[EricWang]

Hi All Veeam expert,

Currently I am using Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5.
can i backup my physical server which is running on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 installed?

If not supported, any other ways can backup my server using Veeam,

thanks in advance.

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

For physical Windows machines you need the Veeam Agent for Windows (VAW). VAW has support for 2008 R2 SP1 and later. So the answer is: no

Other ways: migrate that old machine to a virtual machine. For VMs we don't care about the operating system inside the VM (well, application aware processing for 2003 inside VMs will be dropped with V10)

Best regards,
Hannes
