Deployment
Starting from version 13.1, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution allows you to add universal hypervisor servers to the backup infrastructure, and to manage data protection and recovery operations for universal hypervisor workloads from a single console.
To access the plug-in functionality, you can either deploy a new backup server as described in section Deployment or use a backup server that already exists in your backup infrastructure if it meets the Veeam Plug-in for Universal Hypervisor API system requirements.
You can install the plug-in on the backup server manually, for example, when some updates and patches become available.
