Backup veeam tape server

Post by matteu »

Hello,

I'm thinking about backup my tape server with veeam agent.
Do you think it's a good idea or you prefer to rebuild it and reinstall driver + additionnal programs

You don‘t have any real data on the server. Each veeam related configuration is stored in the vbr database.

Protecting it helps you to recover faster from a os or hardware issue. If you don‘t want to reinstall and reconfigure your windows, do it. :)

Hello :)

Yes, I knew for no data stored on it but it's if rebuild is necessary. I would like to know how your customer do it ? Do they use veeam agent for this or they just ignore it.
