# Overview

Veeam Agent for Mac is a data protection and disaster recovery solution for physical endpoints and virtual machines running macOS.

Veeam Agent can be used by IT administrators to protect macOS-based desktops and laptops.

Veeam Agent offers a variety of features to protect your data. You can back up all user profiles data or individual files and folders. Backups can be stored on a local hard drive, on an external hard drive, in a network shared folder, in an object storage repository, in a Veeam backup repository or Veeam Cloud Connect repository.

In case of a disaster, you can restore individual files and folders from backups to their original location or a new location.

Veeam Agent for Mac integrates with Veeam Backup & Replication. Backup administrators who work with Veeam Backup & Replication can perform tasks with Veeam Agent backups: configure backup policies, manage backups created with backup policies, restore files and folders from backups.
