In this article
Veeam Backup & Replication supports encrypted VMs. To let Veeam Backup & Replication successfully back up encrypted VMs, the backup infrastructure must meet the following requirements:
- VM encryption instances must be pre-configured in the virtual infrastructure: you must set up the key management server, create the VM encryption policy and assign it to VMs in advance.
- The backup proxy used for backup must be working in the Virtual appliance transport mode or Network transport mode with SSL encryption enabled.
- The backup proxy working in the Virtual appliance transport mode must be deployed on an encrypted VM.
