Postgre SQL and SQL Server DB on the same VBR server

[albertwt]

Apologize in advance as I cannot find any Entra ID sub forum here.

Do we have to fully use PostGre SQL to enable the Entra ID backup in the VBR server v12.3?
Because my existing Config DB is still on SQL Server on the same server as the VBR server.

Database connection settings for the Microsoft Entra ID backup repository cannot be found. Configure the repository according to this KB article to continue.

I cannot find any settings or information for the existing Postgre SQL based on: https://www.veeam.com/kb4653


Thank you,

Hi Albert

Do we have to fully use PostGre SQL to enable the Entra ID backup in the VBR server v12.3?

No, it is not required.
- Backup Configuration can be on MSSQL or PostgreSQL.
- EntraID backups have to go to PostgreSQL.

As explained in the knowledge base, if the automatic deployment of PostgreSQL during the upgrade process didn't succeed, you'll need to deploy your own compatible PostgreSQL instance.

The Microsoft Entra ID backup repository requires a PostgreSQL instance. If one is not available, you must deploy a compatible PostgreSQL instance.

Hi Fabian,

Is there any way procedure I can follow from Veeam for installing the Postgre SQL database in the same server?

Thank you,

Hi ALbert

We don't have a guide on how to install PostgreSQL. But we also never had one for MSSQL server.
Can you verify if PostgreSQL was installed or not on the backup server? It should be there.

If PostgreSQL is there, try with this settings (no password):
