# Connecting Veeam Backup & Replication Servers

To collect data about your backup infrastructure and data protection operations, you must configure connections to Veeam Backup & Replication servers in Veeam ONE Web Client. You can connect the following types of servers:

- Veeam Backup & Replication server to monitor standalone backup servers
- Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to monitor all backup servers federated under Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager

::: note

- Before you connect a Veeam Backup & Replication server to Veeam ONE check that product licenses are compatible. For details on license compatibility, see [Compatibility with Veeam Backup & Replication Licenses](license_types.md#compatibility).
- To install the Veeam Analytics Service package on Veeam Software Appliance, you must enable remote data collection in the Host Management Interface. For more information, see section [Enabling Remote Data Collection](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/hmc_configure_infrastructure.html?ver=13#enabling-remote-data-collection) of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Veeam Backup & Replication servers can optionally be added to Veeam ONE through manual installation of Veeam Analytics service. For details on manual installation of Veeam Analytics service, see [Veeam Analytics Service](veeam_analytics_service.md#manual_installagent).
