1 VEEAM BACKUP & REPLICATION: UNATTENDED INSTALLATION You can install Veeam Backup & Replication in the unattended mode using the command line interface. The unattended installation mode does not require user interaction; you can use it to automate the installation process in large deployments and/or install Veeam Backup & Replication on one or several machines without having to respond to the installation wizard prompts. Installation Order Veeam Backup & Replication components must be installed in a determinate order. The installation sequence depends on the type of backup server you plan to install: Veeam backup server or Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server. Veeam Backup Server If you plan to install the Veeam backup server (the server running the Veeam Backup & Replication console), you must install components in the following order: 1. Veeam Backup Catalog 2. Veeam Backup & Replication 3. Veeam Explorer for Exchange 4. Veeam Explorer for SharePoint 5. Veeam Backup Plugin for HP StoreServ (3PAR) 6. Veeam Backup Plugin for HP StoreVirtual and HP StoreVirtual VSA (P4000) 7. Veeam PowerShell Snap-in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Server If you plan to install the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server (the server running the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web console), you must install components in the following order: 1. Veeam Backup Catalog 2. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 2

2 Prerequisites Before you start the unattended installation, make sure that you have performed the following steps: 1. (For Veeam Backup server). Pre-install the following components on the target machine: a. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or higher (both Full and Express editions are supported) b. Microsoft Visual C Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package c. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 System CLR Types d. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects 2. (For Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server). Pre-install the following components on the target machine: a. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or higher (both Full and Express editions are supported) b. Microsoft Visual C Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package c. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 System CLR Types d. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects e. IIS components: Default Document Component, Directory Browsing Component, HTTP Errors Component, Static Content Component, Windows Authentication Component f. Update for Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0 (see KB at 3. Download the Veeam Backup & Replication product installation ISO file from the Veeam website. You can burn the downloaded ISO image file to a CD/DVD or mount the installation image to the target machine using disk image emulation software. 4. Check the system requirements. To learn more, see Veeam Backup & Replication product documentation. 5. Log on under the account having the Local Administrator rights on the target machine. To learn more, see Veeam Backup & Replication product documentation. 6. Obtain a license file. The license file is required for installing Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and is optional for installing Veeam Backup & Replication. If you do not specify a path to the license file during the Veeam Backup & Replication installation, free version of the product will be installed. Installation Command-Line Syntax Topics below describe command-line options for installing Veeam Backup & Replication components in the unattended mode.
