Working with vCloud Director VMs via Self-Service Backup Portal

Veeam offers a web-based portal for vCloud Director Organization administrators. It facilitates self-service operations for vCloud Director VMs protection, including:

vCloud Director backup job configuration and management
VM restore to the original location (preserving or overwriting the production VM)
vApp restore to original location (preserving or overwriting the production vApp)
File-level restore
Application item restore (currently, for SQL Server and Oracle databases)

Working with vCloud Director VMs via Self-Service Backup Portal Important!

Consider the following:

To manage vCloud Director organization objects (VMs, vApps), users must have an Organization Administrator role assigned in a VMware vCloud Director system. Roles with equal rights but not determined as an organization administrator will fail the authorization. Contact your vCloud Director system administrator to assign an Organization Administrator role to your user.

Veeam leverages the native vCloud Director authentication technology to authenticate users who log in to Enterprise Manager. So, to log in to the web portal, vCloud Director organization administrators will need their vCloud Director credentials.

SAML Authorization is not supported for this self-service web portal.

To access the portal, connect to the following URL using vCloud Director organization administrator credentials:

https://<EnterpriseManagerServer>:9443/vcloud/<OrgName>

Then you can perform the following operations:

On the Dashboard tab - view statistics on vCloud Director backups

On the Jobs tab – examine and export job sessions data, search for jobs, create new jobs, edit jobs, and so on
