Veeam Backup PowerShell Module is an extension for Microsoft Windows PowerShell that adds a set of cmdlets to allow users to perform backup, replication and recovery tasks through the command-line interface of PowerShell or run custom scripts to fully automate operation of Veeam Backup & Replication.Veeam Backup & Replication Console provides the application user interface and allows user access to the application's functionality.For details, see the Job.DatabaseMaintenance log file in the %ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup folder. The job updates the database internal statistics, defragments indexes and clears unused data. Veeam Backup & Replication runs the DatabaseMaintenance system job once a week and when the Veeam Backup Service is restarted. Veeam Backup & Replication maintains the configuration database. For more information, see the following guidelines: Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practices. The database instance can be located on an SQL Server installed either locally (on the same machine where the backup server is running) or remotely. Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Database stores data about the backup infrastructure, jobs, sessions and other configuration data.Mount Service mounts backups and replicas for file-level access, browsing the VM guest file system and restoring VM guest OS files and application items to the original location.The Veeam Guest Catalog Service running on the backup server works in conjunction with search components installed on Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and (optionally) a dedicated Microsoft Search Server. Index data is stored in the Veeam Backup Catalog - a folder on the backup server. Veeam Guest Catalog Service manages guest OS file system indexing for VMs and replicates system index data files to enable search through guest OS files.The Veeam Backup Service runs under the LocalSystem account or account that has the local Administrator permissions on the backup server.
