Incremental Compatibility with Windows Server Backup (wbadmin)

Post by l8tech »

I'm looking to use Veeam Agent for WIndows as replacement for wbadmin, but would like to run both for a period of time. Will the two products conflict with each other when determining what data has been modified for incremental backup? For example, 25 files are new or modified and wbadmin runs first, does it (or Veeam) alter (modified flags, archive bit...etc) required by the other product to complete the same incremental backup?

No. The only potential conflicts for VAW are antiviruses blocking its activities.

l8tech,

Indeed, you may run both on the same machine but please make sure Veeam Agent for Windows and wbadmin jobs have different schedules that do not overlap to avoid possible interference with VSS snapshot creation. Thank you!
