Chaing Agent Backup Jobs with Server Jobs?

Post by mensa »

Hello,

is it in any way possible to chain Windows Agent Backup Jobs with Server Backup Jobs?
That would be a really helpful feature, if the Windows Agent would also provide that option:

Server:

Windows Agent:

Or is that because of a technical or commercial reason in the Windows Agent?

Hello mensa,

Thanks for sharing your request! The problem is that standalone Veeam Agent for Windows knows nothing about Veeam Backup & Replication jobs. That said, we will have this option available as part of Agent Management feature in upcoming Veeam Backup & Replication Update 3.

Very cool, thanks!
When do you think is Update 3 coming?
Will that work also with free version of Windows Agent?

mensa,

Soon. Free agents can use direct backup to the repository (same as before), however agent management feature will require agent license installed on a backup server.

Is there also a non-free Agent for Windows PC?
Is that included in the same installation media as the B&R server?

Yes. You can get a trail license (or NFR) to test Workstation or Server edition here.

That’s the plan for upcoming update.
