Veeam 13 offers new option to add as backup component into Veeam infrastructure with service account. If you are missing windows component and you would like to use same method as connection between appliances. Then this method is the right one.

Method is described in KB.

 

Let’s go how to achieve that step by step:

 

Deployment kit is downloaded from windows Veeam 13 console.

 

Here looks downloaded package.

Installation from PowerShell, locally on windows server.

Adding windows server via deployment kit = certificate

 

Process is very easy and do not require service account for connection between other backup components in Veeam backup environment.

Now you can use windows server as managed server in your Veeam backup environment.
