Sharepoint Backup Best Practice

[JasonPGTF]

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a backup for my Sharepoint 2013 application. I have 1 Search server, 1 Application Server & 1 DB server for sharepoint, these are all VM servers.

Do I need to create a separate backup jobs for each of the server? I need to have the ability to perform file /object level recovery.

Hello,
everything in one job is the easiest way https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/ba ... tings.html

Hi Hannes,

Which means in 1 job, I need add all 3 servers together?

Currently I only setup 2 backup jobs for my search server & web/app server. Both with app aware turned on, however when I tried to do recovery I do not see any sharepoint recovery option.

Hi Jason,

It does not matter whether Sharepoint servers are in the same job or not - you simply pick up a backup for a VM hosting your "web/app" instance so the mount operations will be possible.

Have you checked our guidance? What is exactly missing? Any screenshots you could share?

Thanks in advance.

You also need application-aware processing to be enabled in the job settings.

it cannot work without DB server.

it's not required as mentioned by Fedor. But there are some situations where the database is not automatically detected when you use different jobs. (there is a reg key to fix that). That's why I suggested one job
