Before You Begin

Before you add a Microsoft Windows server to the backup infrastructure, check network connection settings of this server.

  • Check permissions required to add the server. For more information, see Permissions.
  • File and printer sharing must be enabled in network connection settings of the added Microsoft Windows server. On every connected Microsoft Windows server, Veeam Backup & Replication deploys two components:
    • Veeam Installer Service
    • Veeam Data Mover

If file and printer sharing is not enabled, Veeam Backup & Replication will fail to deploy these components.
