Postgres and MSSQL on Same Server?

[stryker54141]

I want to install VONE and VBEM on the same server, so I'm going to use MSSQL on that server. Since VBEM and VBR must be on the same DB flavor, I'm installing MSSQL on my VBR server. I just finished my VBR install and I noticed that Postgres installed even though I chose to use MSSQL. Is this OK?

If it is, can I run Postgres and MSSQL on my VONE/VBEM server and reinstall my VBR with Postgres?

Hi struker54141,

The postgres installation is likely due to Entra ID backup introduced in Veeam 12.3, which uses postgres databases as repositories.

So having both can be an expected situation in this case, just ensure you chose Microsoft SQL as the database instance since you're using MSSQL for Enterprise Manager as well.
