Deploying Management Agents

To manage and monitor Veeam backup agents, Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 in client and hosted infrastructures, you must install Veeam Service Provider Console management agents on machines where managed Veeam products are deployed and configure these agents to communicate with Veeam Service Provider Console. You can install management agents on Windows, Linux and macOS machines.
