Veeam VMware Proxy Server is not at the console

[melgendi]

Team, I have a strange issue, our customer was relaying on Veeam and we had a crisis that force us to rebuild the entire backup solution, we did successfully install the Veeam V9 Backup Management server - Backup Repository on Windows, but when we went to the Proxy installation i can't find the control of installing the Backup proxy its not there in the backup infrastructure tape of the console, any idea why i can't find it

Hello Mohamed and welcome to the community!
You can find the New VMware Proxy wizard in the Backup Infrastructure view > inventory pane. You need to select the "Backup Proxies node" and click "Add Proxy" on the ribbon.

Thanks!

I Opened the Backup Infrastructure Tape but there is no Backup Proxies there it start with Backup Repositories, The customer is the one who did the installation, do you think he made some mistakes on the installation.

Have you added anythign to back up ? Vcenter / hyper-v hosts

[melgendi]

No No, its completely new installation, the customer had an old installation, but its crashed and he created everything from scratch on new VMs even New Repository. No servers added yet and no backup jobs

[Shestakov]

That`s probably the reason. You need to add a virtual infrastructure first because proxies are hypervisor-specific (Hyper-V vs vSphere)

If you have a backup of the old configuration file you can restore that into your new VBR installation instead of reconfiguring everything from scratch.
