We have Veeam Backup and Rep. We are currently backing up vSphere VMs and AWS EC2 instances (using Veeam agents).
We want to start backing up the AWS EC2 instances without the Veeam agents. In the deployment guides, it looks like you have to deploy an EC2 instance called “Veeam backup appliance.”
We have a site-to-site VPN between our on-prem and AWS tenant.
Is there any reason the appliance couldn’t be in vSphere? Does its existence in AWS allow it some additional access that it can’t get while in vSphere?
