Step 7a. Select Resource Group

The Resource Group step of the wizard is displayed if you have selected the Resource Manager model at the Deployment Model step of the wizard.

At the Resource Group step of the wizard, you can specify settings of the resource group to which the Azure proxy must be placed.

By default, Veeam Backup Free Edition creates a new resource group for the Azure proxy and places the proxy to it. If necessary, you can place the proxy to an existing resource group.

Select the necessary option for the Azure proxy:

• Select Place VM into the existing resource group if you want to place the Azure proxy to an existing resource group. From the list below, select the necessary resource group.
• Select Create a new resource group if you want to create a dedicated resource group for the Azure proxy. In the Name field, enter a name for the new resource group. The resource group name can be up to 64 characters long, and can contain only alphanumeric, underscore and hyphen characters.

In the new resource group, Veeam Backup Free Edition automatically creates a Network Security Group, dynamic public IP and network interface. In the DNS name label field, enter a name of the new dynamic public IP created with Veeam Backup Free Edition. The DNS name label can be up to 80 characters long, and can contain only alphanumeric, dash and underscore characters.
