Viewing Backups

To view a list of backups created by a backup job configured in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, use the following command:

veeamconfig backup list [--all]

Where --all is an option that instructs Veeam Agent to display information about all Veeam Agent for IBM AIX backups in backup repositories configured in the product. If you do not use this option, Veeam Agent will display information about backups of the current Veeam Agent machine only.

If you work with Veeam Agent connected to a Veeam backup server as a member of a protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents, for security reasons, the veeamconfig backup list --all command will display backups created only by the current Veeam Agent computer with the current connection settings. To learn more about protection groups for pre-installed Veeam Agents, see the Protection Group Types section in the Veeam Agent Management Guide.

For each backup, Veeam Agent displays the following information:

Parameter

Description

Repository

Imported backups are marked as Imported in the Repository column. For information about the import procedure, see Importing Backups.
