Step 6. Specify Installation Settings

In this article

    At the Default Configuration step of the wizard, you can select to install Veeam Backup & Replication with default installation settings or specify custom installation settings.

    By default, the setup wizard installs Veeam Backup & Replication with the following settings:

    • Installation folder: C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication.
    • Guest catalog folder: C:\VBRCatalog. The guest catalog folder stores indexing data for VM guest OS files. Indexing data is required for browsing and searching for VM guest OS files inside backups and performing 1-click restore.
    • Catalog service port: 9393. The catalog service port is used by the Veeam Guest Catalog Service to replicate catalog data from backup servers to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
    • Service account: LOCAL SYSTEM. The service account is the account under which the Veeam Backup Service runs.
    • Service port: 9392. The service port is used by Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to collect data from backup servers and by the Veeam Backup & Replication console to connect to the backup server.
    • Secure connections port: 9401. The secure connections port is used by the mount server to communicate with the backup server.
    • SQL Server: LOCALHOST\VEEAMSQL2012. During installation, Veeam Backup & Replication installs a new instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express Edition locally on the backup server.
    • Database name: VeeamBackup. Veeam Backup & Replication deploys the Veeam Backup & Replication configuration database on the locally installed instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express Edition.
