Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Moving Individual Backup/Backup Copy Job to New Server/Datastore

Hi Tim,

May I ask, did you use remote repositories for the backup server? This would make it easier to migration.

Generally, the procedure you put together looks good to me.
However, instead of disabling only the jobs, I suggest disabling all Veeam services on your backup server. The old backup server should no longer interfere with your repository. You might even consider uninstalling Veeam Backup & Replication before starting the migration, backup files won't be deleted by uninstalling our application.

If you decide to keep the old backup server for some time, please note that adding the exact same repository folder path to more than one backup server is not supported. Even if you disable the jobs, this would put you in an unsupported situation.

Best,
Fabian
