Accessing Web UI from Workstation

To access Veeam Backup for AWS, in a web browser, navigate to the Veeam Backup for AWS web address. The address consists of a public IPv4 address or DNS hostname of the backup appliance. Note that the website is available over HTTPS only.

Important

If the backup appliance is deployed without a public IP address, you must establish a connection between the VPC of the appliance and your on-premises network to access Veeam Backup for AWS. For more information, see Configuring Access to Backup Appliances in AWS.

Internet Explorer is not supported. To access Veeam Backup for AWS, use Microsoft Edge (latest version), Mozilla Firefox (latest version) or Google Chrome (latest version).

You can access Veeam Backup for AWS using a local user account or a user account of an external identity provider. To learn how to add user accounts to Veeam Backup for AWS, see Adding User Accounts.

Note

The web browser may display a warning notifying that the connection is untrusted. To eliminate the warning, you can replace the TLS certificate that is currently used to secure traffic between the browser and the backup appliance with a trusted TLS certificate. To learn how to replace certificates, see Replacing Security Certificates.
