Protected Computers Discovery and Veeam Agent Deployment

Veeam Backup & Replication supports automatic deployment of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux on computers in your infrastructure.

Starting from version 10a, Veeam Backup & Replication deploys Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 4.0.1 and Veeam Agent for Linux 4.0.1 on protected computers. Veeam Agents 3.0 and later work with Veeam Backup & Replication 10a as well. Thus, if you upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 10a from an earlier product version, you do not need to upgrade Veeam Agents on protected computers immediately.

To deploy Veeam Agents, Veeam Backup & Replication needs to discover computers whose data you want to back up. To enable discovery, you organize your computers into one or more protection groups. Protection group settings define what Veeam Agent computers Veeam Backup & Replication will discover and how the discovery process will run.
