Step 6. Specify Network Settings
At the Networking step of the wizard, do the following:
- Choose a virtual network to which the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance will be connected.
You can create a new network or specify an existing one:
- To create a new virtual network, select the (create new) option from the Virtual network drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication automatically create a network with a set of predefined security rules.
- To specify an existing virtual network, select it from the Virtual network drop-down list. For a virtual network network to be displayed in the list of available networks, it must be created in Microsoft Azure for the region specified at step 4 of the wizard as described in Microsoft Docs.
- Choose a subnet to which the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance will be connected.
You can create a new subnet or specify an existing one:
- [Applies only if you have selected the create new option from the Virtual network drop-down list] To create a new subnet, select the (create new) option from the Subnet drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically create a subnet in the specified virtual network.
- To specify an existing subnet, select it from the Subnet drop-down list. For a subnet to be displayed in the list of available subnets, it must be created in the specified virtual network as described in Microsoft Docs.
- Choose a network security group that will be associated with the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance.
You can create a new security group or specify an existing one:
- To create a new security group, select the (create new) option from the Network security group drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically create a group.
- To specify an existing security group, select it from the Network security group drop-down list. For a security group to be displayed in the list of available groups, it must be created in Microsoft Azure as described in Microsoft Docs.
Important |
If you select an existing security group, consider that security rules added to the group must allow inbound internet access from both the backup server and a local machine that you plan to use to work with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. To learn how to create security rules, see Microsoft Docs. |
- [Applies only if you choose to create a new security group] In the Backup server public IP address field, specify a public IP address or a range of public IP addresses that will be allowed to access the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance. Veeam Backup & Replication will create a security rule for the specified IP addresses. Note that the IP address of the backup server must fall into the specified IP address range.
Tip |
The IPv4 address ranges must be specified in the CIDR notation (for example, 12.23.34.0/24). To specify multiple IP addresses or multiple IP address ranges, use a comma-separated list. |
