Viewing Restore Points in Backup
You can view information about restore points in the backup. You can also list files contained in a restore point.
Viewing Information About Restore Points
To view information about restore points in the backup, you can use one of the following commands:
- <backup_id> — ID of the backup whose restore points you want to view.
- --all — instructs Veeam Agent to display information about the restore points in the backup that was created by Veeam Agent for IBM AIX on another machine.
Veeam Agent for IBM AIX displays the following information about restore points in the backup:
Parameter | Description |

Listing Files in Restore Point
To view the list of files in a restore point, run the following command:
where <point_id> is the ID of the restore point whose files you want to list.
Tip |
If the restore point contains a large number of files, you may want to send the output of the veeamconfig point files command to a file. To do this, specify the path to the output file — for example, veeamconfig point files --id 9cc7eded-0792-4a49-ac29-cf02d40b1a7d > /tmp/files.list. |
