Launching Application and Exploring Backups

You can launch Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory and explore the content of a backup file in any of the following ways:

• You can use the Restore application item option to explore backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication.

For more information, see the Application Items Restore section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

• You can go to Start and click Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory to launch the application as a standalone console. Then, add Active Directory databases manually, as described in the Adding Standalone Microsoft Active Directory Databases section.

When launching from the Start menu, specify the following parameters:

• Specify the name or IP-address of a Veeam Backup & Replication server to which you want to connect.

• Specify the port number.
• Specify user credentials to connect to the server.

The account must be a member of the Local Administrator group on a target server. To use your current account, select Use Windows session authentication.

To save the connection shortcut to your desktop, click Save shortcut in the bottom-left corner.
