+## Veritas Backup Exec (formerly Symantec Backup Exec)
+
+This is a Monitoring Studio X template for monitoring Veritas Backup Exec v20+ on Windows platforms.
+It monitors:
+- Agent Servers
+- Alerts
+- Jobs (completed and active)
+- Services
+- Storage Device Servers
+- Storage Devices
+
+The template uses the Backup Exec PowerShell module *BEMCLI* to execute commands on the Backup Exec Servers. Ensure that the user account used for monitoring has access to execute the module.
+
+## Configuring through Monitoring Studio X Web UI
+
+* Add the Backup Exec Server host under the *Monitored Hosts* tab and define the system type as *Microsoft Windows*.
+* Provide appropriate user credentials to access the server.
+* Activate the *VERITAS BACKUP EXEC* template and click on Create.
+
+## Configuring through TrueSight/Helix CMA
+
+Once the template is imported into a TrueSight/Helix CMA policy for Monitoring Studio X (Configuration Variables), you need to:
+- add the Backup Exec servers with appropriate *System Credentials* that allow connecting to the server and run Backup Exec BEMCLI
+- associate the template (*backupExec*)
+- (optional) change the default macros by adding them to the *Required Macros*
+
+## Required Macros
+
+The templates use following required macros. If you prefer to leave as default, do not add them to the *Required Macros* in the *Associated Templates* in the TrueSight CMA policy.
+- **JOB_HOURS**: Number of hours completed jobs are monitored for. Default: 48 hours
