backup copy jobs

[heliop100]

Hi,

It's possible to setup one repository to receive backup copy jobs from two sources, one with Veeam B&R 9.5 and another with Veeam B&R 11?

Thanks.

It depends on the used Backup Repo Type.
If it‘s a CIFS or NFS Repo, then yes. Dedup Appliances or Object Storage (SOBR Offload) will also work for two different VBR Servers at the same time. This is supported and not a problem.

It will not work, if the Backup Repo is on local disks.

Veeam needs to install a Services on the Backup Repo Server. This Services will be shared between both VBR. Therefore, they need to have the exactly same version.

Second, It is not recommend to share components between two vbr servers. They will be not aware of each other for ressource schedulling. And you have to update both vbr servers at the same time to use the backup repo.

A small clarification - in the mentioned supported cases you have to point the repositories to different folders on the same device.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
And if I have one local disk, but add it as backup storage as \\localhost\backup_folder?
All tree servers must have CIFS as storage?

Thanks.

You can use the storage on the vbr with the local disk directly as a Repo.

And the other vbr server accesses the disks over a CIFS Share. Create different Folders on the disk as Foggy mentioned.
