Installing second Veeam B&R server behind a firewall and dividing current VUL

Question

Hello,

We are looking into moving a set of our VMs that are currently being backed up by Veeam behind a firewall for extra security. We are running the latest version of Veeam and have VUL.

Will the VUL policy allow us to install a separate instance of Veeam B&R server behind this new firewall to backup the servers there? And will I need to divide the current license count according to my needs and apply to the new instance of Veeam B&R server?

Thank you for your comments and ideas in advance.

Hi@Veebr- I’m pretty sure you cannot ‘split’ a VUL (or any) Veeam license. But, what you can do, since you’re going to have a 2nd VBR server, is install Enterprise Manager and manage licensing for your VBR servers through it.UPDATE: Actually, scratch that - according to Hannes in a forum post, you can split a VUL

Hi, it’s fine without splitting your license up provided you use Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to Manage your licenses between the instances. Open the firewalls enough to let both VBR installations to talk to VBRM and you’ll be fine
