Connect same vcenter on 2 veeam backup server

Post by fcimmin »

Good evening everyone, I wanted to know if you can connect at the same time, the same vcenter on 2 veeam backup server. I would like to do this because the machine running my veeam backup server currently has some problems, and I would like to create a new machine where migrate all jobs without blocking service.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums!
Yes, you can install another VBR server and add vcenter to its console. I would also suggest to make configuration backup of the original VBR server and restore it on the new one if you are planning to use the new server as the main one. This way you don`t need to reconfigure all jobs.
Please review this KB article.
Thanks

Thanks,I'm very happy to take part of this community.I have another question.
Can I use the same license on two servers simultaneously , whereas the licenses are applied per hosts/core?

The licenses are applied per CPU socket. Yes you can use one license on two servers.
Please read this part of FAQ section.
