This section gives instructions on how to migrate a configuration database to another SQL server.As a result, you will be able to continue using the same Veeam Backup & Replication server but it will be connected to a configuration database on another server.īefore you migrate the configuration database of Veeam Backup & Replication to another SQL server, consider the following limitations and considerations: If you need to migrate the Veeam Backup & Replication configuration database to another SQL server, you can connect the configuration database to a Microsoft SQL Server instance deployed on another server and restore the configuration settings from the backup. In such cases, you can place the Veeam configuration database on an existing instance to lower the total cost of ownership. Some enterprises have dedicated virtual clusters for SQL Servers due to licensing constraints. To learn about the configuration details, see this Veeam KB article. SQL Clustering and Always On Availability Group on external SQL Servers can be used for high availability of the configuration database. However, in some scenarios a remote Microsoft SQL Server instance can be the better choice: It is the best practice to keep the Veeam Backup & Replication application and its configuration database on the same server to maintain lowest latency and highest performance.
