On the Veeam Agent computer side, you can perform the following operations:
- View information about Veeam Agent.
- Create Veeam Recovery Media.
- View backup job details.
- Start backup job.
- Start active full backup.
- Stop backup job.
- View session statistics.
- Perform restore.

TIP |
You can also change the operation mode of Veeam Agent. For more information, see Manage Operation Mode. |
You can create a recovery media for the protected Unix computer. The procedure of creating Veeam Recovery Media for Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode does not differ from the same procedure for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on creating Veeam Recovery Media in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Creating Custom Veeam Recovery Media section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on creating Veeam Recovery Media in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Creating Custom Veeam Recovery Media section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
You can view the settings of backup jobs managed by Veeam Agent. This process does not differ from the one for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on viewing backup job settings in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see Viewing Backup Job Settings in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on viewing backup job settings in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see Viewing Backup Job Settings in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
On the Veeam Agent computer side, you can start a backup job managed by Veeam Agent from the Veeam Agent control panel or using the command line interface. This process does not differ from the one for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on starting a backup job in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see Starting Backup Job from Control Panel and Starting Backup Job in Command Line Interface in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on starting a backup job in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see Starting Backup Job from Control Panel and Starting Backup Job in Command Line Interface in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
On the Veeam Agent computer side, you can create ad-hoc active full backups. You can start a backup job that will create an active full backup either from the Veeam Agent control panel or using the command line interface. The procedure of creating an active full backup does not differ from the same procedure for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on creating active full backups in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see Starting Backup Job from Control Panel and Creating Active Full Backups in Command Line Interface in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on creating active full backups in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see Starting Backup Job from Control Panel and Creating Active Full Backups in Command Line Interface in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
On the Veeam Agent computer side, you can stop any running backup job from the Veeam Agent control panel or using the command line interface. This process does not differ from the one for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on stopping a backup job in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see Stopping Backup Job in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on stopping a backup job in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see Stopping Backup Job in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
Viewing Session Progress, Statistics and Results
On the Veeam Agent computer side, you can view the statistics of the completed backup job and restore sessions from the Veeam Agent control panel or using the command line interface. You can also view the progress and statistics of a running session in real-time. The options of viewing session statistics do not differ from the same options for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on viewing session statistics in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Reporting section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on viewing session statistics in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Reporting section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
The restore options for Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode do not differ from the same options for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode. You can perform restore in the following ways:
- You can perform restore from Veeam Recovery Media.
For more information on performing restore from Veeam Recovery Media in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Performing Bare Metal Recovery section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on performing restore from Veeam Recovery Media in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Performing Bare Metal Recovery section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
- You can restore individual files and folders.
For more information on file-level restore in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Restoring Files and Directories section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on file-level restore in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Restoring Files and Directories section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
- You can perform restore from an encrypted backup.
For more information on restoring from encrypted backups in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Restoring Data from Encrypted Backups section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on restoring from encrypted backups in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Restoring Data from Encrypted Backups section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
You can manage the operation mode of Veeam Agent. This process does not differ from the one for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information managing operation mod in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Managing Veeam Agent Operation Mode section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information managing operation mod in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Managing Veeam Agent Operation Mode section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
This operation may be required if you want to report an issue and need to attach log files to the support case. The procedure of exporting product logs does not differ from the one for Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode.
For more information on exporting logs in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX, see the Exporting Product Logs section in the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX User Guide.
For more information on exporting logs in Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris, see the Exporting Product Logs section in the Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris User Guide.
