Required Job Settings

This requirement applies to backup jobs, replication jobs, and CDP policies created by Veeam Backup & Replication.

When you create a job or CDP policy, make sure to enable application-aware processing in the Veeam Backup & Replication console:

When you configure a backup job, you can do this at the Specify Guest Processing Settings step of the New Backup Job wizard.
When you configure a replication job, you can do this at the Specify Guest Processing Settings step of the New Replication Job wizard.
When you configure a CDP policy, you can do this at the Specify Guest Processing Settings step of the New CDP Policy wizard.

When you create storage snapshots, application-aware processing is automatically enabled. For more information, see the Application Item Restore from Storage Snapshots section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Note

You must use Veeam Agent backup jobs in the following cases:

If your Microsoft SharePoint infrastructure contains virtual and physical machines and has Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft SQL Server installed on separate machines. You can use one or separate jobs to back up the Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft SQL Server machines.
If your Microsoft SQL Server machines are a part of a failover cluster.
