Connecting to Veeam Backup Server in Read-Only Mode
You can use Veeam Agent to restore data from backups located in a repository managed by another Veeam backup server. To do this, you must connect Veeam Agent to the second backup server in read-only mode. For more information, see Restore from Another Veeam Backup Server.
To connect a Veeam Agent computer to another Veeam backup server in read-only mode, use the following command:
veeamconfig vbrserver add --name <vbr_name> --address <vbr_address> [--port <vbr_port>] --login <username> [--domain <domain>] [--password <password>] --readonly |
where:
- <vbr_name> — name of the Veeam backup server to which you want to connect.
- <vbr_address> — IP address of the Veeam backup server.
- <vbr_port> — port over which Veeam Agent must communicate with Veeam Backup & Replication. The default port used for communication with the Veeam backup server is 10006.
- <username> — a user name of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.
You can specify a user name in the username or username@domain format. In the latter case, you do not need to specify a domain as a value of the --domain option.
Note |
You cannot provide a user name in the domain\username format. |
- <domain> — a name of the domain in which the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository is registered.

To authenticate to a Linux-based Veeam backup server (Veeam Software Appliance), you must use a local user account. We recommend specifying credentials for a local user account with the Service Account role. To learn more about available local user roles, see the Configuring Users section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. You cannot use domain accounts because Kerberos authentication is not supported in Veeam Agent, and Veeam Software Appliance does not support NTLM authentication.
|
- <password> — password of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository. If you do not specify a password as a value of the --password option, Veeam Agent will prompt you to enter the password when you run the veeamconfig vbrserver add command.
Permissions on the backup repository managed by the target Veeam backup server must be granted beforehand. To learn more, see Setting Up User Permissions on Backup Repositories.
For example:
user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig vbrserver add --name vbr02 --address 172.17.53.1 --port 10006 --login veeamuser --domain tech --readonly |
