Reinstall Server OS

[Skeeter395]

Hello All,

I am looking for a little clarification on reinstalling the OS on my Veeam B&R server. I have a Server 2012R2 running B&R, the SQL database is on a separate server as well I have a 2 repositories. 1 repository is local and the other is remote. I have the base OS and B&R installed on different drives than the local repository and I will NOT be upgrading the SQL server or the remote repository. I was thinking I could follow the following: https://www.veeam.com/kb1889 for this; however, in my case I will not a server for a period of time while I do an OS reinstall.

I was thinking I would:
Stop and disable all jobs.
Manually perform a configuration backup.
Close Veeam GUI and stop all Veeam Services.

Reinstall a new server OS and install B&R 9.5 update 4

Perform configuration backup restore.

Since I am not upgrading the Database server or the off site repository I shouldn't have to touch them right?


Thanks,
Scott

Fantastic. Thanks for the clarification.

Please keep in mind that you'll need to choose the "Migrate" option when restoring from configuration backup to avoid time-consuming rescans.

Thank you.
