Infrastructure

Hypervisor

Refer to Proxmox VE system requirements.

Virtualization Platform

Proxmox VE version 8.2 or later is supported.
Both standalone and clustered Proxmox VE configurations are supported (all cluster nodes must be registered with Veeam).

Storage

VMs residing in Proxmox VE storage of any type except for the BTRFS and custom storage types.

Workers

Workers process backup workload and distribute backup traffic when transferring data to backup repositories. If you deploy a worker using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated:
- CPU: 6 vCPU
- Memory: 6 GB RAM
- Disk Space: 100 GB for product installation and logs

With the default configuration, the worker can handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks. While deploying a new worker or editing settings of an existing one, you can increase the maximum number of concurrent tasks. However, you must allocate 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM for each additional task. When configuring the maximum number of concurrent tasks, you must also take into account the network traffic throughput in your virtual infrastructure.

Virtual Machines

Virtual Hardware

All types and versions of virtual hardware are supported, except Open vSwitch networking.

OS

All operating systems supported by the Proxmox VE version in use.
