  • Veeam AWS Service (VeeamAWSSvc) enables interaction between Veeam Backup & Replication and AWS infrastructure.
  • Veeam Azure Service (VeeamAzureSvc) enables interaction between Veeam Backup & Replication and Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
  • Veeam Backup Server RESTful API Service (VeeamBackupRESTSvc) provides access to Veeam Backup & Replication by using the web API. For more information, see the REST API Reference.
  • Veeam Backup Service (VeeamBackupSvc) is a Microsoft Windows service that coordinates all operations performed by Veeam Backup & Replication such as backup, replication, recovery verification and restore tasks. This service runs on the backup server.

  • Veeam Backup VSS Integration Service (VeeamFilesysVssSvc) manages Microsoft VSS snapshots used for NAS, file share and Veeam Agent backups.
  • Veeam Broker Service (VeeamBrokerSvc) interacts with the virtual infrastructure to collect and cache the virtual infrastructure topology. Jobs and tasks query information about the virtual infrastructure topology from the broker service, which accelerates job and task performance.
  • Veeam CDP Coordinator Service (VeeamBackupCdpSvc) communicates with VMware vCenter, assigns continuous data protection (CDP) tasks and manages the infrastructure components involved in CDP. For more information on CDP, see Continuous Data Protection (CDP).
  • Veeam CDP Proxy Service (VeeamCdpProxySvc) sends and receives virtual machine data during CDP.
  • Veeam Cloud Connect Service (VeeamCloudSvc) provides transparent connection to cloud resources over the secure SSL/TLS channel.
  • Veeam Cloud Gateway Service (VeeamGateSvc) manages data exchange with Veeam Cloud Connect users. For more information on Veeam Cloud Connect, see the Veeam Cloud Connect Guide.
  • Veeam Data Analyzer Service (VeeamDataAnalyzerSvc) analyzes the malware detection metadata for potential threats.
  • Veeam Data Mover Service (VeeamTransportSvc) sends and receives protected data during backup, replication and restore processes.
  • Veeam Distribution Service (VeeamDistributionSvc) distributes the Veeam Agent setup packages to the protected computers. For more information, see the Veeam Agent Management Guide.
  • Veeam Deployment Service (VeeamMBPDeploymentService) enables installing, updating and configuring Veeam Service Provider Console components.
  • Veeam Explorers Recovery Service (VeeamExplorersRecoverySvc) executes data recovery workflows on behalf of some Veeam Explorers. This service runs on the mount server associated with the backup repository. For more details on which Explorers use this service and how they use it, see the Veeam Explorers User Guide.
  • Veeam GCP Service (VeeamGCPSvc) enables interaction between Veeam Backup & Replication and Google Cloud infrastructure.
  • Veeam Guest Agent (VeeamGuestHelper) performs application-aware processing, file system indexing and enables guest OS file restore to the original location.
  • Veeam Guest Catalog Service (VeeamCatalogSvc) manages guest OS file system indexing for VMs and replicates system index data files to enable search through guest OS files. Index data is stored in the Veeam Backup Catalog — a folder on the backup server. The Veeam Guest Catalog Service running on the backup server works in conjunction with search components installed on Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and (optionally) a dedicated Microsoft Search Server.
  • Veeam Installer Service (VeeamDeploySvc) installs, updates or removes Veeam services when you add, update or remove backup infrastructure components. For more details, see Veeam Installer Service.
  • Veeam Kubernetes Service (VeeamKastenSvc) enables integration between Veeam Backup & Replication and Kubernetes Infrastructure via Kasten K10.
  • Veeam KVM Service (VeeamRHVSvc) enables interaction between Veeam Backup & Replication and oVirt KVM infrastructure.
  • Veeam Log Shipping Service (VeeamLogShipper) copies Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL transaction logs to the backup repository. In addition, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server uses this service to restore transaction logs if the administrative share (for example, \\myserver\ADMIN$) is unavailable.
  • Veeam Management Agent Service (VeeamManagementAgentSvc) collects data from Veeam products discovered on the machine.
  • Veeam Mount Service (VeeamMountSvc) mounts backups and replicas for file-level access, browsing the VM guest file system and restoring VM guest OS files and application items to the original location.
  • Veeam ONE Agent (VeeamOneAgentSvc) enables remediation actions and communication between Veeam ONE and monitored Veeam Backup & Replication servers.
  • Veeam Oracle Restore Service (Veeam.Oracle.Service) enables item-level recovery of Oracle data for Windows machines. This runtime component is deployed on the target machine or staging server.
  • Veeam PVE Service (VeeamPVESvc) enables interaction between Veeam Backup & Replication and Proxmox Virtual Environment.
  • Veeam SQL Agent Service (Veeam.SQL.Agent.Service) enables item-level recovery of Microsoft SQL Server data. This persistent component is deployed on the target machine or staging server if the administrative share (for example, \\myserver\ADMIN$) is unavailable. For more information, see the How Data Recovery Works section of the Veeam Explorers User Guide.
  • Veeam SQL Restore Service (Veeam.SQL.Service) enables item-level recovery of Microsoft SQL Server data. This runtime component is deployed on the target machine or staging server if the administrative share (for example, \\myserver\ADMIN$) is available. For more information, see the How Data Recovery Works section of the Veeam Explorers User Guide.
  • Veeam vPower NFS Service (VeeamNFSSvc) implements vPower NFS server that enables running virtual machines directly from backup files.
  • Veeam Tape Access Service (VeeamTapeSvc) provides access to tape devices connected to this tape server for Veeam Backup & Replication tape jobs.
