Veeam Agent on ARM64 Windows

Post by ender »

I tried installing Veeam Agent 4.0.1 on Windows 10 20H2 Arm64, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be possible. The first hurdle is that there's apparently only x86 .NET 4.8 available, so Veeam tries installing .NET 4.7.2 first (which fails). I then tried faking the Registry values for .NET (I just copied stuff from SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full to the non-WOW6432Node branch), which let the Setup proceed further (successfully installed prerequisites), but during the final phase of the setup it fails with Failed to create ShowLicensePopup registry value.

This isn't really important, as I'm using my ARM64 Windows more as a toy, but maybe it'd be nice if Veeam Agent could run on it.

Hello,
thank your for this request. Looks like that this is the first request on the public forums for ARM support for VAW :-)

Best regards,
Hannes

Yup, I did a search before opening the topic, and nothing came up.

Hello ender,

Mind me asking what type of ARM device you got? Thanks!

I'm running Windows inside KVM on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4.

Hello

I try to install Veeam Agent to Windows 11 ARM and failed. (Parallels virtualization) VeeamAgentWindows_5.0.1.4584

Product: Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows -- Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\VeeamEndpointSysUtils.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024703. Contact your support personnel.

I switched macOS Apple Silicon and i need Windows OS for other applications. Other 3rd party applications (Ip scanner, Server vendors tools) running just fine but Veeam Agent failed.

Unfortunately you're out of luck here Mehmet: as per System Requirements, we don't support our agents on ARM architecture. Only x86 is supported.

It's been a few years, and I now have the Windows Dev Kit 2023 (Volterra), running Windows 11 22H2 ARM64. Veeam Agent 6.0 installs without needing to do anything special, and runs in x64 mode. While backing up works, restoring files doesn't, due to the driver not supporting ARM64 ("Failed to check FLR driver."). Files can be restored through Veeam Agent running on an x64 machine.

Recovery media also can't be created (complains about missing WinRE, and even pointing the wizard at ARM64 media doesn't help).
