Step 1. Launch New Agent Backup Job Wizard

You can create a Veeam Agent backup job managed by the backup server for protected computers that run a Linux OS in the Veeam Backup & Replication web UI in one of the following ways:

• Create a new backup job — in this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will launch the New Agent Backup Job wizard. You will be able to specify protection groups and Veeam Agent computers to which the backup job settings must apply at the Computers step of the wizard.
• Add a protection group to a new backup job — in this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will launch the New Agent Backup Job wizard and add the selected protection group to the backup job. You will also be able to change the list of Veeam Agent computers to which the backup job settings must apply at the Computers step of the wizard.
• Add individual computers to a new backup job — in this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will launch the New Agent Backup Job wizard and add the selected computers to the backup job. You will also be able to change the list of Veeam Agent computers to which the backup job settings must apply at the Computers step of the wizard.
