Veeam Agent - SBS 2011 - Tape Backup

[Treeeman]

Hello,

i have a physical MS Windows Server SBS 2011 Server.
Two Questions:
- Is SBS with his Components (Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010) fully compatibel with Veeam Agent?
- How am i able to store my Veeam Agent Backup on Tape?

My Idea regarding the second Point:
I know i can create Tape Jobs in Veeam B&R.
The Agents itself seems not to be able to store his Files on Tape.
Maybe i should buy Veeam B&R Essentials plus one Veeam Agent for Servers and manage this Agent with B&R?
Or is there a more elegant/cheaper way?

Thanks & KR
Marco

Hi Marco,

Welcome to Veeam Community Forums and thanks for posting your query!

The list of supported systems can be found here for the Agent and there for AAIP. Both MS WServer 2008R2 and Exchange 2010 SP1, SP2, and SP3 are supported.

Please note, that Backup to Tape jobs are only available on at least Enterprise B&R licenses, while File to Tape jobs are available even on Free B&R licenses. You can check that thread for additional information.

Should you have any questions, just let us know.

BR,
Fedor
