Launching Application

To open Veeam Explorer for MongoDB, you can use either of the following methods:

  • Use the Restore MongoDB items option in Veeam Backup & Replication to load backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see Required Job Settings.
  • Use the Start menu method to, for example, manage ongoing restore sessions or check the installed product version. Note that this method does not load any backups and does not allow you to start new restore sessions.

To launch the application, go to Start, click Veeam Explorer for MongoDB and perform the following steps:

  1. Specify the DNS name or IP address of the backup server you want to use and click Connect. To save the connection shortcut to the desktop, click Save shortcut in the bottom-right corner.

Specify Backup Server

  1. Specify the user account credentials and click Sign in to log in to the backup server. Select the Remember me check box if you do not want to enter the credentials again the next time you sign in to this backup server.

Specify Credentials

Consider the following:

  • To perform recovery operations, the user account used to run Veeam Explorer for MongoDB must be a member of the local Administrators or Users group on the machine where Veeam Explorers Suite is installed.
  • The account must have the Veeam Backup Administrator or Veeam Restore Operator role on the backup server.
