Remote management

[marky]

Just wondering if I install Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 7 on a different server, will this enable me to remote manage Veeam if I point the SQL to our Veeam Server DB?

I have read there's no remote management facility but thought I'd ask

Thanks

Mark, there's no such a requirement to install Enterprise Manager on the same server where Veeam B&R is installed. Moreover, their DBs also can reside on different SQL instances. No issues with such a distributed setup.

Foggy, think you might have misinterpreted me. I have veeam installed on a physical and want to remote manage the app without RDP'ing to it all the time.

Sorry for getting you wrong. Yes, Enterprise Manager allows to perform some backup and replication tasks on Veeam B&R remotely.

So just point the SQL portion to the database on the production server?

You can either use any existing SQL Server instance or install a new one as a part of Enterprise Manager installation. Then just add the Veeam B&R management server to Enterprise Manager console to collect information about its jobs and backups and you're good to go.
