description Veeam Backup for Physical Servers Overview
This capability allows Veeam to protect physical servers directly using agents, capturing the OS, applications, and data onto the backup repository. While it doesn't replicate the *live* state like a VM tool, it provides a robust, tested method for restoring the entire physical machine state onto new hardware, which is crucial for mixed environments.
help Veeam Backup for Physical Servers FAQ
What does Veeam Backup for Physical Servers protect?
Veeam protects the operating system, applications, and data on a physical server through Veeam Agents. It creates backups that can be used to restore the whole machine or recover selected files, depending on the backup job.
Does Veeam replicate a physical server like a virtual machine?
No. Physical-server agent backup captures the machine for recovery, but it does not provide the same live replication model used by many virtual-machine workflows.
Where can physical-server backups be stored?
Backups can be sent to a repository managed within the Veeam environment. The right repository depends on the deployment, but the key design point is keeping backup data separate from the physical server being protected.
Can Veeam restore an entire physical server?
Yes, the agent-based approach supports bare-metal-style recovery of a physical machine. Recovery planning should include boot media, repository access, and a tested restore procedure rather than relying only on the existence of backup files.
