How to add all Physical server to Veeam one monitor for report generation?
Solved
Veeam one
Best answer by Geoff Burke
One wild and weird way to monitor windows at least, is to enable the hyper-v role but not use it as a hypervisor :). Seems a little much though but I did this once, I can’t remember the reason why.
+13What do you mean by Physical Server? Do you mean hypervisor hosts? Or Window/Linux/… Hosts?

We have 7 Physical server where as 5 are windows and 2 are Linux server. no virtual environment
+13If I did not miss some fundamental information, I would say, currently it is not possible to monitor non-vSphere/Hyper-V physicals hosts.
Community, please correct me, if I am wrong here.

I have to say, up to now, I did not see an environment backed up by Veeam without any hypervisor .. . except some stand-alone hosts and notebooks (like mine).

That is one really great thought

I did get some flack from the security guy saying that I had needlessly increased the “windows attack surface” i.e. nothing comes without a cost :)

Nice idea! But from a security perspective, I would not recommend this!

Unless they are RedHat then just install KVM :) going forward :)
