We are getting an application that runs on MySQL and I need to know if & how Veeam can backup MySQL. So far I’ve found documentation on how to do this in Linux but not Windows. Im running VBR 12.3

It does not appear that you can on Windows as per this forum thread - Support for application aware backup of MySQL/Postgresql on Windows?

There is some scripts there in that post (link) that might help.

I’m also seeing that is will only be consistent if the MySQL server is on Linux. For your application, if it must run on Windows, you’ll want to have a separate, dedicated Linux server for the database.

You can dump the MySQL DB onto a separate disk and then run the Veeam backup. Alternatively, before launching the Veeam backup, you can insert a pre/post script into the job that stops the database and restarts it at the end of the backup.
