Step 5. Install Veeam Data Collector for Veeam Backup & Replication

To collect data for monitoring and reporting on the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, you must install the Veeam Data Collector for Veeam Backup & Replication component on each machine where Veeam Backup & Replication server version 13 is installed. To do that:

1. Log in to the machine where you want to install the Collector component using the account with the local Administrator rights.
2. Mount the installation image.
3. On the splash screen, click Install.
4. Complete the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center wizard:
   1. At the License Agreement step, read and accept the Veeam license agreement, the licensing policy, the 3rd party components license agreement and the license agreement of the required software.

      If you reject the agreements, you will not be able to continue installation.

   2. At the Program Features step, make sure that the Veeam Data Collector for Veeam Backup & Replication check box is selected.
   3. At the Data Collector Service Account step, enter credentials of an account under which the Collector services will run. The account must be a member of the local Administrators group. The user name must be specified in the DOMAIN\USERNAME format.

      For more information on accounts and privileges, see the Veeam MP for VMware User Guides, section Required Permissions.

   4. At the Ready to Install step, review the default installation configuration. Click Install to begin installation.
