# Step 1. Launch Backup Job Wizard

To launch the **Backup Job** wizard, do the following:

1. Launch the Veeam Agent control panel with the `veeam` or `veeamconfig ui` command.

   If you have not configured any backup jobs yet, Veeam Agent will display a welcome screen.

   If you have already configured and performed a backup job, Veeam Agent will display the list of the backup job sessions.

2. Press the [C] key. Veeam Agent will display the list of configured backup jobs. 
3. To configure a new backup job, select **Configure** **new job** and press [Enter].

   To edit settings of an existing backup job, select the necessary backup job and press [Enter]. To learn more, see [Editing Backup Job Settings](backup_job_edit.md).
