Veeam agent synchronisation
Hi teams,
i deployed veeam agent on workstation via VBR ( Managed By Agent mode )
I would like to know the time synchronisation between Agent and VBR.
My issue is when i want to change backup time in job , there no synchro on veeam agent and i must force synchronisation on agent.
it is not very convenient.
Thanks for your feedback
Regards
Seb

Re: Veeam agent synchronisation
i find an answer in doc
Veeam Agent does not connect to Veeam Backup & Replication immediately after updated backup policy settings are saved. Veeam Agent checks whether Veeam Backup & Replication has any updates in the backup policy settings periodically. As a result, a time period between scenario steps 1 and 2 may take up to 6 hours.
So we need to force the synchro on the client after modifiy Backup job configuration on VBR

Re: Veeam agent synchronisation
Hi Dopamind
Agent Policies updates are synced when your automatic protection group rescan is run.
Or you can use the Apply Configuration button in the right-click menu in the Veeam console.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
The behavior is different for protection groups with pre-installed agents. Your statement from the doc is about protection groups with pre-installed agents.
What type of protection group have you deployed?
- Individual computers
- Microsoft Active Directory objects
- Computers from CSV file
- Computers with pre-installed agents
- Cloud machines
Best,
Fabian

Re: Veeam agent synchronisation
Hi Fabian,
just another question.
we are in restrict area and we need to deploy veeam agent in pre-installed agents on physical machine with tiers tools to avoid open ports
the issue is that type of deployment is not permit in server mode / manage by backup server
the goal is to manage backup job from Veeam Entreprise Manager
this is a way to bypass this and deploy Veeam agent server in pre-installed mode ?
in below the error message

thks

Hi Dopamind
Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass that.
