Backing up MS Access Database

[maface99]

Hello,

I am using Veeam to backup a MS Access database app on a Hyperv computer. Should I be using application-aware backup for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi MJF,

Enabling it won’t hurt. However, there’s no Veeam application-aware support or VSS integration for Microsoft Access databases.

To ensure a guaranteed consistent backup, make sure no application has the Microsoft Access database open during the backup.

Keep also in Mind, running applications directly on the Hyper-V host or protecting the Hyper-V host is not recommended.

Best,
Fabian
