System Requirements
Before you start using Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft SQL Server, make sure the requirements listed in this section are met.
Specification | Requirement |
---|---|
OS | 64-bit versions of the following operating systems are supported:
Note: Server Core installations of Microsoft Windows Server OSes are not supported. |
Microsoft SQL Server Database | The following Microsoft SQL Server versions are supported:
To connect to the Microsoft SQL Server, Veeam Plug-In requires Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server versions 17 or 18. Other driver versions are not supported but can be present in the same system. By default, Veeam Plug-In uses driver version 17. If driver version 17 is unavailable in the system, Veeam Plug-In automatically uses driver version 18. Optionally, you can manually set a preferred driver version in the veeam_config.xml file for cases when the default driver version is not suitable for your system. For details, see Specifying the Version of Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. Notes:
|
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio | Veeam Plug-In Toolbar requires Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 21.x. Note: Remote connections from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio are not supported. |
Veeam Backup & Replication |
Veeam Backup & Replication 13 supports management of Veeam Plug-Ins 13. Management of previous versions of Veeam Plug-Ins is not supported. |
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. |
