Step 5. Specify Backup Monitoring Credentials

If installing on Windows, at the Backup Monitoring step of the wizard, click Add and specify your Veeam Backup & Replication credentials to monitor the backup server. The account must have the Veeam Backup Administrator role assigned, be a member of the Performance Monitor Users and Event Log Readers security groups and have permissions to remotely access WMI. For details on adding credentials records, see Credentials Manager.

The provided credentials will be used to connect the backup server and all managed servers in the backup infrastructure:

Veeam Backup & Replication servers (if you connect Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager)
Backup proxies
Backup repositories
WAN Accelerators
Tape servers
Cloud Gateways
