# Managing Backup Job Restrictions


In the Veeam Agent command line interface, you can view, enable and disable backup job restrictions. For information on how backup job restrictions work, see [Backup Job Restrictions](backup_job_restrictions.md).

## Viewing Backup Job Restrictions

To view information on backup job restrictions set in Veeam Agent on the protected Mac computer, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig settings show
```

## Enabling Personal Hotspot and Low Data Mode Detection

To enable detection of an internet connection via a personal hotspot or Wi-Fi network with enabled low data mode, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig settings set <restriction options>
```

where \<restriction options\> are the options for setting specific restrictions. You can use the following options, combined or independently:

- `--restrictLdm` — use this option to enable low data mode detection.
- `--restrictHotspot` — use this option to enable personal hotspot detection.

For example:

```
veeamconfig settings set --restricthotspot
```

## Disabling Personal Hotspot and Low Data Mode Detection

To disable detection of an internet connection via a personal hotspot or Wi-Fi network with enabled low data mode, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig settings reset <restriction options>
```

where \<restriction options\> are the options for disabling specific restrictions. You can use the following options, combined or independently:

- `--restrictLdm` — use this option to disable low data mode detection.
- `--restrictHotspot` — use this option to disable personal hotspot detection.

For example:

```
veeamconfig settings reset --restricthotspot
```
