Step 3. Specify Packages

At the Package step of the wizard, specify what setup files you want to obtain to deploy Veeam Agents. Veeam Backup & Replication will export the specified setup files to the specified folder. Then, you must use these setup files to deploy Veeam Agents on computers you plan to protect. To learn more, see Deploying Veeam Agents Using Generated Setup Files.

To specify setup files to export:

1. In the Export path field, click Browse.

3. In the Agent installation packages to export field, select setup files depending on the type of the OS that runs on computers you plan to add to the protection group.

2. If you plan to protect Mac computers, select the Apple Mac package with the device profile option.
3. If you plan to protect Unix computers, expand the Unix Packages option and select packages for specific Unix distributions.

If you select the Unix Packages option, Veeam Backup & Replication will export setup files for all Unix distributions supported by Veeam Agent for IBM AIX and Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris.

4. If you plan to protect Linux computers, expand the Linux packages for supported distributions option and select options depending on the distributions you need.

If you select the Linux packages for supported distributions option, Veeam Backup & Replication will export setup files for all Linux distributions supported by Veeam Agent for Linux.
