Veeam B&R 9.5 Backup Server on Windows 10

[mcguireland]

I noticed that the system requirements lists various support OS' for the Backup Server portion
(https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95)

Does this ultimately mean I can install B&R 9.5 on a Windows 10 VM?
If so, what would be some benefits of installing this on a Windows Server 2016 VM instead of a Windows 10 VM?

$800 vs $200 for an OS license is easier to budget! Thanks to anyone who can answer/advise on the two questions.

Yes, that's correct.

You can install it to the Windows 10 OS, however using the server OS is usually a preferred option for the backup server deployment. If you care more about performance here, then it will depend on the bottleneck stats after you run your 1st job.
