Step 2. Add Worker Configuration

For Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to be able to launch worker instances in the private environment, create a worker configuration in the same Azure region where the protected VM resides, as described in section Adding Worker Configurations. When creating the configuration, make sure to select a VNet for the worker instances.

Important

If you plan to protect Azure VMs that have Ultra Disks or Premium SSD v2 disks attached and you created the private DNS zones manually at step 1, you must create the worker configuration in the same Azure subscription where the private DNS zones reside.
