Footnotes
In Veeam technical documentation, we use footnotes to provide additional information on table content.
If there is only one footnote in a table, use the asterisk character (*) to mark the necessary word or sentence. If there is more than one footnote in a table, use Arabic numerals to mark the necessary words and sentences; number all footnotes consecutively in the order in which they appear in the table.
Tip |
In some cases, it is acceptable to use notes instead of footnotes. However, if one note refers to multiple table rows or columns, consider adding a footnote instead. |
Example 1 (Asterisk)
The following table describes network ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication with the Veeam Backup & Replication console installed remotely. From | To | Protocol | Port | Notes |
|---|
Veeam Backup & Replication Console | Backup server | TCP | 9392 | Port used by the Veeam Backup & Replication console to connect to the backup server. | TCP | 10003 | Port used by the Veeam Backup & Replication console to connect to the backup server only when managing the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure. | TCP | 9396 | Port used by the Veeam.Backup.UIService process for managing database connections. | Veeam Backup & Replication Console | Mount server (if the mount server is not located on the console) | TCP | 2500 to 3300* | Default range of ports used as data transmission channels. For every TCP connection that a job uses, one port from this range is assigned. |
* This range of ports applies to newly added backup infrastructure components. If you upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 10.0 from earlier versions of the product, the range of ports from 2500 to 5000 will apply to the already added components. |

1 Storage snapshot technology: - HPE 3PAR StoreServ — snapshot creation on Peer Persistent target
- HPE Nimble — snapshot replication
- NetApp FAS and AFF Series, FlexArray (V-Series), Fujitsu ETERNUS HX/AX, IBM N series, and Lenovo DM-Series — snapshot replication with SnapMirror/SnapVault
- IBM Spectrum Virtualize and Lenovo V-Series — snapshot creation on HyperSwap target

Example 3 (Notes)
The machine where VAO will be deployed must meet the necessary hardware and software requirements. Note that the VAO server can function as a Veeam Backup & Replication server (in addition to VAO functions) and must have sufficient resources provided. Specification | Requirement |
|---|
OS | Only 64-bit versions of the following operating systems are supported: - Microsoft Windows Server 2019
- Microsoft Windows Server 2016
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Note: You cannot install VAO on a machine running Microsoft Windows Server Core. | User Management | Windows domain-joined machine | SQL Server | Local or remote installations of the following versions of Microsoft SQL Server are supported: - Microsoft SQL Server 2019
- Microsoft SQL Server 2017
- Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (2016 SP2 Express Edition is included in the setup)
- Microsoft SQL Server 2014
- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2012 SP4 Express Edition is included in the setup)
Note: It is not recommended to use the Express Edition in any production VAO deployments — it should only be used for product evaluation. | Additional Software | All components will be installed during setup. For inline Report Template editing, Microsoft Word component of SP2 for Microsoft Office 2010 or later is required. | Veeam Software | If a standalone Veeam Backup & Replication server is used for backup and replication task management, it must be version 9.5 Update 4 or later. However, it is recommended that you install version 10 cumulative patch 2 as it includes a number of important fixes related to the VAO functionality. Note: If you connect a standalone Veeam Backup & Replication server to the VAO server, it must be joined to either the same domain or a trusted domain. | Virtualization Platform | VMware vSphere 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 6.7, 7.0 Note: The VAO server must be connected to VMware vCenter Servers. Direct connections to vSphere hosts are not supported. | Storage System | NetApp ONTAP 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 |
