Backup external DB server with VeeamDB

Post by chh »

Hello all,

we are curently in the process of building a central SQL server to eliminate all those spawning SQL and SQL express installations.
Of course we want to backup this with Veeam including SQL Log Backup.
What I am not sure about is if this will work when I put the VeeamDB on that SQL server.
Can I do this or will I pull away the floor under my feet if the DB is backuped?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Veeam B&R database is excluded from VSS processing, so you should be fine placing it on the same server.

Is that true even for an external SQL server? So Veeam realizes, "that is my DB so I leave it alone"?

Yes, this also works in case of remote SQL server.
