Installing Veeam CBT Driver

You can use the Veeam Backup & Replication console to quickly install the Veeam changed block tracking (CBT) driver on a protected computer. This operation may be required, for example, if you want to evaluate driver performance on a selected computer rather than deploy driver to all computers in the protection group at once.

If you work with computer included in a protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents, you can install and uninstall Veeam CBT driver only from the Veeam Agent computer side. To learn more, see the InstallCBTDriver and UninstallCBTDriver sections in the Veeam Agent Configurator Reference.

Before you install the Veeam CBT driver, check the following prerequisites:

• The protected computer on which you want to install the driver must run a Microsoft Windows Server OS.
