Command Line Interface

Veeam Agent command line interface is a powerful tool that lets users perform advanced operations that are not supported by the Veeam Agent control panel.

To work with Veeam Agent using command line interface, you can use a terminal console (TTY) or a terminal emulator of your choice. All tasks in Veeam Agent are performed with the veeamconfig command-line utility. To perform tasks with Veeam Agent, you should construct the necessary command and type it in the Linux shell prompt.

You can view short help information on every Veeam Agent command at any time you need. To learn more, see Viewing Help.
