Server move

[Matt@]

I currently have a physical Veeam server, which is also a backup repository with local storage running Veeam B&R 10. I would like to virtualise the sever and move to v11, whilst keeping the physical box as a repository. Is there a guide on how to do this? Should I go to 11 first, then migrate?

Recommendations welcomed...

Thanks!

I would do it this way:

1. Upgrade Veeam V11
2. Let Backup Jobs run at least 1-2 days
3. Disable all Backup/Backup Copy Jobs
4. Export Configuration Backup:

5. Install the new VBR Server on your Vm with a new database
6. Import Configuration Backup from the old vbr

7. Uninstall the old vbr software from your physical Server
8. Add the old path from your old Backup Server as a Repo (Direct Attached Storage Repo, not cifs)

9. Rescan the Repo (choose „Import existing backups automatically“ in the wizard)

10. Edit your Backup Jobs and map the backup chain to the newly configured Backup Repo

11. Start the Backups Jobs again
