Veeam Installation on Hyperv Cluster

[miham]

Hi,

I want to install veeam backup & replacation on hyperv cluster with 3 nodes. My question is what is the best practices for database. It should be on different server? If every node have own database i dont think its ok?

Hi Mihael and welcome to the community!

You can install a SQL database locally, so in case of disaster your backup server will failover to another node without need to restore separate DB. Thanks!

Thank you for your welcome and answer. so if i get this right. on all 3 nodes i must install database locally? thank you so much.

Nope, you should deploy VM on the cluster storage and install VBR with local DB.
In case of troubles with Node 1 this VM will be fired up by another alive node. Thanks!
