  • RHEL 8.4 – 9.x
  • SLES 15 SP3

SAP MaxDB

Veeam Plug-In for SAP MaxDB supports SAP MaxDB 7.9.11.

Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication 13 supports management of Veeam Plug-In for SAP MaxDB 13.

Network

Veeam Plug-In should be able to establish a direct IP connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Thus, Veeam Plug-In cannot work with the Veeam Backup & Replication server that is located behind the NAT gateway.

For communication between the Veeam backup infrastructure and servers that host databases to be backed up, one of the following authentication protocols is required:

Keep in mind that Veeam Plug-In running on the Unix OS does not support Kerberos authentication.

  • Windows New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM).

As NTLM is provided by Microsoft, only the Veeam backup server running on the Microsoft Windows OS supports NTLM.

If you have Veeam Plug-In running on the Unix OS and want to authenticate to a Veeam backup server running on Linux (Veeam Software Appliance), you cannot use domain accounts. In this case, you must use a local user account. We recommend specifying credentials for a local user account with the Service Account role. To learn more about available local user roles, see Configuring Users.
