Veeam: Move Backup job to a brand new Veeam Backup server


In this post I will show you how to move a Veeam Backup job to a new Veeam Backup server. You can also use this procedure to move the Backup files to a new drive and map the backup files to an existing backup job.

The short version of this procedure is:

  1. Move the backup files to the new Veeam Backup server.
  2. Create a new Backup repository and Import the existing Backup jobs.

Now you’re good to go. Just restart the setup wizard and install version 6.1 and have fun.
