Hello Daniellcy81

An Agent can only be managed by a single Veeam Backup & Replication server.
May I ask, why do you need two different backup servers? Maybe you can solve it with a single one and use backup copy jobs to send backups of each disk to another location?

because the D drive and E drive contain the data too huge. each drive got few TB size.
i hope to reduce the backup timeline.
you mean i backup the data to 1st server and then send the copy backup to 2nd server?

Hi Daniell

They are too big to be stored on a single backup repository server? Then you could use a single Veeam agent to backup Disk D to the first repository server and Disk E to the second repository server.

1. Install Veeam Backup Replication on Server 1
2. Add Server 2 as a backup repository server
3. Deploy the Agent to the production server
4. Create two Veeam Agent for Windows server backup jobs:

Job 1:
Source: Drive D
Target: Server 1

Job 2:
Source: Drive E
Target: Server 2

I'll recommend to design your backup infrastructure depending on your production servers.
You should consider a large repository server to store the entire backup of your production server. And please do not forget about the second copy. You should always have a second copy of your backups which is ransomware protected.

Best,
Fabian
