Veeam Agent Windows vCenter 6.5

[KaR]

Hello Veeam Community!

I recently started working at a new job and they have a physical Windows 2008R2 server running vCenter 6.5 update 2. The Veeam repository, backup server, and proxies are all VMs. I purchased the Windows agent when we renewed our licensing this last month and wanted to get input on backing up a physical vCenter server with Veeam.

Just for more information we have/are running:
vDS, vSAN, Veeam 9.5 upate 3a,

Is this supported? If so, once I install the agent I create a backup media disk in case of failure?

Been poking around and I haven't found anything definitive on this yet.

Thanks

Hi Kar,

Welcome to Veeam Community Forums and thanks for posting!

As far as I got the main goal is to back up just the vCenter itself, correct? Could you please also let us know what's the DB you run and where it is located?

Thanks

The database is on a separate server. MSSQL.

Hi Christopher,

Well, I do not see any potential issues with this setup.

You can deploy Agents using B&R Agent Management mode and store the backup on your normal B&R repository, then create a backup copy job to some external drive (USB, whatever). You may backup just the database or both vC and the DB depending on your preference.

I would recommend you to take a look at that thread - it has some useful information related to this topic. It's not about Agents, but the approach is similar.

Thanks
