Step 2. Select Job Mode

In the New Agent Backup Job window, select the type of the backup job. For a Veeam Agent backup job managed by the backup server, select one of the following options:

• Server job — select this option to back up data on standalone servers. This option is recommended for computers with a persistent connection to the backup server.

For backup jobs that process servers, Veeam Backup & Replication offers settings similar to the settings of the backup job available in the Server edition of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. To learn more, see the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows User Guide.

• Failover cluster job — select this option to back up data on a failover cluster. This option is recommended for failover clusters with a persistent connection to the backup server.

For backup jobs that process failover clusters, Veeam Backup & Replication offers practically the same backup job settings as for servers.

If you want to create a Veeam Agent backup policy, select the Server policy or Workstation policy option. To learn more, see Creating Policy for Windows Computers Using Web UI.
