Support for Windows Storage Server

[vid03150]

Hello, everyone.

I have a question about Veeam Agent for Windows.
Does Veeam Agent for Windows support Windows Storage Server?
I could not find descriptions about Windows Storage Server in the user guide.

Thank you for cooperation.

Hello Hiroshi and welcome to the community!

I've discussed your question with the QA team and the answer is negative, so Windows Storage Server is unsupported in the current version of the product. Thanks!

[DGrinev]

I've reached the technical writers, so the requirements section was updated. Thanks!

Thank you for your answer.
I understand the situation.
I hope that it will be supported in the future.

I join the topic because I want to back up a NAS server with the Veeam agent for Windows Storage Server 2012 R2. I hope the support will be carried soon

I checked with QC for the history behind this statement, and apparently it simply was not explicitly tested. From what I know about Windows Storage Server (regular Windows Server without ability to enable certain roles like Domain Controller), VAW should work just fine on the vanilla version - as long as the particular storage vendor did not disable some "unnecessary" things or did other breaking tweaks. Thanks!

Is it possible to backup a Windows Storage Server bij installing a veeam agent on it ?

[Vitaliy S.]

Yes, it should work and some customers are already using Veeam Agent to back up data on Windows Storage Server.
