Hey guys a new question for you !

Do you implement Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager in your installation ? 
VEM is usefull to manage jobs across multiple Veeam backups servers, centrally manage licences or delegate restoration operations through backup portal.

But in a small infrastructure I have doubts about its usefulness, it will install additional components like IIS which are potentially vulnerable.
In Security Analyzer there is a checkbox "Password loss protection must be enabled", which means that VEM must be installed, but to be honest I never used this feature except one time since I use Veeam.

 

Hi Philippe, 

on many of our installations and customers we are running EM. Then on a seperate VM (to not open more than the required ports as needed on the VBR).
Mostly for features like your mentioned Password loss protection and/or Audit Log (which user has changed settings/jobs or logged in). Some of our customers also using it for the Restore Portal (to allow some users only to restore specific Files on some VMs) or to manage more VBRs.

cheers, Markus

 
 

 

 


I really don’t see a point these days if you don’t have multiple VBR. It used to be you’d use EM in small deployments because it was the only API but that isn’t the case anymore.


I guess the question back to you is , what is the problem/pain you have that you think EM will resolve?
