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.
Note that 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 |
By default, Exchange transaction logs will be truncated upon successful backup. To keep transaction logs for further processing by a 3rd party application, select the Exchange server machine from the list, click Edit and on the General tab select Perform copy only. |
Support for Database Availability Groups (DAG)
Veeam Backup & Replication supports any configuration of DAGs. In particular, having all the databases active on a single node or with the active databases on each node. Transaction logs will be truncated on all DAG members.
For more information and recommendations about DAGs, see this Veeam KB article.
