Can VBR backup VBR it self?

My VBR server ip address is 10.18.120.200 then when i try to make Backup Job using Windows Computer then fill the VBR IP Address, i can see the job have failed with below picture.

 

You shouldn't backup de VBR Server. We recommend create the configuration backup. This is enough to get everything working. 


Hi ​@wesmrt 

This because the VBR server is not dedicated only for VBR, but the server have another roles also.


Though Veeam doesn't recommend doing so, yes...it can be done. I back mine up & have been doing so for quite a long time with no issues. 

It looks like you may be trying to back yours up with an Agent? So I guess you have a physical server used for Veeam? Mine is virtual and always has been. So if you're having an issue using the Agent on a physical computer, I've not had experience there.

As we always suggest, you can either look at the log files for more info or contact Support. 


As mentioned configuration backup is the method for the VBR server but yes you can also back itself up as I also do it as well like Shane but my server is a VM.

Out of curiosity, what other role do you have installed?!
