Launching Application and Exploring Backups

To open Veeam Explorer for Oracle, you can use any of the following methods:

Use the Restore application item option to load Oracle data from a restore point created by Veeam Backup & Replication.

For more information, see the Application Item Restore section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Use the Restore from Oracle RMAN backup option to load backups created by Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN.

For more information, see the Restore with Veeam Explorer for Oracle section of the Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications guide.

Go to Start and click Veeam Explorer for Oracle if you want to, for example, manage ongoing instant recovery sessions or check the installed product version. Note that this method does not load any Oracle data and does not allow you to start new data recovery sessions.

If you open Veeam Explorer for Oracle 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 Oracle 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 Oracle is running, select Use Windows session authentication.

To save the connection shortcut to the desktop, click Save shortcut in the bottom-left corner.
