Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is a data protection platform for backup, replication and recovery of virtual, physical and cloud workloads, managed from one console.
About Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.1
Veeam Backup & Replication is a data protection and disaster recovery platform used by IT teams to back up, replicate and restore virtual, physical and cloud workloads from a single management console. It supports hypervisors such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Proxmox VE, and it protects physical servers and workstations through Veeam Agents.
Version 13 can be deployed two ways: on Windows using the installer ISO, or as the pre-built Veeam Software Appliance (OVA), a Linux-based appliance you import into your hypervisor. This page collects the 13.1.1 build files so you can pick the deployment that matches your environment. For product details, see Veeam’s official Help Center documentation.
How Veeam Backup & Replication Works
The backup server is the central point of control. It stores job settings and schedules, and it coordinates the other components. Backup proxies read and process data from your workloads, and backup repositories store the resulting backup files. A typical job reads a VM, compresses and deduplicates the data, and writes restore points to a repository, so you can recover from many different points in time.
| Component | Role |
|---|---|
| Backup server | Manages jobs, schedules, infrastructure and the configuration database |
| Backup proxy | Processes backup data and moves it between the source and the repository |
| Backup repository | Stores backup files and restore points (local disk, NAS, object storage) |
| Agents | Protect physical servers and workstations on Windows and Mac |
Common Use Cases
VM and server backup
Scheduled, application-aware backups of virtual machines and physical servers.
Disaster recovery
Replicate workloads to a second site and fail over when the primary site goes down.
Ransomware resilience
Keep immutable copies so attackers cannot delete or encrypt your recovery points.
Veeam follows the widely used 3-2-1 backup rule: keep three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy offsite. Many teams add one immutable or offline copy and verify restores regularly to avoid recovery surprises.
Windows ISO or Software Appliance: Which One to Choose?
| Windows ISO | Software Appliance (OVA) | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on | Windows Server you manage | Pre-built Linux appliance on your hypervisor |
| Best for | Existing Windows-based environments | Fast, preconfigured deployments |
| Setup | Install Windows, then run the setup wizard | Import the OVA and power it on |
| Download size | 14.39 GB | 15.37 GB |
Key Features
Image-Level Backup
Back up VMs and physical servers with incremental, application-aware processing.
Instant Recovery
Start a failed workload directly from backup to cut downtime while you restore.
Replication & Failover
Keep standby VM replicas and fail over during an outage.
Hardened Repositories
Immutable backups help protect recovery points from ransomware.
Software Appliance
A ready-to-deploy Linux-based appliance, delivered as an OVA.
Proxmox VE Plugin
Protect Proxmox VE workloads with the PVE integration plugin.

System Requirements
| Component | Typical lab / small-site guidance |
|---|---|
| CPU | 4 or more cores (x64) |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM minimum; add more as concurrent jobs increase |
| Disk | Space for the installer plus separate backup repository storage |
| Operating system | Windows Server for the ISO install; hypervisor to import the OVA appliance |
| Network | Connectivity to your hypervisors, repositories and DNS |
Sizing varies by environment. Confirm exact supported platforms in the official system requirements before production use.
Installation Guide
- Download the ISO (Windows) or the OVA (appliance) and confirm the file size matches the table above.
- For Windows: mount the ISO, run the setup and follow the wizard. For the appliance: import the OVA into your hypervisor and power it on.
- Add your hypervisor, create a backup repository and run your first job.
- Install the Windows, Mac or Proxmox components only where you need them.
