# Solution Architecture

Veeam Agent for Mac is set up on a macOS physical computer or virtual machine whose data you want to protect.

When you install the product, Veeam Agent deploys the following components:

- *Veeam Agent for Mac Service (veeamservice)* is a service responsible for managing all tasks and resources in Veeam Agent. The *veeamservice* component is registered as a daemon in the macOS upon the product installation. The service is started automatically when you start the OS and runs in the background.
- *Veeam Agent for Mac Job Manager (veeamjobman)* is a process started by *Veeam Agent for Mac Service* for every backup job session.
- *Veeam Agent* that communicates with the *Veeam Agent for Mac Service* and *Veeam Agent for Mac Job Manager.* *Veeam Agent* is started by *Veeam Agent for Mac Manager* to perform data transfer operations of any kind: copy data from the backed-up volume to the backup location during backup, from the backup location to the target volume during restore, perform data compression, and so on.
- *Veeam Agent for Mac Installer (veeaminstaller)* is a component responsible for Veeam Agent uninstallation process. To learn more, see [Uninstalling Veeam Agent](uninstallation_process.md).
- *Veeam Agent for Mac GUI Application* is a component responsible for the Veeam Agent control panel, status bar and tray menus, as well as **Backup Job** and **Import** wizards.
- To store its configuration data, Veeam Agent uses the SQLite database engine. SQLite requires only few files to install and takes little resources to run on a macOS.
