Generate token (deprecated)

Updated 20 January 2025 

In the latest version of the plugin, the token is generated by the plugin by passing the username and password, so this section is deprecated.

With veeam backup replication open with the chosen user, navigate to the following url:

https://<hostname>:<port>/swagger/ui/index.html

* Default port: 9419

On the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API 1.0 page, expand the Login section and click POST api/oauth2/token.

In the expanded method window, click Test.

In the grant_type drop-down list, select password.

In the username and password fields, specify the credentials of a user created in Veeam Backup & Replication.

Click on Execute.

Wait for the response from the server. A successfully completed operation returns the response code 200. In the body of the response, Veeam Backup & Replication returns an access token, its expiration time and an update token.

* Remember that the duration of the access token is only 15 minutes.
