Using vSphere Self-Service Backup Portal

vSphere Self-Service Backup Portal is a tool for VMware vSphere users that facilitates operations with delegated VM protection, including VM restore and files restore. These operations do not require access to the Veeam Backup & Replication console. For backup and restore operations, tenants access vSphere Self-Service Backup Portal.

1. Connect to the following URL:

https://<EnterpriseManagerServer>:9443/backup

For example:

2. In the Username and Password fields, specify credentials of the domain user for which the administrator created a vSphere Self-Service Backup Portal tenant account. The user name must be provided in the DOMAIN\Username format.
3. [Optional] Select the Remember me check box to save the user name for future access.
4. Click Login.
