Step 2. Choose Server

At the Server step of the wizard, choose a physical or virtual server to which the tape devices are connected and that you want to add as the tape server.

  1. From the Choose server list, select the server that you want to add as the tape server. As a tape server, you can use a Microsoft Windows or Linux server, physical or virtual, added to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. For the tape server system requirements, see System Requirements.
  • If the devices are connected to the Veeam backup server, select This server. The tape server role will be assigned to the backup server.
  • If the devices are connected to a separate server, enter the server name. If the server is not added to Veeam Backup & Replication yet, you can click Add New to add a new Windows server or Linux server to the backup infrastructure. To learn how to add those servers to the backup infrastructure, see Adding Microsoft Windows Servers and Adding Linux Servers.
