Is it possible with the Veeam B&R free edition that Veeam Agents can use it's repositories as backup destination and configure a backup copy?

Hopefully last questions.

So if i have a Veeam Agent license installed within Veeam B&R Free, i should be able to do planned automatic backup copy jobs from Veeam Agent backups?
Can Veeam Agent and Veeam B&R Free be installed on the same server?

It seeams for me, that it is not possible to create a backup repository with Veeam B&R Free edition.
Is this true?

Thomas,

That's true - you need to have any license (VBR or Agent license) installed in the Free edition to unlock the repository feature.

I installed the Windows Agent license only inside Windows Agent.
I had to install the Agent license also inside Veeam B&R Free!
Now i can create the backup respoitory.

Thomas,

Sound right. When Veeam backup repository is used as a target Veeam B&R must manage your agent license, thus it's required to install the Agent license inside Veeam B&R console. Cheers!
