Hello,
We want to perform VEEAM backups on a server that has MAXDB. Is there an agent allowing MAXDB backups including logs as it is the case for SQL Server? Moreover, it seems to believe the forums that restoring a VM with a MAXDB database leads to an inconsistent database if you don't freeze it first. Is it always the case? cordially

Have you seen this resource?
Yes but we want also save the MaxDB logs.
You can write a script which saves the logs and the database with MaxDB commands and backups them afterwards via the Veeam agent.

This is going to be the way forward for now, if you write a script and want to share with the rest of the community, you should then share it here to help others: VeeamHub · GitHub
And definitely make sure to post on the Veeam R&D forums if you’d like to see Veeam extend official support to this, others may be in the same boat!
There is a 3rd part VSS provider/writer for MaxDB. I haven’t worked with it before, but I know that a customer was thinking about using it. I’m not sure if it was this one, but I’ve found it via Google and it was also mentioned in the blog post above: http://www.maxback.io/
