Veeam Agent for Windows configuration storage location

Post by gladston3 »

Hello,

where is the configuration of the Veeam Agent for Windows saved/stored? I have a strange bug where I have multiple backup jobs on one agent even after un- and reinstallation. So I would like to delete/reset the configuration manually.

Thank you very much in advance
Cheers

They are in the SQL database, so will be preserved unless you also manually delete database files.

So uninstallation of VAW, deleting the Veeam SQL DB and finally reinstall VAW should do the trick?

Any change you are using Veeam Availability Console to manage this agent?
deleting the Veeam SQL DB
You can use a special hack - Re-create the Database of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, in this case uninstall is note required.

No, but I had a trial license of VBR installed and didn't realize that there were also VAW licenses included. I revoked the the license in VBR while I was in the configuration process in VAW. The configuration ended with an error two times but somehow persists still and regularly throws errors out. At least the job I configured afterwards works fine.

Nice thanks! I'll give it a try (:
