One VCSA, two backup servers

Post by bae2020 »

Hello,

So I'm running Veeam 9.5u4 and want to upgrade to ver.10. My problem is that I have a few production critical vm's running Win Server 2003 which ver.10 does not fully support.

My question is this, is it possible to have two separate Veeam backup servers (separate repositories) access the same VCSA 6.7 ? One server would run Veeam 9.5 to handle the Windows 2003 servers/vm's and the other one Veeam 10 for everything else ?

or is there a better solution ?

Best regards

Hi,

Yes, you can use any number of Veeam B&R servers using the same vCenter Server, just make sure you do not exceed the license key (total number of protected workloads).

Thanks!

And adding to this, you can use a single v10 Enterprise Manager instance to manage both the 9.5.4 & v10 VBR servers. That way you'll have a single spot to go to and check on job status.
