Importing Configuration Database

Important

This functionality is not fully available in Veeam Agent version 2.1. You can import only configuration files generated by Veeam Backup & Replication. You must import the configuration file generated by Veeam Backup & Replication, if Veeam Agent is managed by Veeam Backup & Replication as a member of a protection group for pre-installed Veeam Agents. For more information on importing configuration using the product UI, see Importing Configuration from Veeam Backup Server.

You import the Veeam Agent configuration from a file in the XML format to the configuration database. This may be useful, for example, if you have changed Veeam Agent for Mac settings by editing a configuration file or want to apply configuration of another instance of Veeam Agent to Veeam Agent installed on your computer.

You can import a Veeam Agent configuration in ether of the following ways:

Importing Configuration with Control Panel

From the Veeam Agent application menu, select Settings > Import Configuration; in the Finder, select the configuration file to import.

Importing Configuration with Command Line Interface 

Importing Configuration with Status Bar Menu

From the Veeam Agent status bar menu, select Import > Configuration; in the Finder, select the configuration file to import.

Importing Configuration with Command Line Interface 

Importing Configuration in Command Line Interface

To import the Veeam Agent configuration database in command line interface, use the following command:

veeamconfig config import --file <path>

where:

<path> — path to a configuration file to which you want to import configuration.

For example:

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig config import --file veeam/config.xml
