# Veeam Backup Repository Settings

The **Specify Backup Server parameters** step of the wizard is available if you have selected to restore data from a backup repository managed by the Veeam backup server.

Specify settings for the Veeam backup server that manages the backup repository where the backup file resides:

1. In the **Address** field, specify a DNS name or IP address of the Veeam backup server.
2. In the **Port** field, specify a number of the port over which Veeam Agent must communicate with the backup repository. By default, Veeam Agent uses port 10006.
3. Select the type of **Authentication** to access the Veeam backup server:

   - **Login and password**. With this option selected, specify the following settings:

     1. In the **Login** field, type a name of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.
     2. In the **Domain** field, type a name of the domain in which the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository is registered, for example: *DOMAIN*.
     3. In the **Password** field, type a password of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.

     ::: note

     If you want to perform restore from a backup created by Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode, you must use an account that has the Veeam Backup Administrator or Veeam Restore Operator role on the Veeam backup server. For more information about user roles, see the [Users and Roles](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/users_roles.html?ver=120) section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

For more information on generating recovery tokens, see [Creating Recovery Token](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/agents/agent_backup_recovery_token.html?ver=120) in the Veeam Agent Management guide.
