I am trying to figure out how to use Veeam Community edition from the DOS commandline. The application mentioned in https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforlinux/userguide/backup_job_start_cmd.html?ver=60, so veeamconfig job start --name <job_name>, is however absent on my system.
Is this a Community edition limitation?

Yes, sorry, it should be "Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe" but that application is also absent.
It is part of the Agent, not of Backup & Replication it seems.
I run backup jobs on a Backup & Replication server which I connect to external servers to backup, so I’d like to run everything on my local server.
Should I install the agent on the Backup & Replication server for this?
Ok, so everything is just a bit confusing here. If you installed VBR Community Edition, there is no command line, well except for Powershell cmdlets. You use the Veeam Console to start backing up devices. With Community Edition, you have 10 free “instances” you can backup, beit VMs or physical devices. If you don’t want to use VBR to backup physical devices...that is fine..and it sounds like you don’t. You just need to install the Veeam Agent. If you want to backup Linux, Install Veeam Agent for Linux. For Windows, Veeam Agent for Windows. Does that help?

Yes, I installed VBR and not the agent on the Windows 2022 server.
I guess I need to install an agent on this system as well?
The link you referenced in your OP is the Agent not VBR so yes. You can deploy the Agent from the VBR console or install it.

I run Backup & Replication on a Windows 2022 Standard server.
So you are running the Community Edition of VBR and not the Agent? Or the Agent? Just need clarity to hopefully help further.

Are you using Agent for Windows or Linux? That will help with determining file locations, but the command files mentioned should be installed even with CE edition.

The veeamconfig command is for Agent for Linux. You have installed the Agent, correct? I assume you're typing that cmd on your Linux computer? Try typing just veeam instead.
