    Study Notes

    Installation Prerequisites and Components

    • A compatible Microsoft SQL Server version is necessary for Veeam Backup & Replication installation.
    • During installation, the Veeam Backup Service and required database engine are automatically installed.

    Importance of Open Ports

    • Checking open ports is crucial to ensure proper communication between Veeam components and external systems.

    Installation Directories and Files

    • The default installation folder is typically located at C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\.
    • The vPower cache folder stores temporary files used in instant recovery processes.

    Database Engine and Installation Issues

    • The setup wizard installs Microsoft SQL Server Express as the database engine by default.
    • If the setup cannot automatically install required software, the user must manually install these components.

    Server Placement and Configuration

    • For replication or Continuous Data Protection (CDP), place the Veeam Backup & Replication server in the same network segment as the backup and virtual servers.

    Port Configuration

    • Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager uses port 9392 for data collection from backup servers.
    • Catalog service data replication utilizes port 9394.
    • The mount server communicates with the backup server using port 6160.

    Upgrade and Version Management

    • Unsupported versions of Veeam Backup & Replication components should be uninstalled before an upgrade.
    • Place the database engine on a dedicated server for optimal performance.
    • SQL Clustering and Always On Availability Groups are recommended for external SQL Servers to ensure high availability.

    Installation Wizard Steps

    • The Port Configuration step becomes available after initial installation assessments.

    Microsoft SQL Server Express Limitations

    • Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition is limited to using 10 GB per database.

    Secure Connections and Other Ports

    • The Secure connections port encrypts traffic between components for added security.
    • The REST API service port enables programmatic access to Veeam's functionalities.

    Service Account Requirements

    • Use a dedicated user account with local machine administrator rights to run the Veeam Backup Service.
    • The Service Account must also have the appropriate permissions for data access.

    Setup Wizard Steps and Functions

    • The first step in the installation wizard is to validate the system configuration.
    • If Autorun is unavailable, manually execute the setup file from the installation medium.

    Licensing and Database Configuration

    • If no license is installed during setup, Veeam Backup & Replication will run in a limited functionality mode.
    • Specify a name for the configuration database; existing names will prompt an error.

    Instant Recovery and Caching

    • The Instant recovery cache folder holds files needed to swiftly restore VMs.
    • The guest catalog folder is used for maintaining backup metadata.

    Default Credentials and Service Management

    • The default service account for the Veeam Backup Service is recommended to be an administrative account.
    • Ensure the service account has sufficient rights to access necessary resources effectively.

    License Management and Configuration

    • Opt for automatic license installation when renewing or expanding contracts to simplify the process.
    • If changing the installation folder, specify the new path during the setup process.

    General Recommendations

    • Utilize any pre-existing SQL Server databases by specifying connection details during installation.
    • Regularly monitor and configure the Secure connections port to maintain data integrity and security.
