Client-Server Model

In this article

    REST API relies on the client-server model:

    1. The client makes requests to the server, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, over the HTTP protocol.
    2. The server processes the request and returns either a successful operation status or error. In case of success, the server returns a response in the form of an XML document.
    3. The client accepts the response, parses it and retrieves the information it needs from the response.
