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.
