  Alternatively, you can use the **Command-N** shortcut on the keyboard.

- In the **Veeam Agent for Mac** control panel, click **Add New Job**.

  If you haven't created any backup jobs yet, the control panel will display the **Add New Job** link in the center of the window:

  If you already have configured backup jobs in Veeam Agent, the **Add New Job** link is displayed at the bottom of the **Backup Jobs** panel.
