In case of distributed backup infrastructure when a number of Veeam Backup & Replication instances are installed on different servers, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager acts as a single management point, allowing you to perform backup and replication jobs across the entire backup infrastructure, and providing enhanced reporting options.
With Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, you can:
- Manage jobs across a number of Veeam backup servers
- View on-going reporting data for all jobs
- Receive e-mail notifications about the status of all jobs
- Search for VMs and Windows guest files in current and archived backups
- Perform web-based recovery operations
- Install Veeam plug-in for vSphere web client to vCenter server(s)
- Centrally monitor license usage and update them
The distributed architecture of Veeam Backup & Replication provides you with a possibility to create a custom backup infrastructure meeting your company needs and manage backup and replication according to your administrative, business and security requirements and restrictions. While Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager provides centralized backup and reporting options, Veeam Backup & Replication servers still make it possible to perform decentralized backup and recovery. For example, Exchange recoveries can be handled by the Exchange administrators group, while SQL server recovery requires another skill set, and is best performed by database administrators.
