Veeam VSA and other on Proxmox

[m.costantino]

Hi!
We're studying moving from VMWare to Proxmox but there are something that in a Proxmox is not usable at the moment.
So far I found:

- Cannot use VSA installation (only Windows installation VM supported, no support for vistual appliance/OVA)
- No supoprt for VirtualLab

Am I missing something? is there a matrix table of what's not supported at the moment between VMWare and Proxmox?

Hi Michele,

On Proxmox VE, you can deploy Veeam Software Appliance using the ISO image (Help Center) on a virtual machine. We plan to provide an importable template, similar to OVA, in one of our future releases.

SureBackup is a frequently requested feature, and it is on our roadmap, but I cannot share a timeline. I am happy to add your request as another vote. As a workaround, you can use Instant Recovery for manual verification. Instant Recovery for Proxmox VE was introduced in version 13.1.

A public matrix does not exist, but you can start with our Help Center, where we document all supported features for Proxmox VE.

Best,
Fabian

So, installing as a "normal ISO" will be ok to import backup configuration of a VSA? (same version of course!)

Thank you very much.

Hi Michele,

Yes, sure.

1. Create a new Proxmox VE virtual machine
2. Deploy Veeam Software Appliance from the ISO image
3. Install a license
4. Restore from a configuration backup

Please note that you can only restore from a configuration backup created on another Veeam Software Appliance.

If you want to restore a configuration backup from a Windows-based backup server, this would be a Windows-to-Veeam Software Appliance conversion. You can find more information here:
