The backup server must meet the system requirements listed in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section System Requirements.

Veeam Backup & Replication console

64-bit versions of the following Microsoft Windows operating systems are supported:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2025
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2022
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 (only for remote installations)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (only for remote installations)
  • Microsoft Windows 11 (versions 21H2, 22H2, 23H2, 24H2)
  • Microsoft Windows 10 (versions 1909 to 22H2)
  • Microsoft Windows 10 LTS (versions LTSB 1607, LTSC 1809, LTSC 2021)

Other system requirements for the Veeam Backup & Replication console are listed in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Veeam Backup & Replication Console System Requirements.

Note: If you plan to use an instance of the Veeam Backup & Replication console installed locally, keep in mind that Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 do not support the Microsoft Entra ID functionality. To workaround this issue, use an instance installed remotely.

Backup proxy

The general-purpose backup proxy must meet the system requirements listed in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section System Requirements.

Microsoft Entra ID backup repository

The Microsoft Entra ID backup repository stores tenant backups. This repository is based on a PostgreSQL instance. The requirements for this instance are the same as for the PostgreSQL instance that stores configuration database on the backup server. For more information, see the Configuration Database row in Backup Server System Requirements section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Cache repository

The cache repository stores temporary cache files for log processing. This repository must meet system requirements described in the Cache Repository System Requirements section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Log backup repository

The primary and secondary log backup repositories store audit and sign-in log backups and their copies. These repositories must meet requirements described in the Backup Repository System Requirements section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

For information on which types of repositories can be used as primary and secondary repositories, see Configuring Repositories.
