When installing VB365, all components including Veeam Explorers are installed on to the VB365 Controller machine. This means that Backup Administrators need to log on to the VB365 Controller to initiate restores which creates a security risk, especially when this is a shared environment.

As a best practice, deploy a dedicated machine to host the the VB365 Console and Veeam Explorers:

• Veeam Explorers can only be individually installed on a server running Veeam Backup & Replication: User Guide
• In a Veeam Explorer -> Add Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Server: User Guide
• To connect to the VB365 Controller using any Veeam Explorer, port TCP/9194 must be open.
