Two Veeam backup server and one Esxi host

Post by t2016 »

Hi,
Currently we are using Veeam Backup & Replication 8.0.0.2084 to backup VMs from Esxi 5.5 hosts. That Veem8 server is does not have much capacity and I want to move the
Veem to new server which has more harddisks.

My plan is to
1) Configure Veeam Backup & Replication 8.0.0.2084(trial) to new server and connect it to Exsi and move the backup jobs from old veem server.
2) once it is done, transfer the veem licence from old server to new veem server
3) remove the old veem server.

My question:
1) Can I connect two Veem servers to same Esxi host ?
2) Can I transfer the old licence key to new server?

Hope it is clear.

1. Yes, you can add the same host to different Veeam B&R consoles.
2. Yes, you can add the same license key to the new Veeam B&R server.

To transfer jobs and configuration, please use configuration backup/restore functionality.

You will need to install v8 GA, then upgrade it to build 2084.
