Launching Application
To open Veeam Explorer for MongoDB, you can use either of the following methods:
- Use the Restore MongoDB items option in Veeam Backup & Replication to load backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see Required Job Settings.
- Go to Start and click Veeam Explorer for MongoDB if you want to, for example, manage ongoing restore sessions or check the installed product version. Note that this method does not load any backups and does not allow you to start new restore sessions.
If you open Veeam Explorer for MongoDB from the Start menu on a machine that runs the Veeam Backup & Replication console and Veeam Explorers only, specify the following:
- The domain name or IP address of the backup server to which you want to connect
- The port number
- User account credentials
Consider the following:
- To perform recovery operations, the user account used to run Veeam Explorer for MongoDB must be a member of the local Administrators or Users group on the machine where Veeam Explorers Suite is installed.
- The account must have the Veeam Backup Administrator or Veeam Restore Operator role on the backup server.
To use the account under which Veeam Explorer for MongoDB is running, select Use Windows session authentication.
To save the connection shortcut to the desktop, click Save shortcut in the bottom-left corner.
