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.
