Move Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to another OS/VM (fresh install, same remote db)?

[t7MevELx0]

Hi,

What’s the recommended process for reinstalling Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on a new OS or VM? We’re considering this as a troubleshooting step to rule out any underlying OS issues, assuming it’s safe to do so.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

Build a new VM using the same hostname and IP address

Install Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and point it to the existing PostgreSQL database and NATS server (both hosted on a separate Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM)

Delete the NATS streams folder before starting the services

I know Veeam support often suggests uninstalling and reinstalling the software since there’s no repair option. I wanted to check if you’ve had success moving the installation to a fresh Windows environment like this.

Thanks!
