Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is a Web-based management and reporting application that comes with Veeam Backup & Replication (included only in the Enterprise edition). It allows management of multiple instances of Veeam Backup & Replication from a single console. It is also required to delegate restoration permission and to approve application restoration (AD, Exchange and SQL).

The installation file (Veeam_Backup_Enterprise_Manager_Setup_*.exe) is in the same archive of Veeam Backup & Replication. It can be installed on a new Windows machine or in the same machine of the Backup component.
