Purpose
This article documents methods to back up the Veeam ONE SQL database.
This is useful when you have to do a backup before an upgrade or if you have been asked to provide a backup of Veeam ONE database to Veeam Support for further in-depth analysis.
Solution
Identify the Location of the Veeam ONE Database
- If Veeam ONE is installed, open the Veeam ONE Settings Utility to view the current SQL Server settings.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Veeam\Veeam ONE Settings\VeeamOneSettings.exe
- Alternatively, check the following registry values in the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam ONE- DatabaseServer
- DatabaseName
Back Up Local Veeam ONE Database
If the Veeam ONE database is located in a SQL Instance on the same server as the Veeam ONE software, use the Create Backup button within the Veeam ONE Settings Utility.
Back-Up Remote Veeam ONE Database
If the Veeam ONE database is located in a SQL Instance on a remote SQL Server, a backup must be created using either SQL Server Management Studio or SQLCMD on that remote SQL Server.
Note: These methods can also be used with local Veeam ONE databases; it's simply easier to create a backup using the Veeam ONE Setting Utility when possible.
Option 1: Using SQL Server Management Studio
- Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with administrator permissions.
- Connect to the ServerName\Instance of the server with the DB you want to back up.
- Expand the Databases tab to get to the DB you want to back up.
- Right-click the desired DB > Tasks > Back Up.
- Set Backup Type to Full
- Specify the database file destination by choosing the Back up to Disk option > Add the destination path to save the database backup.
- Go to Backup Options and set Set backup compression to Compress backup to reduce the database file size (the option is not mandatory).
- Click OK to start the Backup process.
Option 2: Using SQL command line
- On the SQL Server where the Veeam ONE Database is located, open an Administrative Command Prompt
- Modify the variables in the following command, then run it to create a backup file:
sqlcmd -S SqlServerName\SqlInstanceName -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseName] TO DISK=N'C:\backups\VeeamONEDB.bak'"sqlcmd -U Username -S SqlServerName\SqlInstanceName -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseName] TO DISK=N'C:\backups\VeeamONEDB.bak'"If this KB article did not resolve your issue or you need further assistance with Veeam software, please create a Veeam Support Case.
