I’m using Veeam for backing up my virtual machines and I’m looking for a way to automate the backup process for multiple VMs at once. Can anyone guide me on how to set up automated backups for multiple VMs using Veeam, or point me to resources or best practices?

I am not quite sure if I get your question correct.
You mean how to backup multiple VMs automatically each day or similar?
Create a backup job, include your VMs in it and set a schedule in the job.
