of restore details in the lower section of the same tab, the user clicks on the backup. NEED TO SEE THIS
