# Restore from Another Veeam Backup Server

You can use Veeam Agent to restore data from backups located in a repository managed by another Veeam backup server. To do this, you must connect to the second backup server in read-only mode. This will allow you to view backups stored in its repositories and restore data from them.

## Before You Begin

Consider the following about adding and managing a Veeam backup server in read-only mode:

- You can add only one Veeam backup server in read-only mode.
- If you add the same Veeam backup server in read-only mode, you must add it under a different name.
- You cannot use the read-only backup server as a target for backups of the Veeam Agent computer.
- To view backups of other IBM AIX-based machines from Veeam Agent computer, you must use the veeamconfig backup list command with the `--all` option.
