To get this head here and click Download on the Veeam Software Appliance 13 section, you will need a valid Veeam login for this
We need the ISO for this, so click the Bootable ISO button and click Download
For the hypervisor, this example will be done in VMware
We need to right click the cluster and click New Virtual Machine
Click Next
Enter a VM name and optionally select a VM folder, then click Next
For the computer resource, select the cluster and click Next
Select a shared datastore then click Next
Select the VM compatibility and click Next
The guest OS type must be the Linux family and for the OS version, Rocky Linux, then click Next
For the spec, this should have 8vCPU, 16GB RAM and 2x240GB disks, ensure you change the Disk Provisioning to Thin in VMware
Veeam’s documentation on the spec can be found here
Now, for the ISO you’ll need that uploaded to a datastore or content library, expand the CD/DVD drive and use the drop down to select the option matching your environment, in my case its a Datastore ISO File
Browse to the ISO and click ok, then check the Connect At Power On button and click ok
Then click ok
Make sure you are happy with the config and click Finish
Then, select the VM and click Power On
