Install Veeam Backup and Replication from the SP Console (VBR v12)
Prerequisites
- at least 25 GB free space on the client computer (installation file is 13GB)
- Management Agent installed on client computer
- installation configuration file (you can get it from here)
- license assigned to the customer (you can manage licenses in the SP console VCSP plugin)
Installation Wizard
Log in to the SP console.
Go to Discovery > Discovered Computers
Choose the server where you'd like to install VBR
Click on Install Backup Server
On the Source tab choose Download the backup server setup file from a Veeam web server
This is the recommended way, because the wizard automatically downloads the newest backup server version.
Under Account, give the username and password of the server in the DOMAIN\USERNAME or HOST\USERNAME format.
Note: from SP console version 8.1, you are now able to save your hosts' admin credentials to easily reuse them at the next update.
On the Setup options tab, specify the installation configuration file. You can get it from here.
On the License tab, choose VCSP Pulse.
Then select License edition and highlight the listed license and click Next.
Note: if you don't see any licenses listed here, it means that you have not assigned a license to the company. Click here to see how to do that.
Do NOT reuse license files! Each company must use its own license file.
On the Company Info tab, specify the cloud credentials of the company.
Choose an appropriate Schedule. The Deploy now option will start the installation immediately. Optionally, you can let the wizard reboot the computer automatically.
Review your configuration under the Summary tab and click Finish.
The Deployment Status will change to Installing. Click on this link to review at what stage is the installation currently.
Note: Downloading the iso installation file is the longest step in the process. Depending on the bandwidth it can take even hours.
