If you work with Veeam Agent using the Veeam Agent control panel, configure application-specific settings at the Advanced step of the Backup Job wizard. To learn more, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.
If you work with Veeam Agent using the command line interface, create the backup job, then specify application-specific settings for this job. To learn more, see Creating Volume-Level Backup Job and Configuring Database Processing Settings.
