  "summary": "Veeam Data Platform is automatable today through the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API on a licensed backup server, with official PowerShell as a second path. The product page presents Foundation, Advanced, and Premium editions for backup and recovery across workloads. Veeam documents a REST API that queries and operates on VBR entities over HTTPS using OpenAPI Specification 3.0 (swagger.json in the install folder). Clients obtain tokens at POST /api/oauth2/token using grant_type password (backup-server credentials) or authorization_code. Requests send an x-api-version header. The v13.1 what's-new page continues REST coverage for RBAC, malware detection, high availability, deduplication repositories, and Instant Recovery. Enterprise Manager exposes a separate REST surface with HTTP Basic session logon; this record treats the VBR server API as the primary path. Official PowerShell cmdlets connect with Connect-VBRServer on Windows and Linux. Veeam publishes llms.txt with company-level agent guidance; it is not a VBR endpoint catalogue. Third-party MCP listings exist in the official registry; vendor product docs opened here do not declare a first-party server, so MCP ownership stays unknown. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API scores 7 and is the best path.\n"
