1. [Install Veeam Backup & Replication](setup.md).
2. [Install the Veeam Backup & Replication console](quick_console_login.md).
3. [[For VMware vSphere] Add virtual infrastructure servers](vmware_setup_hosts.md).
4. [[For Microsoft Hyper-V] Add virtual infrastructure servers](hv_setup_hosts.md).
5. [[For VMware vSphere] Configure VMware backup proxy](vmware_setup_proxy.md).
6. [[For Microsoft Hyper-V] Configure backup proxy](hv_setup_proxy.md).
7. [Configure backup repository](setup_repository.md).
8. [[Optional] Configure object storage repository](setup_object_storage.md).
9. [[Optional] Configure scale-out backup repository](setup_sobr.md).

In the simple deployment scenario, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the backup server also as the backup proxy and backup repository. For this reason, you can skip steps 5-7.
