I am going to quickly detail how to connect Veeam Endpoint to an existing Veeam Backup and Replication Server to use a backup repository.

Covered is;

• Pre-Reqs
• Setup the permissions on your Backup Repository
• Setting up the Backup Job
• Integration into Veeam Backup and Replication Server GUI
• Troubleshooting
• Resources

Pre-Reqs

First off, you need;

• Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE RC (build 1.0.0.1921)
• Veeam Backup & Replication v8 Patch #2 RC (build 8.0.0.1274)

And a suitable machine to run endpoint on.

Setup the permissions on your Backup Repository

It’s best to do this first, open up the GUI for Veeam on your Server.

1. Go to Backup Infrastructure > Backup Repository > Hold CTRL + Right Click on your repository object.

2. Add your users that can access to repository, usually this will be the main user or service account used for Veeam Endpoint on the remote device. In my case, the Windows 7 machine runs LOB software for compatibility reasons, so a service account is used.

Note: you can also configure encryption as well.

Setting up the Backup Job

1. Double click the icon in your task bar, or open the control panel of Veeam Endpoint and click to configure backup.

• Select your backup type

2. Select the destination as “Veeam Backup & Replication Repository”
