I am not a Veeam expert, but restore will be the same 2 step process:

1. you restore mksysb from your Veeam backup
2. you restore AIX from mksysb

If you don't have NIM, there are several options:

• similar to what Christian wrote, you can create a DVD image from mksysb with mkdvd command and use it as a virtual optical device to restore AIX
• you can copy your mksysb to some existing AIX installation and restore it to the new disk using alt_disk_mksysb command, and then attach the disk to the AIX LPAR to be restored

Yeah, you have to have mkisofs installed and then can create the Veeam Recovery Image: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforaix/userguide/recovery_media.html?ver=40
