Protected Computers Discovery and Veeam Agent Deployment

In this article

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 9.5 Update 4b, Veeam Backup & Replication deploys Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 3.0.2 and Veeam Agent for Linux 3.0.2 on protected computers. Veeam Agents 2.0 to 3.0.1 work with Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4b as well. Thus, if you upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4b 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.
