SQL Server Agent (VEEAMSQL2012)

Post by perjonsson1960 »

Folks,

The service named "SQL Server Agent (VEEAMSQL2012)", in our main Veeam B&R server, is disabled. Is that by design? It has not been disabled by us.

If you installed Veeam Backup & Replication with the embedded SQL Server Express install - yes. And in fact, the SQL Server Agent is installed and disabled by default in most situations.

This is because the SQL Server Agent is loosely describable as a job scheduler. Meaning, you make SQL Server Agent jobs that "do things" to the database. I wrote a blog post of related situations of how to use SQL Agent jobs:

Gives a view of some scripts too if you want to play a bit with VESQL.
