Restoring from Veeam Backup Repository

1. Power on your computer. Make sure that the USB drive is set as the primary boot source.

2. Insert the bootable USB drive with the Veeam Recovery Media into a USB slot on the computer.

8. At the Backup Server step of the wizard, in the Veeam backup server name or IP address and Port fields, specify a DNS name or IP address of the Veeam backup server that manages the backup repository, and a port number. By default, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses port 10005.

Select an authentication method and do one of the following:

• If you selected Credentials, in the Username and Password fields, enter a user name and password of the account that has access to the backup repository.
• If you selected Recovery token, in the Token field, enter the recovery token created on the Veeam Backup & Replication side.

To learn more about the authentication methods, see Backup Server Settings.

9. Click Next, then click Continue to accept the Veeam backup server certificate and connect to the backup server.
