Licensing Veeam ONE & Veeam Backup Servers

[lowlander]

Hi,

when we add a vCenter server to Veeam ONE, licenses are used based on the amount of CPU sockets.

How about Veeam Backup servers. Is it expected behaviour that we can add multiple Veeam Backup servers without needing additional licenses ?

[Vitaliy S.]

Yes, that's expected. Basically, all you need to license is the same infrastructure you have licensed for Veeam B&R. If virtual infrastructures added to Veeam backup console and Veeam ONE differ, then matching when generating reports (for example, Protected VMs report) will not be possible and you will have no data there.

So basically, we can add Multiple Veeam Backup Servers from different environments without even having a license ?

Suppose you want only reporting on repository size and history on backup jobs.

[Vitaliy S.]

You can do that, but VM data in most of the backup reports will not be matched.
