When you install Veeam Backup & Replication, you are asked to specify a path to the license file. If you do not specify a path to the license file, Veeam Backup & Replication will run in the community (free) version. For more information about product versions, see Community and Full Versions.

In this series, I’ll show step by step how to deploy Veeam, backup a first virtual machine and restore it. Architecture overview For this series, I have a cluster of two ESXi 6.5 nodes. The cluster storage is based on iSCSI and a. A vCenter 6.5 (VCSA) is deployed also in the cluster.

I have created a VM called BK01 which hosts the Veeam Backup & Replication software. A Raw Device (RDM) is added to BK01 to mount a Synology LUN in the VM. This is the backup repository. VM Size For this lab, I have created the following VM: • 2x vCPU • 4GB of memory • 1x OS Disk (40GB) – C: – Windows Server 2016 • 1x Data disk (40GB) – D: – Veeam binaries • 1x Data disk (40GB) – E: – NFS Datastore • 1x RDM disk (50GB) – R: – Backup volume For the production environment, you can review for the VM size. Install Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 For this installation guide, I have downloaded the following binaries from the: • Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 (Veeam B&R) • Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 update 1 Once you have downloaded the above binaries, you can mount the Veeam B&R ISO in the VM and run the setup.exe. In the first screen, you can click on Install. Next, you have to accept the license agreement to continue to deploy.

In the next window, provide a license file (*.lic format). If you have no license file, you can click on next and use Veeam Free Edition. Next, specify an install directory. I install Veeam B&R in another storage device than the OS virtual disk.

In the next screen, Veeam B&R setup checks prerequisites. If the required features are not installed, just click on Install to deploy the requirements. If you have selected install, you should have the following window while installing required features. Once all requirements are deployed in the server, all status are Passed.

Next, you can review configuration settings. If the configuration doesn’t fit with what you want, you can check the box Let me specify different settings. In the next screen, you can choose either a local system account or a domain account to run the Veeam service. I choose the recommended settings: LOCAL SYSTEM account. Next, you can choose the. If you have no SQL Server, you can install a new instance based on SQL Server Express 2012 locally.
