System Requirements
Before you start deploying Veeam Backup for Proxmox VE, make sure the virtual environment and the backup infrastructure components meet the following requirements.
Specification | Requirement |
|---|---|
Hypervisor | Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) must be installed on x86 hardware that supports virtualization capabilities. |
Virtualization Platform | Veeam Backup for Proxmox VE supports Proxmox Virtual Environment version 8.2 (or later) installed using the official ISO image provided by Proxmox. |
Veeam Software | Veeam Backup & Replication version 12.2 must be deployed on the backup server. |
Workers | Workers process backup workload and distribute backup traffic when transferring data to backup repositories. If you deploy a worker using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated:
With the default configuration, the worker can handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks. While deploying a new worker or editing settings of an existing one, you can increase the maximum number of concurrent tasks. However, you must allocate 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM for each additional task. When configuring the maximum number of concurrent tasks, you must also take into account the network traffic throughput in your virtual infrastructure. |
