Creating Recovery Token

If you want to recover volumes or an entire computer protected with Veeam Agent, you can use the Create recovery token operation.

You can generate the recovery token on the Veeam Backup & Replication side. Then, on the computer side, with this recovery token get access to the backup and recover data that are stored in the backup. To learn more, see Veeam Backup Repository Settings.

Considerations and Limitations

Before creating a recovery token, consider the following prerequisites and limitations:

To create a recovery token on the Veeam Backup & Replication side:

You can create a recovery token for several backups. To do this, press and hold [Ctrl], select multiple backups, right-click one of the selected backups and select Create recovery token.
